   Maybe I was a bit over-harsh in my comments.  It's just I find horror   
   stories so gloomy and depressing and, worse, so stupid which is the   
   worst thing a story can be.  I hate this this time of year, with all   
   the Halloween stuff around, and I over-reacted by venting all my anger   
   on you.  I'm sorry.   
      
   So, in an effort to find something good and positive about   
   "Pyramids"... at least it doesn't have River Song in it!  And despite   
   the horror influence, there are no vampires, which is nice.
