two beavers are better than oneeee
I. Just watched last night's HIMYM, LOL Robin Sparkles. Omg SPACE TEENS solving crimes using math is genuinely something that would have been a kids show in the 90s, though presumably with less porn undertones. It would be on YTV. Oh Robin Sparkles. Internet, I expect gifs of the Canadiana parade at the end there.
lol the Lily pregnancy thing. I would be ready to kill her if I was Robin too. LOL There's this scene where they're talking to Glitter at the game (LOL YESS @ organist for the Rangers) and someone with dark hair walks by the doorway, visibly, so I was waiting for Robin to be all "I KNOW! I WAS LISTENING OUTSIDE THE DOOR" in one of those HIMYM-style retcons, but... nope. Oh well I accept all uses of the Hoser Hut.
I am glad this show is finding its footing again... though I thought the beginning of s5 was good too, and look how that ended. ALSO I guess this solves the mystery of whose wedding it will be in the series finale? Unless that is a curve ball, but probably not.
II. So a Radio Times poll named Rose as the most popular companion. That sound you hear is a thousand fanboys crying, but basically:
Naturally the first comment on the doctorwho post was "IF ROSE WON I'LL PUNCH MYSELF IN THE FACE". Hahahaha. W/e, haters gonna hate, etc. The remaining top 5 were Sarah Jane, Donna, K-9 (wtf) and Amy, in that order. Martha Jones was 11th which I find upsetting, though replace K-9 with Martha and the top 5 is good by me. Full results (all 40-something) are here if anyone cares and hasn't seen it yet.
III. Speaking of Amy Pond, Karen Gillan is going to be in some hilarious Shakespeare teen movie with some guy from Misfits and Dana Scully:
The actress has been cast as a New Jersey high-schooler who gets sent back in time to 13th century Verona and finds herself trapped in Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet.
Gillian Anderson will play Gillan's mother and a nurse in Verona, while Misfits actor Robert Sheehan is the school nerd who becomes Brittney's Romeo.
NGL my primary questions right now are a) does that mean she is done after s6? and b) but how does her accent compare to David Tennant's? shinyopals, clearly the time is ripe for our movie.
I will say though that I always sort of laugh when people are morally outraged by Shakespeare adaptations like this. I'm not saying this movie is necessarily going to be any good, but if he is rolling in his grave it is with laughter and not outrage.
IV. Aaaand rounding things off with a meme:
Give me a character/pairing from a fandom and I'll tell you
* why I love them
* my favourite moment
* my favourite quote
* my select song for this character/pairing (lol pre-emptively reserving the right to skip this one)
* my head canon for this character/pairing
