Nimavenl - Nicole's Random Ramblings

Source : Doctor Who @ BBC First aired 15 September 2012.  In this third episode of the seventh series, The Doctor inadvertently travels to wild-western America with Amy and Rory where they encounter some things that don't quite make sense. Things like electric lights in Mercy village's main street years before they were even invented, for instance.

This doctor turns out to be an alien named Kahler-Jex who crash-landed on Earth about ten years ago. When our Doctor investigates the strange alien doctor, it is revealed that this Doctor is actually a criminal who was once part of a team who experimented on volunteers to create an army of cyborgs who either died or killed countless people... And the one remaining cyborg is waiting for the townspeople to hand over the doctor so he can stand trial. Right then and there... In a story that can pretty much only happen...

A fast-paced and action packed episode that has the doctor "on a roll" like he was in this episode was great fun to watch. Dinosaurs on a space ship in space, with a time travelling alien doctor, humans from the past and the present, oh and a little blue box that transports everyone all around time and space. The episode shows that Earth Defense has picked up a ship travelling towards Earth that's not responding to any hails. Before firing missiles at the craft out of self-defence, thereby destroying it, The Doctor is asked to investigate. With 6 hours before the missiles will destroy the ship, The Doctor takes Queen Nefertiti, John Riddell (an English big-game hunter), Amy, Rory and Rory's father Brian along into space to figure out if they can't  turn the craft around.

Met minder dan 2% van de stemmen nog te tellen kunnen we met zekerheid zeggen dat de VVD en de PvdA de grootste partijen zijn. Alhoewel ik het op een aantal punten eens ben met Geert Wilders en de PVV ben ik toch blij om te zien dat de steun van Nederland voor de PVV minder lijkt te worden. Bedankt Nederland, ik heb wat vertrouwen in ons landje terug!

Star Trek celebrates 46 years of daring to dream of boldly going where none had gone before. The first Star Trek episode aired on 08 September 1966. To commemorate that, Google created a Google Doodle with characters from The Original Series on it. How totally awesome!!! Congratulations, Star Trek!

Asylum of the Daleks | BBC Kidnapped by the Daleks, The Doctor, Amy and Rory are dumped on their prison planet slash insane asylum ( slash resting place for the most terrifying and insane Daleks ever... ) to deactivate the failing force field that is protecting the planet so the Dalek parliament can destroy the planet before the force field fails completely and all the insane Daleks get out... somewhere... not nice The Doctor, Amy and Rory are helped by Oswin, a young woman stranded on the planet a year ago. She's stranded in an escape pod right at the heart of the Dalek planet. It is the crash landing of her ship the Alaska (still on the surface of the planet) that damaged the force field around the planet. The big problem with the planet is that it is covered in a nanogene cloud which means that anyone not protected by a special bracelet will slowly be transformed into a Dalek...

As written about from time to time on this Blog, I am an avid photographer. I've been using Instagram (a smartphone app for sharing photos with other users) for about 8 weeks now. It is an amazing thrill to see that other Instagram users, absolute and total random strangers I don't know and have never met or had contact with before, like the photos I take. They sometimes even like them enough to leave comments or to follow my updates. As not everyone these days has a smartphone or cares to download and/or use a photo sharing app, it is very handy that Instagram photos are also available outside the app. Click this link to see a copy of all my photos on Pingram , and if you happen to have your own Instagram account, don't be shy and come on by!
