Torchwood, Doctor Who and Merlin news, Star Trek meta, and a poll re. ST:TOS rewatch fun

[such_heights]

I am full of cold and thus good for nothing apart from drinking liquid fruit (I'd say juice, but that would be doing Innocent smoothies a real disservice, mmm), and clicking idly through fandom. Here, let me throw links at you!

Okay, the Doctor's new companion? Absolutely adorable. And ginger! And adorable. I love her already. I don't care if that makes me shallow either :D She has a very sweet face.

Also: Mackenzie Crook! On Merlin! I did a squirm of glee, because that can't not be awesome.

Doesn't she look lovely? Hurray!

I totally did a little Mackenzie Crook dance as well, that is very exciting.

New companion is gorgeous I like her!

[such_heights]

Isn't she just? :D

And I'm aware that I'm as shallow as a particularly shallow puddle. :D

Well you already know my feelings about new companion - they are all shallow and delighted feelings. Also Merlin - squee. And meta squee. And Star Trek squee (so much love for this at the moment and for the fandom and ridiculous crushes on all the actors - I'm fitting a cinema rewatch in this weekend).

Also I'd definitely be interested in a Star Trek rewatch (or in my case mostly first watch) - so count me in. And, out of interest, any suggestions where a reawakened Trekkie might be able to download episodes less than legally? Thought you might have some ideas and I already have a massive list of episodes I want to track down.

I've been toying over the Who rewatch idea as well recently, trying to work out how best to make it work.

Also, if you could point me in the direction of a dreamwidth account, would be appreciated.

loves you

Also - meant to say that also massive Torchwood squee - because Children of Earth is looking awesome and yet also filling me with massive trepidation, because it's all so dark. *meep* Please to not be hurting my team.

All of TOS is available to stream on YouTube - if you're after downloadable copies/other series, email me and we'll chat. ;)

Still v. in favour of a Who rewatch, that would be delightful. And a Dreamwidth invite is on its way!

[such_heights]

Oh, absolutely -- I'm curious as to whether any of the other New Who characters will stick around in any capacity, especially if SJA and Torchwood are ongoing. We shall see!

Yay for awesome together-ish fannishness. I love when we all go squee over the same things. Merlin, Whoniverse, Star Trek...

*eeep*

I love and adore ST: TOS so much, and as a public service feel I ought to state that, incidentally, ALL the original eps are available for free on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/show/startrek

(At least in the U.S. ... try it out for me, and tell me if it's true for you too?)

[such_heights]

Hurray! And thanks so much for that YouTube link, it looks like it's working beautifully so I'll spread it around. :D
