If you date a werewolf, you have to pay and pay and PAY...
I went to the premiere of the Indiana Jones movie with mulberryfields, who likes Discworld a lot more than I do. I said that I like Carrot because (except for being tall) he reminds me of Simon.
Blakes7 fun fact: Paul Darrow played Vimes in a stage version of "Guards, Guards."
Mort? I loved him. He sang opera to the corpses and everything. Someone has a great icon of him waving, the plastic glove only sort of on his hand, saying "bye-bye boys" I love it.
She's not super ruthless, but neither is Vetinari, but she gets VERY upset when things go wrong or make her look bad.
OMG I LOVE THE BRITISH SO MUCH. Even the newsreaders got in on it! And the Blue Peter dog had a wig! and the squeaking puppet almost made me choke, but then there was Stephen Fry shaking his drink shaker in time and that really made me choke. This is getting bookmarked for anytime I'm feeling bad.
Will comment on the Who stuff when I've started my supper!
ETA: Athough at the end Whatsisname was real after all, so maybe Donna will meet him and she'll survive somehow and there'll be a happy ending.I was left with that impression of a possibility. There's also been Martha saying to Donna that eventually you get tired of traveling with the Doctor, and of course Donna couldn't imagine that then, but now that she's had this intense connection with Whatshisname and tasted the family she might have (I don't mean that in the Silence of the Lambs way it sounds) she might be more likely to come to that conclusion. I still don't know what's "on [her] back" though, which worries me. I'll just be shocked if she dies. Despite all the foreshadowing
( ... )
Well, true that the foreshadowing is really blatant, and possibly they've learned something since they did the blatant foreshadowing-thing with Rose.
But possibly not! The only thing that would reassure me is if RTD came out and agreed that yes, Donna is definitely going to die, because I have learned that every word that comes out of that man's mouth is a LIE.
I *want* to believe that they just wouldn't be so dull as to kill an important person in the season finale FOUR SEASONS IN A ROW. I know a wiser person would see that as a pattern and expect it. ::whimper::
OMG, I had to go back and check if that was really Robbie Coltrane headbanging in the one shot (I think it was).
That's especially funny since I was just talking to Rusty about how Red Nose Day/Comic Relief, Children in Need and the like have given me a great appreciation for how the Brits do charity. I wanna run away from home and work for the Beeb.
The British do Good Works with silliness and exuberance. The Americans--the celebrities, anyway--do their Good Words with congratulatory self-righteousness and not the slightest bit of humor.

ummm... let's see there's Frannie, Elaine, Insp. Thatcher, Buck Frobisher, oh, and who was the Coroner guy?
Ventanari (whom I know I'm misspelling) is sort of like Thatcher- Yes, yes, that's nice, now get the job done please.

And I did have the Thatcher=Vetinari connection, but then I thought, nah, she's not ruthless enough. But maybe she is...?

*nods enthusiastically* Definitely!
Reg Shoe=Dead!Bob. Why should a little thing like death stand in the way of giving the living unwanted advice?
About wet myself laughing XD True, so true.
And of course the image of Sybil = either Ray is side-splittingly funny.
