No spoilers here, promise! Based on an explosion of search phrase hits to my website in the past hour, I have a fairly good idea of how “The Stolen Earth,” the penultimate episode of Doctor Who‘s fourth season, ended. (Being in the United States, I won’t have seen it just yet.) Who’d have thought thatContinue reading “On “The Stolen Earth” and Search Phrases”

On Reviews
Reviews of Doctor Who: Short Trips: The Quality of Leadership have begun to turn up, and I’ve been remiss in linking to them. Unreality SF, a UK-based review site, has two reviews of the book. One is by Dan, the other by Jens. Both reviews break the anthology down story by story, and both provideContinue reading “On Reviews”
On Gallifreyan Fob Watches
Scouring the wilds of the Internet, I came across this: The Doctor’s fob watch! From “Human Nature” and “The Family of Blood”! Supposedly, it even works. No, you’re not going to be able to store your soul in it, but there’s an actual watch mechanism inside. Despite not normally wearing a watch, I sort ofContinue reading “On Gallifreyan Fob Watches”
On Literary Musings
I’m always a few days behind on Doctor Who. It can’t be helped, really. And me, being me, I knew a fair little bit about Dr. River Song long before I’d gotten around to finally seeing “Silence in the Library.” And what I’d heard and read made me think of a single thing — TheContinue reading “On Literary Musings”
On Sad Dreams
I remember one of my dreams from last night. It was so vivid, and I was so happy in the dream… …and now, when thinking about it, the dream only makes me sad. I was in a store. I was looking at their DVD section. And they had Doctor Who‘s “Evil of the Daleks” onContinue reading “On Sad Dreams”
On Geeking Out
I had two packages waiting for me at home when I got home from work last night. One was from WhoNA. The other, a surprise, was from the UK. I’d received my contributor’s copy of Doctor Who: Short Trips: The Quality of Leadership. And, because I’d ordered one from WhoNA earlier in the week, thinkingContinue reading “On Geeking Out”
On Mid-Week Reflections
Why must it be dreary? Rain today. Rain yesterday. Rain Sunday. Rain, rain, rain. And no thundrous drumming from Ringo Starr, either. Rain. Doctor Who‘s fourth season has begun. Thankfully, it began with something light and fluffy. After wrecking on the emotional shoals from Torchwood‘s “Exit Wounds,” the screwball comedy nature of Who‘s “Partners inContinue reading “On Mid-Week Reflections”
On March’s Greatest Hits
I haven’t done a search phrase round-up in a while. Let’s take a look at the top 20 of March. 🙂 20. “Jason Gronberg.” A friend of mine. He passed away in November. One of my favorite memories of Jason. 19. “Napoleon.” One of my favorite sparring partners in Age of Empires III. Except forContinue reading “On March’s Greatest Hits”
On Doctor Who Viewing
Last night BBC America showed the third season Doctor Who two-parter, “Human Nature”/”Family of Blood,” in a two-hour long block. If you missed it last night and you have BBC America, have no fear — they’re repeating it again this afternoon. Watching the two-parter in a single sitting last night, it occurred to me howContinue reading “On Doctor Who Viewing”
On a Week-End Round-Up
Today’s recap of last week’s blog posts may be less than enthralling. To be frank, I didn’t write a hell of a lot worth noticing last week. Last week was what I affectionately like to call “Hell Week” — it’s the week at work where the publications I work on and am responsible for goContinue reading “On a Week-End Round-Up”
