For the longest time I didn’t understand what a “podcast” was. Mainly it was that I didn’t (and still don’t) own an iPod, and from the name I assumed it was something that was iPod-specific, a radio program for iPods. Eventually I realized–it’s just an audio file with a fancy name. Usually someone sitting aroundContinue reading “On Doctor Who Podcasts”

On Random Who Quotage
From Bill, via Keith, via others… When you see this post, quote from Doctor Who on your LJ. “I will come back. Yes, I will come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs, and prove to me that I am not mistaken inContinue reading “On Random Who Quotage”
On Whovian Rankings
Because it needs to be done (which in this case means, because Keith did it and that automatically makes it good and worthwhile)… Stolen ruthlessly, here is The Utterly Utterly Accurate And Definitive 21st Century Doctor Who Tiered Rankings, as decided upon by me because my opinion is the only one that matters. :p TheContinue reading “On Whovian Rankings”
On “The Sound of Drums”
Oh. My. God. Oh. My. God. Holy. Fuck. The penultimate episode of Doctor Who‘s third season isn’t perfect. But Holy! Fuck! Three years and two series have been building toward this. You can tell. It started last week, as the threads pulled closer. This week? All bets are off. The sound of drums? It’s theContinue reading “On “The Sound of Drums””
On Losing Geek Cred
I should turn in my Doctor Who Geek Card. I’d forgotten that Graeme Harper was one of the pre-Hartnell Doctors in “Brain of Morbius.” Camfield, Philip Hinchcliffe, Robert Holmes–those are the easy ones. But Harper? I’m not worthy of being a Doctor Who Geek if I can forget that Graeme Harper was a cameo Doctor.Continue reading “On Losing Geek Cred”
On Captain Jack's Secret
Supposedly, the next two episodes of Doctor Who will reveal a shattering secret about Captain Jack Harkness. I put my thinking cap on. Because the theories I’ve heard… well, they’re generally stupid. So, let’s go behind a spoiler cut, shall we? So I can rant about theories in peace, yes?
On a Doctor Who Blurb
Or rather… the Doctor Who blurb. The BBC posted information on the season finale of Doctor Who recently, and fandom’s holding its collective breath. I read the blurb. My first thought, “Wow. That sounds cool!” My second thought? “Wait a second. That sounds like…” Let’s go behind a spoiler/speculation cut.
On Captain Jack Harkness
When last we saw Jack Harkness he’d just gone Gandalf on a Balrog and died, only to return to life after seven days. Then, wandering through the Torchwood Hub, a peculiar wheezing, grinding sound was heard, a wind rushed through the Hub, and Jack Harkness was gone. Tonight, Captain Jack Harkness returns. And there areContinue reading “On Captain Jack Harkness”
On a Crossover I Want To See
I went to the BBC’s website yesterday and downloaded some desktop wallpapers for “Blink,”, this Saturday’s episode of Doctor Who. And I was looking at some of the wallpapers and their depiction of crumbling angelic statues and their blank eyes, the craziest thought came to mind. I want a Doctor Who/Hellboy crossover. Because those statuesContinue reading “On a Crossover I Want To See”
On Someone Who Should Play the Doctor
For some reason I do vocal impressions. Kermit the Frog. George Harrison. John Hurt. No, I have no idea why anyone would ever want, or need, a vocal impression of John Hurt, but if you got the skills… 😆 While driving home from work yesterday evening something on NPR had me thinking of, of allContinue reading “On Someone Who Should Play the Doctor”
