Two things:

A) Car-pooling with your wife may save on gas, but it sucks when you're sick and want to go home.

B) Andrew Rilston really hates NuWho. I mean REALLY. More than pyat and Steven Barringer squished together in some sort of amalgamated Who Hating Monster.

edit: Bi) andrewhickey also seems to dislike it, but they may be, just like Andrew, very cleverly likeing it.

I don't hate NuWho! I hate Aliens!

Once one gets past the foolish notion that Cameron's "Aliens" is the best exemplar of the franchise, things get a lot better... 8)

Well, I don't even hate Aliens, but I've built up a reputation as doing so.

Seriously, Fischer's Alien3 blew it out of the water.

FIncher's "Alien 3" is my favourite of the three, because it has a real, human connection to its characters that is almost entirely absent from Scott's original (not a tremendous surprise from Scott's style of film-making, really). In retrospect, I even prefer Jeunet's fourth to Cameron's second.

That's not to say Cameron's is a bad film; I don't think it is. But I think all the other three have qualities that have more legs than Cameron's, which, in the end, is all about the military bravado, the 'splosions, and the glossy grandeur of it all.

I've fallen into a bizarro-world where suddenly everyone agrees with me about Aliens.
