A Freema Ageyman website posted the Torchwood Season 2 trailer. I watched that this morning, and what can I say? I’m majorly excited. 🙂 There’s very little of Martha Jones in the trailer, but that’s understandable. The trailer was cut for BBC America, and BBC America has yet to show the third season of DoctorContinue reading “On the Torchwood Trailer and Assorted Thoughts”

On Nerd-dom
So, there I was, writing a Doctor Who product description for the next catalog, and I typed “Moxx of Bollhoon.” And I knew, as soon as I typed it, that it was wrong. Oh, “Moxx” was right, but I knew I’d mangled “Bollhoon.” I’d mangled an alien name. I was in the right ballpark, IContinue reading “On Nerd-dom”
On Doctor Who: “Time-Crash”
Last night, on the BBC’s Children in Need special, Doctor Who fans were treated to something fun — a two Doctors story, starring David Tennant and Peter Davison. It hardly seems worthy of review; it’s eight minutes long and takes place entirely within the confines of the TARDIS control room. Yet, two TARDISes have mergedContinue reading “On Doctor Who: “Time-Crash””
On Two Doctors
The Fifth Doctor. The Tenth Doctor. Steven Moffat. Children In Need. The Fifth Doctor! The Tenth Doctor! Children in Need! Two! Doctors! 😀 David Tennant’s Tenth Doctor is set to meet Peter Davison’s Fifth Doctor in a special scene commissioned for BBC One’s Children in Need. The scene, entitled Time Crash, was written by awardContinue reading “On Two Doctors”
On Tonight’s Discovery
I’ve just discovered. If I stick my tongue on my Talking Dalek Bottle Opener, much as I would stick my tongue on a 9-volt, the Dalek says, “Exterminate!” I’m not sure anyone wants anything shouting “Exterminate!” that close to your face, but there it is. My discovery of the day! I can work the bottleContinue reading “On Tonight’s Discovery”
On Torchwood’s American Debut
Tonight. Nine o’clock. BBC America. Torchwood. The adult-themed Doctor Who spin-off debuts on BBC America. But honestly, it’s more like Angel meets Homicide than anything Doctor Who. Seriously. Check Doctor Who at the door, because if that’s what you expect, then you’re in the wrong place. If you want a secret government agency tracking downContinue reading “On Torchwood’s American Debut”
On Rumored Doctor Who Casting
If you choose to believe The Sun — which, like a stopped clock, is right only twice a day — there’s an exciting bit of Doctor Who casting coming up in the next season.
On Sarah Jane Audios
I’d heard rumors on Outpost Gallifrey a few months ago about these, but I learned just today what they are. There’s going to be a series of Sarah Jane Adventures audio adventures. At least two are being written by Justin Richards. These will be, as near as I can tell, different from the series ofContinue reading “On Sarah Jane Audios”
On Torchwood’s Second Season
The BBC issued a press release yesterday with information on Torchwood‘s second season. There’s not a lot that’s really new in it. The season’s major guest stars, really. A little bit about the role Martha Jones will play in the series. And the cast photo above. It’s going to be fab. 🙂
On Weird Fandom Questions
Stolen from novelist David McIntee: Name six of your fandoms without looking below the cut, then answer the questions. Okie-day! I’m interpretting “fandom” broadly—I like bands, I like books, I like television shows. So, broad definitions here. My six are: Hellboy The Beatles Doctor Who The Lord of the Rings Star Trek Boston Legal AndContinue reading “On Weird Fandom Questions”
