For the record, about the only thing that could make "Voyage of the Damned" even more boring is watching it on SciFi with 90 million commercials. But at least every now and then I can look up from the fic I'm working on in the background, or the calufrax recs I'm starting to write up, and go "Oh, look, the pretty man is on TV."

I was amused by "Voyage of the Damned", actually. The Poseidon Adventure in space!!

I think it would have been fine if it had been about 15 minutes shorter and Tennant and Minogue had any chemistry whatsoever. Seriously, it takes effort not to have chemistry with that man, but somehow Kylie managed it. (Actually, I suppose I should blame RTD for writing such a bland, stock character, but I don't think Kylie's limited acting range helped.)

I suspect that my extreme amusement is partly an age thing. "The Poseidon Adventure" was a fixture of my formative years. And I don't know how old RTD is, but looking at him I'd guess he's closer to my age than yours.

Maybe that's it. IMDB says Davies was born in 1963; I was born in 1970, so yeah, he's closer to your age than mine.
