No time to chat, morning is kicking my ass once more. Going to stop by the theatre on my lunch break to pick up Skyfall tickets so I should be able to make it after I get off. CRAZY EXCITED, YO.

Your away party consists of your Science Officer and your Medical Officer. I'd keep an eye on the latter.


You choose a location within what ought to be one of the planet's main population centres. You select two crew members to accompany you to the planet's surface and the three of you beam down. When you re-materialize, you are in a deserted street. There is a ghostly silence about you and the vehicles lying derelict by the side of the road appear to be from quite an advanced civilization, but dust is thick on everything, as if there has been no activity here for many years. Cautiously, you walk down the street. As you approach a junction at the end of the street, you hear a noise and stop. The others look at you quizzically, and listen... but they can hear nothing. You creep forwards towards the corner and jump back sharply as a shape appears.

'Visitors!' says a voice. The creature is roughtly man-sized and wears a flowing white cape. 'We have not had visitors for many years.' You explain you are from another planet and the alien nods its hairy head. You ask whether it is possible to meet someone in a position of authority, and the creature considers for a moment.

Suddenly you hear a small click and a shrill buzzing noise, and the alien drops to the ground, scorched by a phaser blast from one of your party. You whirl round in disbelief. The attacker looks proudly at the dead alien and you order your other companion to hold him. Snatching his weapon, you demand to know why he fired at the alien. 'Why?' he gasps. 'If I hadn't fired he would have killed you! Did you not see the weapon in his hand aimed at you?' You certainly didn't see a weapon in the alien's hand, and neither did your other crew member.

So, I saw Skyfall and I had feelings and I am going to write about them now. This is probably not the best time to do so, since I only just got back and have not organized my thoughts and so one long keysmash would probably say the exact thing with a lot less effort, but I need to get my squee out somewhere, so.

I was really, really worried going in that I'd overhyped myself. I didn't go in knowing much more than 'people liked it' but I've been marathoning Bond films since the beginning of the month in anticipation and I hyped myself to high heaven and even if it was great, which I was expecting it to be, there would still have to be at least a bit of a comedown because holy shit, was I amped. And then it FUCKIN' BLEW ME AWAY, YOU GUYS.

Spoilers, gosh.

Face it all together... )
