Oh, please.
Sep. 19th, 2006 11:48 amRTD: Alien planets are "too expensive."
And a Slitheen ship crashing into Big Ben isn't? Or a massive CGI wereworlf? Or the sun blowing up and incinerating the Earth? I'm sorry, that doesn't fly. Try again.
P.S. Avast, me hearties! *walks around with peg leg and parrot*

What, so one or two establishing shots of a planet or a city are so damned expensive? Funny how the classic series managed to do alien planets on a regular basis, even though it had a crap budget. And as you point out, it's not like they haven't done plenty of other pricey stuff.
GAH. I am really starting to dislike you, Rusty.

(No, really. An "overeducated and underemployed" retail clerk, Jaye, gets hit on the head and then inanimate objects start telling her to help people. She's not too happy about it. Brilliant TV, similar in execution to and by the same guy who does Dead Like Me.)
