Critics of jail project not planning to back down
By Sally Voth -- email@example.com
Some of the Shenandoah County residents who have vehemently opposed the construction of the RSW Regional Jail vow they won't be cowed in the face of a threat of legal action.
The RSW Regional Jail Authority decided on a 5-3 vote Thursday to have their attorney explore whether there was any legal recourse against the jail opponents whose letter-writing campaign delayed the sale of $45.36 million in jail bonds by a couple of weeks.
Del. Bob Marshall, R-Prince William County, on Friday said he didn't think the decision would hold up in court.
The bonds were sold by the Virginia Resource Authority on June 7, rather than in a pool of other requests May 23.
During that time, the interest rate went up about one-tenth of a percent, which will result in about an additional $1.74 million in debt service over 30 years, Ted Cole of Davenport and Co. LLC, told the authority Thursday afternoon.
This prompted authority member Daniel Murray Jr., Warren County North River District supervisor, to propose the resolution.
He, Warren County Administrator Doug Stanley, Warren County Sheriff Daniel McEathron, Shenandoah County Administrator Doug Walker and Shenandoah County Supervisors Chairman Conrad Helsley voted for the resolution.
Shenandoah County Sheriff Timothy C. Carter, Rappahannock County Administrator John McCarthy and Rappahannock County Supervisor Roger Welch opposed it.
A week before the May bonds sale, the citizens group bombarded VRA board members and staffers with emails, according to a memo from VRA program management director Peter D'Alema to Stanley, who chairs the jail authority.
"Throughout the course of the week of May 14, 2012, the email correspondence from the citizen group escalated in frequency and tone, culminating with unspecified threats of legal action regarding the 2012 Spring Pool and the RSW Jail Project," the memo states.
Woodstock attorney Brad Pollack also sent letters prior to the bonds sale to Virginia Secretary of Commerce and Trade Jim Cheng; Sen. Mark Obenshain, R-Harrisonburg; Del. Todd Gilbert, R-Woodstock; Del. Beverly Sherwood, R-Winchester; and Del. Michael Webert, R-Marshall.
In the letter to Cheng, Pollack asked for the sale to be put on hold while the VRA investigated the issue, which Pollack claimed was unconstitutional.
"The violation is that the RSW Regional Jail Authority Service Agreement was not approved by the voters as required by Article VII, Section 10, of the Virginia Constitution," the letter states.
Pollack's letter to the legislators asked them to pressure Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli to confirm that the three participating county boards of supervisors could choose to not honor the debt obligations of the authority.
In a Friday afternoon phone interview, Pollack said he hoped the First Amendment protected him and the others who tried to stop the sale.
"All we were doing was speaking the truth," he said. "As far as we're concerned, this whole endeavor is patently unconstitutional without a vote of the people. If this boondoggle turns out to be as bad as we predict it is, is [Murray] going to pony up the $100 million to pay back the taxpayers?
"We're not going to stop fighting this thing. As I see it, these bond issues have been an unconstitutional ploy that the money people have been doing for 20, 30 years."
Another vocal critic of the regional jail project, Cindy Bailey, also said she wouldn't be silenced. She questioned whether the bonds sale could've been delayed a week or two to see if the interest rates went back down.
"It was their choice to go ahead and sell them when they did with the increased interest rate," said Bailey, who was chief jailer of the Shenandoah County Jail when she retired. "All along, they've been so quick to spend taxpayer money on this project. This is going to cripple Shenandoah County's economy if we allow this to go through.
"We're filing a lawsuit. They did this yesterday to try to shut us up. That's all this was. It was a scare tactic and shame on them."
Bailey said the jail opponents plan to turn out at the Board of Supervisors' meeting on Tuesday.
"We're not intimidated by their lawsuit," she said. "We have the constitution and freedom of speech on our side."
Bailey is right, according to Marshall, who became acquainted with some of the jail protestors as he campaigned for the Republican nomination for a U.S. Senate seat. On Friday, Marshall said he'd consulted with three attorneys with the legislative services, who he said legislators rely on when drawing up statutes.
"They were scratching their heads as to what grounds there could possibly be to sue citizens who were merely conveying information to other agencies of the commonwealth," Marshall said. "They said unless they're chaining themselves and blocking the meeting, or something like that, they didn't understand the [decision] of the jail board to direct their attorney to do that."
Additionally, the VRA, and not the citizens group, made the decision to pull out of the sale, Marshall said.
"The supervisors, or the ones on the jail board, should've figured that out," Marshall said.

International Campaign to Raise Awareness of the Risks of Drinking in Pregnancy
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) is the term given to the range of damage caused by prenatal exposure to alcohol. The damage ranges from birth defects to neurological damage.
The first goal of FASD prevention is to increase awareness of the problem among women and the community.
While awareness is high in some countries, in many other countries awareness is low. Many organizations do not have the resources to design and carry out effective awareness initiatives.
We think it is time to work together, sharing ideas and using the power of the internet and social media. This project will give evidence-based information and will empower individuals to make their own decisions.

Your heart done racing from the UTA game yet? Mine finally settled down while writing the post game report. But man it sure was a good game! If you missed it check out the game summary right here. Now we move to today's matchup, as the other new Sun Belt school from the Lonestar State, Texas State, will journey to Diddle tonight in the second half of today's double-header.
A conference record of 2-5 doesn't sound impressive, does it? Didn't think so. That record resembles that the Bobcats haven't had the best season to put in simply. Despite the poor record, Texas State is riding a streak of sorts, as they are coming off of a win against Troy heading into tonight's matchup. They look to try and turn around a rugged start to SBC play, and salvage the rest of their season. I'm not so sure that it will happen against the Tops tonight, but we will have to see. If the Bobcats want to construct an upset, they have some key players they will have to depend on.
One of those players is senior forward Joel Wright, who averages 14.6 PPG along with 6.5 RPG. Following right behind him is young talent Freshman forward Emani Gant, who is averaging 10.8 PPG as well as 5.3 RPG. Gant has been a presence the entirety of the season, however he has been on fire of late. Last Saturday he went for a career high 21 points against Troy, and has averaged 18.5 points as well as 17 of 25 shooting over the past two outings. Not to mention Gant is second in the Sun Belt in field goal percentage as he sits at 58.4%. The Bobcats will use these two guys as the pinnacle of their offensive attack.
As for the Hilltoppers, I think we saw their true points of emphasis in order to win tonight's game against UT-Alrington. The Tops started out slow Thursday and had to catch up throughout the entirety of the contest. Although I don't think the Tops will have a problem about being behind tonight, they still need to work on their weak points. The Hilltoppers struggled with turnovers in the last outing, losing control of the ball 16 times. Also to mention, free throws – the Tops are just too inconsistent from the charity stripe and if that problem isn't solved FAST it could spell trouble. (A prime example of this that we saw against the Mavericks, George Fant, who played a big key in bringing WKU back by getting to the free throw line often, but missed 10 opportunities. If Fant hit's a majority of those, it's no where near as close a game down the stretch.)
In Thursday's game, the Tops main points contributors were T.J. Price (21) and Chris Harrison-Docks (17). I look for these two, along with the rest of the Hilltopper guards, to have a field day against the Bobcats, who come into Diddle dead last in the Sun Belt field goal percentage defense. If WKU cleans up just a few of their mistakes, then I think they will run away with this one quite easily.
My starting line-up includes Caden Dickerson, Harrison-Docks, T.J., Aaron Adeoye, and Fant. These players have been key performers in SBC play and I look to see that trend continue tonight! Plus, Coach Harper said in his press conference Thursday that he liked the smaller lineup and thought they played better. Let's see if this trend continues.
I'm pretty sure the Tops will be able to secure this one quickly, which aside from the ULM game, will be a good change of pace – these first half double-digit deficits are getting old. (Now watch me say that and it actually be a good game.)
But whether it will be a blowout or close one make sure you make your way to Diddle! All of the action begins at 7PM sharp! See you there! Stand Up and Cheer!

The new kids on the block let me down. I picked Utah and Colorado to deliver mild upsets, and both teams continued to make their transition to the Pac-12 look difficult.
But the picks sure to go mostly right still managed to deliver a 3-2 weekend. Here's the weekend rewind:
Utah at USC
My prediction: Utes get a road breakthrough with a 24-20 victory over the injured Trojans. Actual outcome: USC is 2-0 at home sans Lane Kiffin after a 19-3 win over the turnover-prone Utes.
Arizona at Colorado
My prediction: The Buffs quadruple their win total from last year with a 38-35 victory. Actual outcome: CU is headed for yet another losing season after getting abused by B.J. Denker in a 44-20 home loss.
California at Washington
My prediction: The Dawgs will get their elusive fifth win and knock the Bears out of bowl contention with a 45-20 victory. Actual outcome: The Dawgs are 5-3 after dropping the Bears to 1-7 with a 41-17 victory.
Stanford at Oregon State
My prediction: The Cardinal grinds out a 31-21 victory in Corvallis. Actual outcome: The Cardinal holds on for a 20-12 victory in Corvallis.
UCLA at Oregon
My prediction: The Ducks remain perfect entering the showdown with Stanford after a 45-21 victory. Actual outcome: The Ducks are 8-0 and No. 2 in the BCS Standings after a 42-14 victory.
Idle: Arizona State, Washington State
Season record: 50-13 (.794)

New Who: Doctor Debut Episodes
Guest contributor Chris Taylor looks over the debut episodes of each Doctor from the revival so far.
Doctor Who returns to our screens in a week's time, with Peter Capaldi's first, full-length episode as the Twelfth Doctor. As this episode marks the beginning of a new era of Doctor Who, I thought this would be an appropriate opportunity to look back in time, and give my thoughts on the past debut (first full-length) episodes of the first three new Who Doctors, as well as my predictions on what to expect in the Twelfth Doctor's debut episode – Deep Breath.
This episode, in my opinion, is the most important in New Who history, for the simple fact that it's the very first. This episode was responsible for re-introducing fans of the classic series to Doctor Who, but more importantly introducing the show to a whole new generation of viewers, that had never heard of or seen Doctor Who before.
Whilst the episode marks the debut of Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor, its primary focus is on Rose Tyler – introducing her to both the Doctor and us the viewers. I believe that having Rose as the central character of the episode (after all, the episode is named after her) was a brilliant idea by episode writer, and then showrunner, Russell T Davies. The primary function of the companion is to ask questions – to be the voice of the viewer. Whilst Rose investigates and learns about the Doctor we do so as well – we are taken on as much of a journey as Rose is. I believe that this adds a personal level to the episode and makes us feel a part of it.
Something I admire about Rose is that whilst promoting a very new, 21st century Doctor Who, it harks back to a much earlier era by having the Autons and the Nestene Consciousness as the first monsters of new Who. What's notable about the Autons and Nestene Consciousness is that they first appeared in the Third Doctor's debut story Spearhead from Space. So whilst the majority of viewers had no idea of the significance of both monsters (the Autons are only mentioned by name in the credits), classic series viewers could enjoy seeing two of the most well known monsters in Doctor Who history brought back for a brand new era. As such, Rose caters well for new and classic fans.
Rose is one of only a handful of episodes which the viewers don't need to have seen any of the episodes before it to know what's going on. I believe that this was necessary. Although it's a continuing story, Rose is very much The Unearthly Child of the 21st century – for many it was their first Doctor Who episode; their starting point. Rose, although technically it is, could have been known as season 27, episode 1 but instead it's series 1, episode 1. Something I admire about Rose is that it's promoted as being the start of something very new, whilst also being identifiable as something that had already been going for 41 years and 4 months.
The Christmas Invasion
Essentially The Power of the Daleks of the 21st century. The Christmas Invasion is noted for two things: 1) It's the first post-regeneration episode of new Who. 2) It's the first ever Christmas special in the whole of the show's history. This episode, in my opinion, is the second most important in new Who history – having successfully introduced Doctor Who to a 21st century audience, the Doctor Who team were tasked with introducing a new lead actor, after only having had Christopher Eccleston in the role, on-screen, for just under three months.
Like Rose, this episode was primarily companion-orientated. I believe that this was a good decision by Russell T Davies as it offers a break from the regular "formula" – there is something of a role reversal, with Rose taking a leadership role and caring for the Doctor as he recovers from regenerating. The exploration of post-physical-appearance-regeneration and the effect it has on the Tenth Doctor is a crucial plot device, which allows for this role reversal. It also creates a heightened sense of danger which put me on the edge of my seat when first viewing the episode. It also sets up the Tenth Doctor's grand entrance, which brings me to my next point:
Although being David Tennant's debut episode, he had a lot less screen time compared to his usual amount. The lack of it for the majority of the episode does well in hooking the audience for when he does make his entrance. I think that Russell T Davies' writing is excellent, as the Tenth Doctor's scenes, from his entrance on the Sycorax spaceship onwards, are fundamentally him analysing himself. As he is, so are we – trying to get an idea of what this new incarnation will be like; this adds, as I mentioned with Rose, a personal level to the episode.
The Eleventh Hour
After Rose and The Christmas Invasion this episode, in my opinion, is the third most important in new Who history. The Eleventh Hour is notable because, as well as obviously introducing a new incarnation of the Doctor, it was the debut episode of the first major overhaul since Doctor Who returned back in 2005. Not a single thing on-screen, from the end of The Eleventh Hour onwards, remained the same. As such, this episode is more relatable to Rose, in that whilst it's introducing a new incarnation of the Doctor, it's also introducing, although fundamentally the same, a very new Doctor Who.
This is my favourite Doctor debut episode of new Who, and one of my favourite Eleventh Doctor stories. Why? It's hard to explain. Essentially, the story is the same – the to-be-companion meets and learns about the Doctor, before deciding to travel with him; this relates to Rose in The Christmas Invasion as well, as she has to get used to a new incarnation and decide whether she wants to travel with him or not. Perhaps I just prefer Moffat's writing to Davies', but The Eleventh Hour, for me, is a much faster passed, adrenaline-rush of an episode.
In 65 minutes of storytelling, we're introduced to Amy Pond. Unlike Rose's introduction, we get to see Amy at different stages in her life, including as a child. I prefer Amy's introduction compared to Rose's because of this reason. I believe it gives The Eleventh Hour the emotional edge as there is a stronger, and for Amy much longer, connection between the Doctor and Amy. Amy's introduction is one of my favourites of any companion; Moffat's writing is genius in creating a three-dimensional character that in such a short space of time we feel, well at least I did, totally emotionally invested in.
The Eleventh Hour introduces and focuses heavily on the story arc of the series – the crack in the universe. I admire this episode because it feels like an integral part of series, rather than having the feel of a stand-alone adventure, with the sole purpose of introducing a new incarnation of the Doctor. The Christmas Invasion also focuses on story arc – setting up the story arc for series 2 – Torchwood. Rose however feels much more like a stand-alone episode.
Deep Breath
This episode, as you've probably guessed by now, in my opinion, is the fourth most important in new Who history. I believe that this episode will be most relatable to The Christmas Invasion, as the companion will remain the same. Also, Deep Breath will feature recurring characters Vastra, Jenny and Strax – relatable to The Christmas Invasion as other recurring characters also featured: Jackie Tyler and Mickey Smith. Also, it appears from the recent episode trailer that the Twelfth Doctor will be wearing a nightgown – the Tenth Doctor in Howard's dressing gown (complete with apple) anyone?
I believe that like all the previous new Who Doctor debut episodes, but more specifically The Christmas Invasion, Deep Breath will be companion-orientated and focus primarily on Clara and how she adjusts and deals with a new incarnation of the Doctor. However, unlike The Christmas Invasion and more like The Eleventh Hour I believe Deep Breath will be much more of an adrenaline-rush – there's a T-Rex stomping around Victorian London; could there be anything more adrenaline-packed? This brings me nicely onto my next point:
The setting. The three previous new Who Doctor debut episodes have all been set in contemporary times. This is the first to be set in a completely new time period – Victorian England. As such, I believe that this will give Deep Breath a completely different tone and feel to its new Who Doctor debut episode predecessors.
Whilst the episode will have its fundamental job of introducing us to the Twelfth Doctor, I believe Deep Breath will be an original, high-stakes episode. With it being feature-length, I believe that it will serve as one of the grandest introductions of a new incarnation of the Doctor in the whole of Doctor Who history.

Another great article!
One major problem I have with The Christmas Invasion is the sort of broken promise it introduced. "No second chances. I'm that sort of a man." I thought - whoa! We're gonna get a serious Doctor, with some properly interesting moral choices! And then they sort of forgot all that and turned him a bit mopey, and high & mighty. Interesting that he straight up kills a guy in that episode, and then 2 series later is ranting on about how he "never would". I love the 10th Doctor, but I feel they missed out there. Lot of conflicting messages in Tennant's era.
Okay, I don't like doing marks out of ten, so I'll just go for a hit-miss-maybe system instead:
An Unearthly Child (but not 100,000 BC) : introduces the new show superbly, with two very human teachers investigating the strange new girl at their school, and finding her even stranger grandfather. Very much a hit. (Would be a maybe if I included the Stone Age episodes, which are just dull. They are a miss in themselves).
The Power of the Daleks: This story gave Doctor Who its longevity, the mysterious stranger who called himself Doctor slowly showing himself to be the same man at heart and showing that the lead actor could successfully be replaced. Polly and Ben share the viewer's uncertainty in what is also a thrilling story in its own right. Big hit, and how I wish it still existed. No other Loose Cannon reconstruction gripped me like this did.
Spearhead from Space: This one arguably had a bigger overhaul to deal with than even the Eleventh Hour. The Autons are a superb creation, and they get a fine story going alongside the mysterious alien in the hospital. Like his predecessors, Pertwee hits the ground running. Perhaps not quite as big a hit as the previous new Doctor stories, but a hit all the same.
Robot: This is an odd one, as it feels like the definitive Third Doctor story, but with the Fourth Doctor in it. That is its main strength: Tom Baker gets to showcase his talents by being the spanner in the works. Its main weakness is the actual story: it's just not all that good. There's a lot to like here, but it's a maybe.
Castrovalva: The idea of a debut story being the conclusion to a trilogy was a good way of making the transition. Davison isn't quite at his best here, but is certainly good enough. Unfortunately, the story itself is a two-parter with a two-episode prologue to sit through first. This is another maybe.
The Twin Dilemma: Oh dear. Making the new Doctor unlikable was not a good idea, and Colin Baker overplays all the script's faults. The story has nowhere near enough plot for four episodes, and gets the Sixth Doctor's era off to a truly dreadful start. Quite possibly the biggest miss in all of Doctor Who...
Time and the Rani: ... although this runs it close. A daft story with guest characters it's impossible to care about. The prat-falling clown we get here has not a trace of the fascinating character McCoy would later turn his doctor into. Miss.
The telemovie: Paul McGann gets his Doctor off to a fine start in a well-designed movie. Unfortunately, the plot ultimately makes no sense. There's just about enough to like here to call it a maybe, but it's no wonder the first revival was stillborn.
Rose: This is why the second revival was a triumph. It gets the important stuff right: as with 1963, it's told from the point of view of a human who meets a mysterious alien. It's not perfect: the Autons could have been better used, and the mistreatment of Mickey by the girl we're expected to root for starts here. Nonetheless, it gets the important stuff right. Hit.
The Christmas Invasion: It wasn't such a bad idea to keep the Doctor sidelined while characters we knew dealt with an alien invasion, and it makes Tennant's late arrival all the more spectacular. It's been long established that the Doctor is a fine swordsman, so I've no objections there. Another hit.
The Eleventh Hour: And the third debut since the revival is another hit. Smith owns the screen right from the start, throughout his hilarious encounter with young Amelia. This carries on with the older Amy and Rory, as an enjoyable story carries us along. Great stuff.
So, six hits, three maybes and two misses. Notably, the new series has so far followed the record of the classic, with three hits. I only hope Deep Breath bucks the trend by being another hit, unlike Robot.
Although David Tennant wasn't my favourite Doctor his debut was by far the best!
Rose - 9/10
The perfect opening episode for the relaunched Doctor Who. Perfect introduction to the Ninth Doctor. Just about a perfect story, if only the Mickey bits didn't have him so silly. But still, great start!
Christmas Invasion - 6/10
After the excitement of the Bad Wolf two-parter, this is quite boring. Its at least 20 minutes too long, and the Tenth Doctor doesn't have much to do. Its Castrovalva all over again - but at least the villains' scheme makes sense here, so thats something.
Eleventh Hour - 10/10
Just brilliant. Eleven marches in with a bang. Absolutely nothing wrong with this story - could watch it for hours on and on.
How I rank each Doctors debut:
An Unearthly Child - 7/10
Power of the Daleks - 8/10
Spearhead from Space - 10/10
Robot - 7/10
Castrovalva - 7/10
The Twin Dilemma - 4/10
Time and the Rani - 5/10
The TV Movie - 6/10
Rose - 7/10
The Christmas Invasion - 9/10
The Eleventh Hour - 10/10
1. Rose - 10/10
2. The Eleventh Hour - 9.75/10
3. The Christmas Invasion - 9/10
Hopefully (and most likely) "Deep Breath" will be my new number one!
I really enjoyed this article.
Rose 7/10 - Sorry folks but I can't stand Rose and the more I watch this episode, the more I dislike her. Billie Piper, excellent actor, but I don't think she got to shine in Doctor Who until she played the Moment in the 50th anniversary special. Don't get me started on Mickey and how Rose treated him ... grrr.
I'm a huge fan of RTD, but find that there is a marked difference in writing quality for leading characters (as played in various shows by Chris, David and John Barrowman), and supporting characters, namely Martha, Mickey and Rose. At the risk of being controversial, there are criticisms against Steven Moffat for being sexist, which could be argued, but the evidence seems more clear against RTD. Yes RTD introduced more female and non-white characters during his era, but most have stereotypical characteristics, which for me tainted his tenure, and it all started with this episode.
Christmas Invasion 9/10 - I LOVE, LOVE David Tennant, and for once I correctly predicted that he would be regarded as one of the best Doctors of all time. Having seen him in Casanova, David for me was the only choice to follow Chris. So what did the writers do? Made him sleep for 75% of the episode. Ok it was a good story, but, if you're going to go to all the trouble of getting a new Doctor, don't let him sleep for most of it. Thankfully because David is such a class act, he managed to turn a episode from a 6/10 into a 9/10, simply by waking up. We had the Rose-centred story before, why another one? I want to hear about the new Doctor, from the new Doctor.
I think David wore more clothes in his opening episode of Doctor Who than in the entire series of Casanova, yet spent the same amount of time in bed! Casanova was obviously good prep.
11th Hour 11/10 - This opener for me was beyond perfect. The acting, the plot, the scenery, the location, the cast, the script, the wardrobe, the cameos, (I mean come on Annette Crosbie and Patrick Moore ... how cool were they!!!) - everything was simply brilliant. It was funny, serious, dark, light, different, the same - the right balance of all the elements that makes Doctor Who such a great show. It also happily for me shut a lot of critics up about Matt Smith before the opening credits had aired. Not bad for a youngster with the face of a 12 year old. Glad Matt proved that an actors age should be irrelevant to the role of the Doctor.
Deep Breath I will try to reserve judgment on Peter's opener, I know he's a fantastic actor and believe that he will do an excellent job as the Doctor. I can't see Deep Breath beating 11th hour, but I am very excited to see after all the positive hype, how it all unfolds.
A brilliant article, Mr Taylor! And very well written!
The introduction to Rose is perfect and RTD did a fantastic job relaunching the show with the episode, except the Autons with a bit too much cheese, I think.
The Eleventh Hour is my favourite Regeneration Story - it had me sold at Fishfingers and Custard. The Christmas Invasion was not a very effective Regeneration Story, I found. I don't like that The Doctor was out of action for most of the episode - which is where it differs from Power of the Daleks. I suspect actually with Capaldi being a bit wacky apparently in his first story, Deep Breath will take more of the Power of the Daleks route, whereas I felt like The Eleventh Hour was more Spearhead to Space for a new generation.
Rose: 8/10 Christmas Invasion: 7/10 The Eleventh Hour: 10/10
Thank you all for your comments!
As I stated in the article: my favourite new Who post-regeneration episode is The Eleventh Hour. For me it stands out by a mile. I'm not sure whether that's because of all the changes that came with it, but something I am sure of is that there is something magical about it - an aspect, not easily identified, that gives it that fairytale feel - something that I never really felt with RTD's era.
My scores:
Rose: 8/10
The Christmas Invasion: 8/10
The Eleventh Hour: 9.5/10
- Chris
I really liked this reading. Made me want to watch all these episodes XD
My scores:
1.Rose 3/10 (To me this is one of the worst episodes, sorry)
2.The Christmas Invasion 8/10
3.The Eleventh Hour 9/10
christmas invasion isn't the first, its the second beten by the feast of steven
If I had to pick, I'd say the eleventh hour was the best. Moffat and Matt had a lot to prove with this fantastic series opener and I think they managed to silence most of their critics and proove that the show could continue on without RTD or DT. I usually recommend new fans start with this episode as I feel this one is one of the best episodes ever produced. Moffat should be fine with deep breath as long as he doesn't try too hard to top this masterpiece of a story.
Good article for me
1.Rose 7/10
2.The christmas invasion 10/10 (My favourite christmas special as well)
3.the 11th hour 8/10
I believe that all of the recent Doctor introduction episodes did exactly what they needed to do at the time of their release. "Rose" is the simplest of them, but it's just weird and interesting enough to entice people without throwing too much of the Whoniverse at them at one time which, with the inclusion of the Next Time screen, made for a feeling that absolutely anything could happen. "The Christmas Invasion" obviously saw the new Doctor sidelined for a large chunk of the story which in the face of the invading Sycorax created a real sense of peril and uncertainty; a feeling that was quickly dashed away when Ten finally did awake and resolve everything in his charming, fast talking, Estuary-accented way. It was saying "Yeah, there's this new guy here, and he is quite different from the last guy. But don't worry viewers. You are in good hands." Finally, "The Eleventh Hour" was as much the beginning of a new era as "Deep Breath" purports to be, what with the major change-up that occurred behind the scenes. In this episode, it was important for Steven Moffat to establish his reign and let the audience know right off the bat what they can expect from him. And he did so, with panache. But it's interesting to note that, while this script is unmistakably Moffat, it definitely feels the most RTD-ish of anything he's ever written. And that's important, because it smoothed the transition quite nicely. It didn't feel completely alienating to long time viewers, and from that point forward, Moffat would be free to go in all the directions he wished with full trust from the audience.
In short, every new Who doctor debut has been spectacular, and there isn't one that doesn't accomplish everything it set out to with style and prowess.
Personally I've never found any of the new Who post-regeneration episodes to be that spectacular. I mean, they've all been okay, but none of them have been brilliant. It can be done though, look at "Spearhead from Space". It was a post-regeneration story and a thoroughly brilliant piece of fiction. Why can't we get that I'm new Who? Hopefully "Deep Breath" won't let me down.
Rose: 8/10 - Can't fault it. Brilliantly devised, well written. Only problem for me was a bit of hammy acting in parts and Mickey. Bloody Mickey...
The Christmas Invasion: 7/10 Only really enjoyed the last fifteen minutes of this. Some of the writing was poor (or poorly directed... not sure which). Tennant just owned it, though. That Lion King part is one of my favourite scenes of anything ever.
Eleventh Hour: 9/10 - one of my favourites. Great story, tremendously fun plus it was the first episode since the Revival to truly have a professional feel about it. The directing was great and so different from before - it just looked so much better. And that rooftop scene was the definition of "epic".
I have high hopes for Deep Breath. We have a lot of time in it, meaning not only can we establish the Doctor and any possible new overall tone or direction, but can also fit in some action and really see the Doctor and Clara's new dynamic put to good use. No new Doctor episodes are stand outs for me, primarily because they focus (rightly) on their main job, but Deep Breath has the potential to do much!
My scores:
Rose - 8.5. Solid episode, and both Billie and Eccleston are likable, but plastic Mickey was dumb.
The Christmas Invasion - 9.5. Highly enjoyable. David Tennant immediately makes the role his own in just 15 or so minutes. Only downside is some of the FX are quite dated, but I don't care much because I don't watch DW for the special effects.
The Eleventh Hour - 8.5. Solid and enjoyable, but the ending seems like a redo of the Christmas Invasion to me. I don't find it as brilliant as others.
Great article. And since the recent "Story Thus Far" article, I'm in a scoring mood...
Rose 9/10 (did exactly what it needed to. Love it.)
The Christmas Invasion 10/10 (just genius, imo.)
The Eleventh Hour 9.5/10 (my second favourite episode of the whole Matt era, to The Doctor's Wife.)
@G_Unitt Not to mention that sword fight was cringeworthy, Poor skinny David trying to wield a broadsword without falling over :)
@G_Unitt Maybe that's because each circumstance was different, plus the Tenth Doctor had gone through some intense trials and tribulations that affected him deeply. Like a realistic character, he had his doubts and challenges, and that made him really interesting and compelling for many people. He was a character that always kept evolving until the very end, and I think it's one of the main reasons why he is so popular. That and Tennant totally sold it.
@Arkleseizure How do you get LiveFyre to do a line break? It just does not work for me.
Rose often is written as a very selfish person, the way she treats Mickey and her mother is disgusting. I get she is a young woman in love, but far too often they have her acting like she couldn't care less if Mickey or Jackie just up and died as long as she can still go on being the "important" person in the world with "her" Doctor. I think I could have liked her as a character if she wasn't written in a manner that makes you cringe, her whining in Journey's End about "I was here first" is laughable since Sarah Jane was present
@WhoLocked "Stereotypical characteristics." Such as?
@MrJimiTheFish Thank you very much! :-)
@Zakk Williams Thank you for your comment!
How come you rate Rose so low?
- Chris
@ Notsosmartguy the dalek of Jersey Thanks for your comment!
As well as being one one of the best episodes of new Who, The Eleventh Hour is a good place for new fans to start because it's the beginning of a completely new era. This is one of the reasons The Eleventh Hour stands out to me so much; a point where it feels like the show reinvented itself. RTD's and Moffat's eras are, for me, completely distinguishable from each other, yet clear that they're a part of the same show.
- Chris
@ Notsosmartguy the dalek of Jersey Yeah I recommend The Eleventh Hour. I had an American friend who couldn't get into the show with "Rose", but with "The Eleventh Hour", he was hooked XD
and for the classics
1.An unearthly child (I've only seen the first part) 9/10
2.Spearhead from space 8/10
3.Robot 6/10
4.Time and the Rani 3/10
4.Doctor who 7/10
@Deus_Ex_Machina I didn't think Spearhead From Space was amazing, though. It was good, but some parts dragged for me like much of classic who.
And, as we're doing scores again (yay, rankings! So long without doing any, and three have come along in quick succession!) - of the ones I've seen so far:
An Unearthly Child - 9/10 - here I've been a bit cheeky and only considered the first episode, personally I don't feel the remainder of the serial really does it quite the same level of justice (though I also greatly enjoy them) and it works perfectly as a standalone in any case.
Spearhead from Space - 8/10 - I just love Pertwee's Doctor, and we see some of his comedy acting really come through brilliantly here. A good story, the pacing sometimes slows a little but I enjoy it.
Doctor Who - 6/10 - Essentially I would have to review a movie here - but my view is similar to many put forwards before on this site.
Rose - 8/10 - An episode with a very serious and important job description, and it pulls it off well. But in the general perception of how it is overall, it's not really a masterpiece, and could have done with an hour.
The Christmas Invasion - 9/10 - Tennant dominates despite spending a considerable period of the episode in bed with his eyes shut, the sense of peril is well done and a balance of setup and action is well found.
The Eleventh Hour - 7/10 - Good, intriguing start, slows a little in the middle and finishes well, if a little too exaggerated a setup for the Doctor - I'm not such a fan of the rooftop moment as others are.
For each debut episode, I would say
An Unearthly Child 5/10
Power of the Daleks 8/10
Spearhead From Space 7/10
Robot 8.5/10
Castrovalva 10/10
The Twin Dilemma 7/10
Time and the Rani 6.5/10
The TV Movie 9/10
Rose 8.5/10
The Christmas Invasion 8/10
The Eleventh Hour 10/10
My problem with The Christmas Invasion is that, eah, David gets the vibe in 15 minutes, but he's only conscious those 15 minutes, Matt gets the vibe in 15 minutes meanwhile he's on action, and I prefer that to the sleepy David in Christmas.
Also, can't wait for Deep Breath, but I'm in Spain when it airs! (I think I've said this on several occasions in several different discussions but it doesn't make it any less annoying.) I do, however, get to watch two Doctor Whos in a row the day after I get back! Yay!
@stargazer0118 @G_Unitt not really the 9th Doctor developed a lot more in one series than 10 did his entire run. 11 also had some great development though it's a bit too subtle.
@stargazer0118 @G_Unitt Evolving? No, sorry. David's Doctor was the master of the ping-back. Even at the start of The End of Time, he pretty much reverted to type following his Time Lord Victorious explosion.
I pressed return twice. Probably something to do with my ipad that made it work.
@TheNightmareChild sees into your soul! @WhoLocked I disagree with his assumption that RTD's era was sexist. Overall I feel like he did a good job. But he is right in saying a lot of his female characters were stereotypical. In particular the mothers. They're all a bit hysterical, not very smart, none of them want her daughter to follow her dreams, "you have to stay at home, with me" seems to be the norm. Rose is also very stereotypical. There isn't a single guy she meets she doesn't have a crush for : Mickey, Adam, Jack, Nine, Ten, Human Ten...
@CGT You're welcome! I just think it does very poor in introducing new people to the show. Practically everyone I know struggled to keep on watching the series because of this episode. Many people adore it and I think it's because it's the first episode of the revival and nostalgia is very powerful indeed.
Personally, I don't find very realistic the way Rose acts in this episode, at all. When Mickey supposedly dies, she doesn't shed a single tear and doesn't seem that sad actually (that put me off entirely), and at the end she goes with the Doctor very easily in my opinion. Then the resolution was way too simple, a simple 'potion' that came out of nowhere. And plastic Mickey was way too much, you can't take it seriously.
I do like the way the Doctor is portrayed though, appearing through history in photos and all that; but that's it.
@CGT @Zakk Williams I love Rose! Series 1 is one of my favourite series' of New Who. Narrowly defeated by Series 5.
@MrRazza, General Rogue Timelord Identifier "I'm not such a fan of the rooftop moment as others are." YANA.
@Liana21 Sometimes less is better, like in The Christmas Invasion. The moment the Doctor appears, when everything seemed lost, it's pure TV magic. Besides, Rose and Harriet Jones carry the episode perfectly.
@TheOncomingStorm There are cinemas on Spain that are going to screening it, look around for a Cinesa cinema.
@ Notsosmartguy the dalek of Jersey @stargazer0118 @G_Unitt I disagree completely. Eleven didn't change much throughout, he was basically still the same happy man he always was. I never felt the Ponds and River (whatever happned to her not sure) affected him that much. He didn't seem to experience the highs and lows that Ten did. Even 9 in his short season experienced more than him, IMO. To each their own.
@awkward912 @stargazer0118 @G_Unitt Yes evolving because the things that happened to him truly affected his character, all that loss and pain he experienced came to a head in The Waters of Mars when he snapped. He then went running away from his death after, but since he is the Doctor, of course he had to save his dear friend, but we still saw a bit of the Time Lord Victorious with his 'it's not fair' scene. If that's not compelling character development I don't know what is. Ten ended up a much different person than he started, he was completely broken and it's why he needed to regenerate.
@SephoraNeedSeries8 @TheNightmareChild sees into your soul! @WhoLocked The only two of the moms that I remember being "you have to stay at home" as you say were Jackie and Francine, but Jackie eventually warmed to the idea. It was mostly Martha's mom who was hysterical. Sylvia didn't even seem to know what she was up to to begin with and even when she had a fuller (albeit still incomplete) idea, she didn't seem too bothered by it. Rose having a crush on every male she meets might be a smidge stereotypical, but it didn't bother me too much how it was portrayed in the show. They didn't go overboard with it.
@SephoraNeedSeries8 @WhoLocked For that matter, I don't view flirtiness in a character as inherently problematic anyway as long as that's not their sole defining characteristic. It wasn't for Rose, and it also wasn't for Captain Jack, one of the most beloved characters in the Whoniverse who also happens to be its biggest flirt.

This trinity seeks to advance the cider craft industry through mixing both old and new cider techniques and experimentation. Abita We brew over 151,000 barrels of beer and 9,100 barrels of root beer in our state-of-the-art brewing facility. Our lagers and ales are brewed in small batches, hand-crafted by a team of dedicated workers with only the highest ideals of quality. This pride, along with our brewing process, is what creates our great brews. We are privately owned and operated by local shareholders, many who have been with us since day one. AleSmith Forged in 1995, AleSmith is an artisan microbrewery that specializes in handcrafted ales in a variety of styles. Deeply rooted in the amateur and craft brewing communities, AleSmith ales have continued to garner national and international awards and acclaim, as well as a loyal and rabid following among beer enthusiasts. Amplified Ale Works Amplified Ale Works is a nanobrewery operating at California Kebab & Brewpub, located a stone's throw from the beach in San Diego. Automatic Automatic Brewing Co is anything but automatic. Avery Brewing Co. Since 1993, Avery Brewering Co. has been committed to producing eccentric ales and lagers that defy styles or categories. Our products are thoroughly American at heart: blending Old World tradition and expertise with ingenuity, creativity and boldness. Aztec Brewing We are Aztec Brewing Company. A little bit of nostalgia and a little bit of new life. Although we are working to revive an oldstyle brand, we are also working hard to be conscious of the importance of being green and being natural. We use choice malts and high quality hops. It costs more but you'll agree it's worth it. We want you to be able to savor the flavor before you taste it. Our beers range in flavors mild to strong. The alcohol levels vary too. From a good kick back beer, to a beer that will kick back. Give us a try. Aztec Beer from Aztec Brewing Company. Ballast Point Ballast Point Brewing Company is one of San Diego's Premiere Breweries. We started out modestly as Home Brew Mart in 1992. Powered by a 50 BBL brewhouse, we are now able to satisfy the needs of our growing distribution. Come to both of our breweries and we will gladly give you a tour and allow you to sample our newest selection of beers. Belching Beaver Belching Beaver does not brew good beer. We brew truly great beer. Currently, we are crafting 7 distinct beers that range from pale ale to stout, which are sure to please anyone's tastes. Our first priority is using quality ingredients to create the beer recipes at our microbrewery. When we decided to move forward with the brewery, we told Troy not to worry about how much money we were spending on ingredients. With a name like Belching Beaver, we better have great beer or we would be the biggest joke in town. We contracted our hops before we found a location or even bought equipment. I told Troy that I would throw any beer out and delay opening unless it was perfect. In truth, we had no worries because Troy makes great beer. He did not disappoint! As my wife would say, "It's fabulous." Our customers say, "They're all fabulous." As Dave would say…well he would sniff out each aroma hop, and then describe the grapefruit flavors, the honey overtones and the crisp clean orange peel that delights the palate. I just say, "Man, great beer!" Benchmark Brewing Benchmark Brewing is all about delicious beer, beer that we want to take home and drink. We are not about finding the next huge beer trend, or rare ingredient that can only be sourced in the mountains of Djibouti or the chasms of the Pacific Ocean.

Epic David Cole and Peter Erickson are the founders and co-owners of Epic Brewing Company. Cole and Erickson, originally from California, started an international aquaculture company in Utah in 1992. In 2008, Utah law changed allowing these two entrepreneurs to pursue their longtime dream of opening a strong beer microbrewery in Utah, like those they frequented in the Golden State. Together, they have teamed with Brewmaster Kevin Crompton, formerly from Bohemian Brewery. Crompton has been brewing for more than 20 years (since 1994) and has brewed for three Utah breweries and another in Hawaii.

Given Mr. Firestone's winemaking bias and Mr. Walker's complete lack of fermentation experience, they believed 60-gallon oak barrels were the appropriate vehicle in which to create their perfect elixir.

The original manufacturing facility known as San Diego Brewing Company® opened in 1896 with much fanfare. A. E. Horton, the father of San Diego, referred to the Brewery as the most important industrial enterprise since he founded the town. It was the largest manufacturing enterprise in the county. The brew house held a 25 horse power engine which operated the elevator, barley mill, mash tun and other apparatus. The mash tun could easily give shelter to twenty five men! The brewery's fermenting cellar was filled with great tanks full of amber fluid, foaming and sparkling. The capacity of the plant was 75,000 barrels. San Diego Brewing Company® delivered their product to all parts of the city and county in bottles or in barrels. Their beers were said to "sparkle like nectar". Sadly the company was removed from 32nd Street by the Navy in 1942 and replaced by a base for the Pacific Fleet. Today the new San Diego Brewing Company® hopes to carry on the tradition that was started so long ago. Along with an assortment of fresh beers brewed on the premises, San Diego Brewing Company® offers up to fifty taps of beer every day, providing a brew to satisfy each and everyone. San Marcos Brewery We produce only the finest 'handcrafted ales' from our on-premise micro-brewery & serve each glass fresh from the tap.

Sapporo Sapporo, the oldest beer brand in Japan, was first brewed in Sapporo, Japan in 1876 by the German-trained brewer Seibei Nakagawa. From the beginning, Sapporo was a favorite among beer lovers – a crisp, clean taste they appreciated and an advanced brewing process they respected. Sapporo Premium was brought to the U.S.A in 1964. In 1984, SAPPORO U.S.A., INC. was founded to maintain the high quality and distribution of the brand throughout the country. Thereafter, Sapporo quickly established its status as the #1 selling Asian beer in the United States. Today, three varieties of the brand (Sapporo Premium, Sapporo Reserve, and Sapporo Premium Light) are enjoyed by beer connoisseurs across the country. Shock Top Shock Top is a traditional Belgian-Style wheat ale. It was originally created in 2006 as a seasonal brew under the name Spring Heat Spiced Wheat. After collecting gold in '06 and bronze in '07 in the Belgian White category at the North American Beer Awards, we decided to brew year-round and switch the name to Shock Top. We couldn't be happier with our decision. And the best decision you can make is to try some Shock Top for yourself. Sierra Nevada We set out with a simple goal: brew the beers we wanted to drink. We started small, with a homebrew shop, a love of American hops and plenty of passion. In the process, we changed the beer world forever. Decades later, we're still at it, and the passion burns brighter than ever. Smith & Forge The Leinenkugel Familybrewery was founded in Chippewa Falls, WI, in May 1867 by Jacob Leinenkugel.

The Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens is part of the new $13 million Stone Brewing facility, and specializes in creative preparations of locally grown organic produce and natural meats. For more information visit the Stone website, or give them a call. Thorn Street The location at 3176 Thorn Street was up until early 2012 a local outlet called Home Brews and Gardens. The shop was loved by local patrons but owner Dennis O'Connor realized that he liked making beer a lot more than he did selling supplies to do so. He teamed up with avid home brewers and fellow San Diego natives Dan Carrico and Eric O'Connor to start the project that would transform the former local home brew shop into Thorn Street Brewery. The renovated space has been transformed into a beautiful tasting room with a 7 barrel brew house in a large open naturally lit back room. Local designer Pat Wilkening (Red Craft Custom Design) has been instrumental in the creative development of the property and has created something truly unique in the neighborhood. It is our sincere hope that our hard work will result in a place that you can truly feel cozy and welcome in. Wet N' Reckless Wet 'N Reckless Brewing is the smallest and newest nanobrewery in San Diego. When I say "Our story" what I mean is my story because Wet 'N Reckless is me. My name is Dave and I love beer. I love to drink it and I love to make it. I've been brewing beer at home for 20 years while working as a Biologist, Software Developer, English teacher, amateur fire breather and marriage officiater (not to mention 4 years as a United States Marine- ooh rah!). Early in 2011, I realized that it was actually possible to make my dream come true and open my own brewery. So, here I am. One man. One mission. One brewery. I'm keeping my day job so there's not time for much else besides brewing the beer and serving it, so don't expect a lot of fancy stuff at the brewery. My focus is being able to provide delicious and unusual beers. Nothing else is of importance. When you come to the brewery for a beer you may notice that lots of stuff is home made. I can't afford to spend lots of money on fancy looking stuff. I do everything, including this website, so don't expect much besides some delicious beer and a quaint little place to drink it. It's a matter of priorities, and the beer is my main priority. Would you have it any other way?

Air New Zealand, the country's national carrier, is targeting a return to Singapore with a planned codesharing alliance with Singapore Airlines.
The Auckland-based airline and Asian carrier plan to boost their capacity between New Zealand and Singapore by 30 percent with the tie-up, which will introduce an Auckland-Singapore route for the first time, Air NZ said in a statement. New Zealand's state controlled airline will take over five flights currently operated by Singapore Airlines, who will maintain its daily Singapore-Christchurch service as part of the deal.
"Air New Zealand is on a positive growth trajectory with a clear focus on Pacific Rim destinations," chief executive Chris Luxon said. "An alliance with Singapore Airlines clearly fits our business objectives of working with the right partners in the right markets."
Air New Zealand and Singapore Airlines are both major shareholders in Australia's Virgin Airlines, along with fellow Air NZ partner Etihad Airways.
Singapore Airline passengers will be able to travel across Air New Zealand domestic and select international routes, while customers with Air New Zealand will have access to similar codeshare travel across Singapore Airline's South East Asia, UK, Europe and Africa networks.
The deal is subject to regulatory approvals from the Competition Commission of Singapore and the New Zealand Transport Minister. If the deal gets regulatory approval, flights could start by December this year.
Air NZ shares rose 0.3 percent to $1.695 today.

7 Comments & Questions
Strange new business model. Air NZ essentially becomes a travel agent for code share partners Cathay and now Singapore. Can't be much margin in that, although I concede Air NZ reduces it's risk - better to be partners than competitors with airlines that offer a superior service/product and have more financial muscle.
I fly frequently to Asia and cannot think of a reason why booking flights on another airline through Air New Zealand would add any value to me. The partner airlines' online booking sites are superior to Air New Zealand's and there's no problem booking some flights on one airline and maybe one on Air NZ.
Will be interesting to see how much margin and customer retention accrues to Air NZ from partnerships. Not that Air NZ will easily release that sort of info.
The old saying goes: 'If you can't beat them, join them".
This will not benefit the passenger. Existing Singapore airlines 777 economy class configuration is 3/3/3 ie 9 across the hull. Air NZ are upgrading their 777-200s (which will be the 'new 'planes taking over from the Singapore Airlines aircraft on this route) to match their 777-300s to be 3/4/3 ie 10 across the hull. Result - more cramped seats. In addition there will be 2 fewer toilets than the existing Singapore airline configuration per plane in economy (as per the AirNZ 777-300); this is also a key comfort issue on long haul. We previously used the Singapore airlines service on this leg but will be re-thinking our options to avoid the new AirNZ offering (which will be all about squeezing more out of the economy passenger).
The ridiculous 23 kg luggage limit on economy being the reason I will only fly Air NZ if there is no other option. The real World's Best Airlines are Etihad, Emirates etc.....and they have wider seats, more leg room, infinitely better service, generous alcohol policies (ironically).....and 30 kgs.
Forget 'national' loyalty. You are pledging to short-term managers like Loxon, turbo-milking the financial kitty; green-washing furiously with his Smart Approaches (Dumb Departures); and lunching the head-hunters.
Take the better offerings and the non-stressed flying that comes with 30 kgs and see who buys Air NZ on the inevitable fire-sale in 5 year's time.
Spot on Bertie !
Air NZ is a deceitful company that still cant decide if its a budget or full service and does neither well. The weight limits are ridiculous and the stress it causes a royal pain. Offensive also when a slight woman is harangued and penalised big dollars for a few kilos of excess holiday shopping yet alongside some massive lard arse is double her body weight gets the same luggage allowance.
Used six SIA flights in November/December and sometimes wondered if NZ was the poor relation. A couple of flights on old 777-200s led to this. No doubt that the aircraft used on the Singapore/Dubai runs were superior.
Crowd pleaser's comments have diminished my enthusiasm for the thought of the new configuration. Have just committed to an RTW on Lufthansa and this will involve ANZ aircraft through Honkers and LAX. ANZ's BC on both runs was very good, last time we tried it but the Premium Economy to HK was extremely poor.
Singapore runs 777-300's daily and are configured in my opinion better/as well as their A380's. They also for some strange reason have 777-200's a few times a week in a configuration that is to be avoided if at all possible. Air NZ can prob pick up some business on the times where Sing run the 200's and if Air NZ do a decent job fitting out their new jets they will even have a more modern fleet for the route.
