Is This Planet Protected?

The new season of Doctor Who began today with a very triumphant debut of the Eleventh Doctor. There is a definite shift in tone from the previous series (or non-series as it was), and I think this is exactly the episode to reset with. The introduction of Amy Pond was the best companion beginning yet, and I already love her. The rest of the plot didn’t really blow my mind, but the nod to the previous Doctors was glorious and brought out an actual cheer. I think Eleven is a very capable incarnation and I look forward to seeing him in action week after week.

I’m already re-watching because I let a lot of information slip past me the first time. I also want to compile a list of “clues” to watch for as the series progresses because I think there will be quite the payoff with this writing team. For instance, there is a blue lens flare that lingers for a considerable amount of time when there is no known source of light for that scene. Hmmmm. I’m also curious about the possible significance of the “Myth” laptop. Each of those things may be inconsequential, of course, or they could be related to the coming Silence. Who knows?

Who knows, indeed!! *ahem*

  1. Hey! Someone in my Facebook group shared this website with us
    so I came to check it out. I’m definitely loving
    the information. I’m bookmarking and will be
    tweeting this to my followers! Outstanding blog and amazing style
    and design.

  2. Australian politicians are almost always opting to fly with
    Qantas on taxpayer-funded trips, despite Virgin offering cheaper tickets.

    Federal MPs flew with the national carrier for 80 per cent of work trips last year despite it not always being the
    cheapest route, according to travel data provided to the government.

    While politicians and their staffers are required to book the cheapest flight,
    it also has to be the most efficient, with Qantas
    offering the most routes between major cities.

    MPs are banned from accruing frequent flyer points on taxpayer-funded trips
    like ordinary Aussies can, but they can can receive lifetime status credits, which allows
    access to airport lounges and flight upgrades.

    ‘How else can one explain the extraordinary dominance of Qantas in securing bookings by parliamentarians and their staff?’ Myriam
    Robin wrote in an opinion piece for the Australian Financial Review.

    ‘There’s nothing like accruing status credits on someone else’s dime.’

    Transport Minister Catherine King has since committed to
    a review of flight bookings by government officials which
    will be conducted by the Department of Finance this year, despite
    there being just two months left of 2024.

    Politicians’ preference for Qantas may also be put down to
    the airline’s exclusive invite-only ‘Chairman’s Lounge’.

    EXCLUSIVE

    The Flying Kanga-RORT – why you’re footing the bill as airlines wine and dine pollies in VIP club

    Daily Mail Australia in August revealed that nearly every single federal
    politician in the country has accepted free membership of the club.

    Qantas and the Albanese government have both denied the
    airline enjoys any disproportionate level of influence over the country’s political classes.

    A Daily Mail Australia audit of the members’ interest registers – in both the House of Representatives and the Senate –
    revealed almost 93 per cent of the nation’s leaders have been ‘gifted’ membership to the lavish, all-inclusive lounge.

    The high profile ranks of government giftees include
    Prime Minister Anthony Albanese as well as every member
    of his 22-person Cabinet, his seven-person Outer Ministry
    and all 12 assistant ministers.

    While most politicians declared their Qantas’ privileges as a ‘gift’, Labor
    MP Marion Scrymgour listed her membership as her ‘Chairman Lounge entitlement’.

    Daily Mail Australia in August revealed that nearly every
    single federal politician in the country has accepted free membership of Qantas’ exclusive Chairman’s Lounge.

    And it’s not just politicians on the take, with more than 60 MPs – including Marles, Chalmers, King, Bill
    Shorten, Zali Steggall and Tanya Plibersek – disclosing
    their spouses have also been granted unfettered, independent access to Qantas’ luxurious members only lounge.

    Often touted as ‘the most exclusive club in the country’,
    membership to the Chairman’s Lounge has long been veiled
    in secrecy.

    Even the entrances to each of the country’s six opulent VIP clubs – in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide,
    Canberra and Perth airports – are suitably discreet.

    Though, once inside, the designer lounges are immediately more ostentatious, with
    free à la carte fine dining, table service, a decadent selection of wines and Champagne and a
    discreet army of dedicated lounge attendants.

    Membership to the club is ‘priceless’ – it cannot be bought for any
    amount of money nor obtained via any amount of frequent flyers points.

    Instead, each member is hand-picked and approved by the company’s chief executive
    and chairman.
