I should be worried. I knew the two baseball teams in Gotham City without having to look it up. I even knew which league each team is in. (For those of you wondering, Gotham City hosts the Monarchs, of the National League, and the Knights, of the American League. The Monarchs replaced the Griffins, whoContinue reading “Stones and Glass”

Triple threat
Brad Willis suggested a Doctor Who story challenge in alt.drwho.creative a few days ago–take the Doctor Who characters from seasons 18 to 21 and do a “what if” to them and see where the story takes you. I don’t know how I got this idea. I don’t know what it amuses me so much. ButContinue reading “Triple threat”
On Doctor Who: Neverland
Today I finally finished listening to Neverland. I received …ish earlier in the week (in short–excellent, very strange, and no other Doctor than Colin Baker could have done this story), and then gave Neverland another go. Oh my fucking god. I think I uttered that immortal phrase about six or seven times during the story.Continue reading “On Doctor Who: Neverland”
Not coming soon to a bookstore near you, Part II
A book I would like to read but will never be published:
Ewoks! Exterminate!
Is it truly wrong to hate the Ewoks? Everyone knows the Ewoks. Those cute, cuddly, walking teddy bears that populated the last half of Return of the Jedi. In a series of films about the fate of the universe and the titanic struggle between the forces of good and evil, the Ewoks seemed curiously out-of-place.Continue reading “Ewoks! Exterminate!”
Who should be Who?
Being a Doctor Who fan in these Wholess times is both a blessing and a curse. A blessing in the sense that Who fans are, at this point in time, being so long without the real deal, so to speak, the devoted, the true fans. A curse in the sense that every little rumor getsContinue reading “Who should be Who?”
On Deep Space Nine's Tenth Anniversary
Marco gave us all a pleasant surprise with these announcements: 1. The mass-market edition of THE LIVES OF DAX (originally published as a trade paperback in 1999), which will be reprinted under the new DS9 logo, identifying it as part of the relaunch. To everyone who hasn’t read The Lives of Dax yet, buy itContinue reading “On Deep Space Nine's Tenth Anniversary”
On the Christmas Round-Up
Ah, Christmas. It’s over. I think I can breathe now. What an incredible Christmas! At Electronics Boutique, we would do as much in a single day as Payless would do in an entire week. There were moments of extreme insanity. I know people keep talking about the terrible recession we’ve found ourselves in, but IContinue reading “On the Christmas Round-Up”
Douglas Adams
Douglas Adams. I was going to write. Didn’t happen. So, now it’s after work, and I’ve had some time to think about things, about who Douglas Adams was and what his work meant to me. Good things. I’m not sure if I’m shocked or if I’m sad because I’m honestly both. Woke up this morning,Continue reading “Douglas Adams”
On Who Should Play Who
Who would make a good Doctor Who? I’ve been giving it some thought, and there are some people I think would make a good television Doctor and some people who would make a good film Doctor, and the lists don’t really cross. I’ll leave aside Paul McGann. I would love to see McGann have anotherContinue reading “On Who Should Play Who”
