She's just not Kochanski. I wouldn't mind, but she isn't even the same character writing-wise - the original Kochanski is a working class gal like Lister, while she's clearly from the upper class. I don't know why they just didn't call her something else... You could make the excuse she's from a different universe and therefore a bit different. She's supposed to be Scottish still though. I do think Grogan's version is more a suitable love interest for Lister. Well, until the writers reconned it. |

I get the parallel universe thing, but again given it's a different actress and a completely different personality too it just seems weird to call her the same name to me.

Paul Darrow is one of the most entertaining novelists ever. His books are masterpieces of self-indulgence.

I read his first Lucifer novel and was very underwhelmed by it sadly. I own A Terrible Aspect, but I don't know if that's any good because I have yet to read it.

Yeah, they're very much an acquired taste. But I think you'd like Lucifer: Revelation much more. Avon actually gets to travel around and he has Orac for company and banter. A Terrible Aspect is probably his roughest novel, being the first one he ever wrote. |

The Davison era is a bit crap.

T2 is vastly inferior to the first.

I actually agree with that.

I actually agree with that. It's the kid. He's such an irritating little shit. |

lol No, I don't mind him. I think the main problem is it's too long, and the shift to the Dyson plot drops the main threat - the T1000 - out of the film for a large chunk and really kills the pace.
As others have noted the original is almost a slasher horror with SF overtones and it's just leaner and meaner with that.

I prefer Manhunter to Silence of the Lambs. Not saying the film is better mind you, just more to my taste.

I just love Michael Mann. Visually his films are among the most striking. I still think Heat is his masterpiece.

T2 is vastly inferior to the first. based take. T1 never needed a sequel. But the only one worth something is T3, for actually showing the apocalypse. |

The Davison era is a bit crap. I disagree. It isn't as consistently good as Tom's and there's some really dodgy stuff, but the classics of his era are right up there. |
