One fat geek's SUCCESSFUL attempt to regenerate into a not-so-fat geek by watching the entirety of Doctor Who while walking on a treadmill

Well, you can hurt him a little, but not the face.

Well, you can hurt him a little, but not the face.

I'm not going to expend much energy on this post, because this episode surely doesn't deserve it.

Miracle Day: Dead of Night

(TARDIS Data Core recap)

Turns out a pharmaceutical company named Phicorp clearly knew about the Miracle in advance, because for at least the past year they have been stockpiling pain meds. Jack takes time off from saving the world to go get drunk at a gay bar, pick up the bartender, and get a blowjob. Rex takes time off from saving the world to go have sex with his doctor lady friend. Gwen skypes with Rhys and their daughter Anwyn. Pedophile murderer Oswald Danes hits the television interview circuit and becomes a hit with the evangelicals, because if there is one thing that evangelicals love and support it is pussy-grabbing narcissistic liars.

Did I miss anything? I doubt it. I stopped caring before I even started watching. Sara Jane Smith can't get here soon enough.

Oh, also: I weighed in at under 260 for the second day in a row. So at least there was one positive.

Good point. Perhaps, after I finish Blake's 7 and Sapphire & Steele, I should start a grand re-watch and dig back into the b&w era.

Regards the first year weight loss, could the science be that early Doctor Who was more conducive to weight loss than when it went color??? Could color TV be the problem?
