- Ugh, is it November yet? Honestly, Facebook for me is becoming what the HP Fandom was in the fall of 2004. A really uncomfortable place to be, and you wish there was a way to just filter out all the political stuff so that you could still be friends with your friends. Or still look your family members in the face at Thanksgiving. (While I'd love ( Read more... )

There are a lot of things worth discussing and squeeing about with regards to last night's Doctor Who premiere. But one thing I especially geeked out over was the return of the nanogenes, calling back to Moffat's first DW episode "The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances."

I cannot WAIT for next week! Arthur Weasley! Filch! Lestrade looking like some ( Read more... )

I just had to link these, because they made my day. Doctor Who opening credits, by way of...

Dynasty (LOL love the "soap opera" touch of including the Doctor's daughter),
Dallas (my personal fave, mostly because it includes pretty much everyone - oh, and I heart Dallas),
Friends ("Featuring 'The TARDIS'"),
and The Odd Couple (inspired by "The ( Read more... )

Last week my MagSafe adapter for my Mac died. *sadface* So I bought a new one ($79 - ouch!) and it worked at first, then it didn't. I changed outlets, rebooted, etc. but still nothing. So I exchanged it for another, thinking it was just defective, but the new one didn't work either. So I made an appointment with a "Genius" at the UWS Apple ( Read more... )

I quite liked Saturday's Who, and even watched a couple of themey movies afterwards. Nightmare on Elm Street was a rewatch and wonderful as always, but Dolls was new (to me) and RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME. Killer dolls with tiny knives and saws brutally murdering jerky adults - WINTASTIC ( Read more... )

OMG New Who!

I had to wait TWO WHOLE DAYS! :P BBC America was running all the S6 eps so far, plus a bunch of the "best of" shows (WHY are all those Whovians third-rate American celebs?!). It's weird watching it on actual tellie with commercial breaks (and ugh, the weird Amy voice-over intro that reminds me of early run Buffy). I also don't like ( Read more... )

Okay, so last time we talked, where was I? Ah yes, end of Series 5. ( Spoilers, naturalmente. )

Finished with Series 5 now, and as I wait for the Series 6 to download from iTunes, I need to give a shout-out to what may prove to be my favorite Doctor Who episode and one of my favorite hours of television, period. If you've never watched an episode of the show, I'd highly recommend Vincent and the Doctor as a one-off. It's on Netflix Instant ( Read more... )

So, um, a few weeks ago I decided I was going to try to catch up with ALL of the new Doctor Who series (or "NuWho" as I'm learning to call it) before the new episodes start on the 27th (or whenever us non-Brits get them). I am a hop and a skip into Series 5 now (through "Flesh and Stone" as of this morning) and it looks like I'm going to make it.
