First, a fanfic link:

Life on Earth is a Dr. Who/Life on Mars crossover with spoilers only for the first season of LoM, but all of DW (i.e. including the s3/29 finale). Ever since ( casting spoiler for s3 of DW )

Real life continues to be very busy, so I bring links:

Five Things Sherlock Holmes Wanted To Say To Irene Adler But Never Did. You know, Irene was THE woman. Dr. Watson said so. Perfect Holmes voice.

Then there's this fantastic fanfic taking on the Life on Mars finale by hmpf; gut wrenching and true.

And after Saturday's Who episode I couldn't ( Read more... )

Um. This one really has me in two minds. I can see why most people on lj squeed about the finale, but I'm afraid I'm more with hmpf who articulated in a brilliant post why I think the show took the easy way out, and fell short of what it could have been.

Something awaiting when I came back from Venice: a great import from Britain. So, the Mancunian cops are back.

( A good thing, I think? )

Firstly, everyone in Britain who gets to see Life on Mars next week? I'm totally envious and casting desperate glances in the direction of my usual source, hmpf.

Secondly: why was I not told? Sylvester McCoy interview, in which it's mentioned he'll play the Fool to Ian McKellen's King Lear when the later goes on tour with the RSC production. Seriously ( Read more... )

My Easter post was already made yesterday, so my continuing quest to stay free of Dr. Who spoilers until some well-meaning person, British, German or otherwise, enables the addict by ahem'ing 2.1 and handing it over is my very first poll. Because for some reason Easter with my family makes me think meta fandom thoughts, when combined with remarks ( Read more... )

So, Life on Mars thoughts, uncut, because there are no spoilers beyond the basic premise of the show, which I want anyone reading this and unfamiliar with it to watch. (Once again, thanks, hmpf!) Firstly, naturally the title had me assuming it would be sci fi and was referring to the red planet; blame my lack of David Bowie knowledge. Eight episodes, ( Read more... )
