It's not that easy to come up with Das Kapital in the back of the cab, Glen

I made a list; I like lists:

• Plato's Stepchildren is making me ALMOST CRY. Yeah, TOS's Plato's Stepchildren - no running away till you've heard me out! Channel One, formally Virgin One, is doing a promo for their TOS reruns and they've taken Uhura's speech to Kirk when she's forced to kiss him and OMG, Nichols' delivery is so good which oddly,

That vid was *brilliant*.

And yes, I'm very sad that TTOI never really got the showing it could have had in the US - other than a brief indie run of "In the Loop" in cinemas and on HBO - because it *is* a slice of sweary, cynical, gold. And that's just Peter Capaldi. Will have to read meddow's post, even though I know something about the show through following its fandom's main LJ comm.

I am a bit appalled at myself for never having seen it before. I'm in the right country! It's political comedy! With Peter Capaldi! HOW CAN I NOT HAVE WATCHED THIS? Ahem.

I am trying v hard to save In The Loop for a bit. At least they are making more tToI.

I have seen series, but not film. I should fix that. OMG CAPALDI. Just... I will never look at Local Hero the same way again.

I have been trying to accept that Frobisher and Malcolm Tucker are played by the same actor. IT'S NOT WORKING V WELL.

Getting a smidgen excited about the return of SJA because I saw a wee clip

I just watched it and OMG Skeksis! Skeksis invading Earth! This is v. v. exciting.

[calapine]

I had to LOOK UP Skeksis; the worst thing is I'm almost certain I have The Dark Crystal somewhere cause I vaguely remember it being in a double DVD with Labyrinth.

Skeksis? I thought they were Emus

I saw that crossover vid -- as in, I saw it come up when I youtube-searched something. Didn't know whether to trust it. Yay!

[calapine]

It is V TRUSTWORTHY. If by trustworthy I mean entertaining. Really it's a bit sneaky for making a lovely trailer for a fake show, woes.

I may actually forgive RTD a lot JUST for that comment because I REALLY WANT Jo to have been living an awesome happy life of awesome and so see her having lived it and know stuff. THAT IS WHAT I WANT, DO NOT DISAPPOINT ME, RTD!

And I wish the Beeb would both make that. There was one night where they were filming Sherlock and Doctor Who in the Cardiff museum at the same time, IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE DAMMIT.

It is quite nice really that he will cheerfully RUIN his own characters but other people's are to be played with V CAREFULLY.

I fully approve of your message re: Nichelle Nichols/Uhura who is That Awesome (TM).

[calapine]

Hurrah! She is very good, so she is.
