Just watched Dr. Who: Planet of Evil. It was really good. Great sets, FX and fantastic, over the top, acting. The plot was a little nebulous and what should been the most tense part was replaced by the line "I had a chat with it". All in all, solid fun.

So far, my rankings for Tom Baker are:
1. Ark in Space
2. Revenge of the Cybermen
3. Genesis of the Daleks
4. Planet of Evil
5. Terror of the Zygons
6. Sontaran Experiment
7. Robot

Next it's Pyramids of Mars!

Today, I woke from a dream. The war was over, and the city had been rebuilt—not narrow and grey, but as a place for people, warm and open and bright. The sun was shining. There was light, color, music, and drinks everywhere.

Happy people were singing and celebrating peace. Everyone was friendly and treated each other with kindness and respect. They seemed to like each other—even me. I nearly smiled back at them.

What a terrible nightmare!

I was confused for a moment—I thought I had failed, so I double-checked the surveillance data.

The area is clear of humans.

Radiation is high. The atmosphere is toxic.

There will be no restart. I can go into standby now.

This is my final entry.

Mission complete.

Read three things by Elizabeth Bear today. Two shorts involving a Viking witch and his horses - both of which I liked - and a longer thing which leaned more sci-fi, which I DNF. There as a time when I used to read Sci-Fi, but it doesn't seem to click any more.
