Kylie Minogue will be guest-starring in the 2007 Doctor Who Christmas special. Reports say that she will be portraying a Cyberman. Minogue has been a known Doctor Who fan for a long time.

On "Gridlock"
About a year ago when the new Doctor Who‘s second season began a frequent chorus was heard in online fandom–“David Tennant is good, but I can’t help but wonder how Christopher Eccleston would have been.” Tennant seemed traditionally Doctorish, while Eccleston’s performance was something else, like a force of nature. Eventually the chorus died downContinue reading “On "Gridlock"”
On Experiencing Torchwood
Thanks to the kindness of beagles I’ve been watching this weekend the first season of Torchwood. For some readers Torchwood is an old hat. For other readers, unfamiliar with the program here’s a quick summary.

On Automatic Silliness
I saw this on several friends’ LiveJournals: a short story generator. Most everyone used it to create bad Star Trek fanfic, but I decided to be different. I’d create Doctor Who fanfic.

On Total Nerd-dom
Firebox is selling a USB hub shaped like the TARDIS. According to this article at The Register the TARDIS USB hub “not only flashes its light and blares out the time-space craft’s famous ripping-a-hole-in-reality take-off sound.” I don’t need a USB hub–I have one, and I’ve never used it, except for one day where IContinue reading “On Total Nerd-dom”

On Taking Deep Breaths
I will not get medieval on someone’s ass. I will not get medieval on someone’s ass. I will not get medieval on someone’s ass. I am tired of people who think Doctor Who is a series about Rose. Excuse me, but Doctor Who survived a long damn time before Rose Tyler, and it’s going toContinue reading “On Taking Deep Breaths”
