Mostly Harmless

The closest thing to NA Seventh Doc we've had in all of Tennant's portrayal, and then he goes and crosses the line Sly never did....

So it looks like the last two I'll be seeing directly from auntie herself. ;)

Whose seen it?!

Boogedy-Boogedy-Boo!

Couldn't get to my friends page because the trailer I posted last week was covering the button. So, needed a post to scroll it down. Plus, I found this online, and love this series and it's music. So, have some Poirot theme. ;)

It's about Hypatia, perhaps the greatest woman in history. She was a renowned scholar attempting to hold back the tides of ignorance and chaos at the fall of classical civilization in Alexandria. Carl Sagan called her the last Librarian at the great Library of Alexandria, and linked her death with it's destruction in his "Cosmos" series. For certain, at a time when Christianity sought to forcibly curtail knowledge and cast civilization into the dark ages of learning that were coming, Hypatia was one of the only people brave enough to stand in it's path. She was murdered by a mob for her convictions.

I'm terribly depressed having seen the last two episodes tonight. I mean, it was bloody well fantastic, but so fucking gut wrenching. I felt positively ill at ease by the time it was done. Looking through some postings, on on the new Gally-Base forum, it seems to me that some of fandom is confusing the fact that it got them down with it's being somehow bad viewing. Surely the fact that this series was able to elicit such a gut response is proof enough that this was real quality we were watching! That's what good art's supposed to do, folks!

I certainly don't think Torchwood is over, particularly with the ratings it's been receiving this week. We know that that isn't the last we'll see of Jack, after all, as set reports place him as returning on Who at Christmas. Still, I loved this character, and I have genuinely been made to despise him by the end of the last episode. Fucking brilliant!

Torchwood? Torchwood? Torchwood? TORCHWOOD!!!

You know it has to happen.

... I have embarked into the facebook. *chills*

When bad tenors go really bad...
I've never heard it run as far off the tracks as in these clips.... a nightmare waiting to happen!

Next you'll be telling me Jenny McCarthy can't cure autism! ;)

This article from the Guardian had me in stitches.
( I reproduce it for your snarky entertainment.... )

I'm really rather pissed about what they just did on House tonight....

Actually, I'm also rather pissed that they did much the same thing on The Sarah Connor Chronicles on Friday so casually...

Don't have time in your busy daily schedule for prayer? Maybe you love Jesus very much, kind of, but just don't have the time to talk to him? Ever? Or maybe your one of those agnostics, you don't really "believe" believe, but you'd like to hedge your bets? Boy do I have the site for you: Information Age Prayer! For the low price of $3.95 a month, they will run your prayer of choice through a voice synthesizer every day, and allow the computer to speak to god for you. Is a loved one sick? For only $9.95 per month, the computer will beg god to help them 5 times a day!

Isn't that nice?
