don't speak to the clown
My laptop broke (AGAIN, it is the SAME PROBLEM even, yuck) and I lost all my tabs, so there are a bunch of lovely things I was either going flail about or go yay at that I can't really remember and it is TRAGICAL. (Mostly I am arg at losing the Not Too Far From Finished Camelot vid, but apart from that it is basically fine. Everything I actually need on that computer is also somewhere else now for I have finally learned the lesson of "back-up, you fool!"
But then there was the new trailer for Doctor Who and that was great. The link has both the second half o' the season trailer and a trailer for episode eleven. My reaction is mostly OMG IS RIVER SONG MADAME KOVARIAN WTF? Omg, Amy ILU, "don't talk to the clown" indeed, and episode eleven seems to be pleasingly riffing a bit off The Shining. Ooh, also Matt Smith walks down a corridor a bit that that is just smashing, also he has a top hat and cane. He should have that all the time. Interwebs say lovely Doctor Who is back on the 27th of August which is GREAT because that is Quite Close.
Also, Leela action figure! I am mostly of the yay, with a sideorder of eyeroll at Yet Another Hinchcliffe Era Release plus a smidgen of bitter than they are FAILING at releasing any of my favourite companions. But mostly IT IS GOOD.
And the Beeb is making a classic Doctor Who novel release. Which I hope is less of a one-off and more a Sign of Things To Come. Judgey as I am at the NAs and mostly bored at the EDAs (though, to be fair, I didn't make it very far at all with those) I did generally enjoy the past Doctor stuff. Definitely more hit than miss for me, anyway. And it's written by Alastair Reynolds who wrote Revelation Space, which I constantly get confused with Hyperion, but never mind I love them both.
Have seen Torchwood up to episode two only, since I am watching it on the Beeb and being lawful good, the most tedious of all alignments, and not downloading. I do like it, kind of a lot. Mostly this is down to Gwen. She made BRILLIANT FACES in episode two. And I do like that RTD seems quite determined to remember that half the population is women and is so very easily two for two on Bechdel passing. Vera is Quite Good, but Rex is my favourite of the new dudes. Actor dude I've seen on other American telly, and he is rather smashing and charismatic and none too tricksy to look at. And Vera walked into a room and said "you are My Team now, time to Do Team Things" and I really don't care that the whole Make A Thing On The Aeroplane was ridic and had a tetchy relationship with Actual Science, for I was entertained and I love Eve Myles.
