'Lessons'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
Hmmm, I totally misunderstood what Tamara was saying -- I know we're getting the 05 Who in two weeks (less now!) - but I thought she meant that '06 Who is starting in the UK in two weeks? Is it? Because that is excellent.
Not that I'll get to see it but - - excited!!
Just got back. Disneyland Rocks!
My prayers and thoughts are with you you and yours Allyson.
It's very good - It's definitely something to get excited about.
That's the impression I get from many fans. Apparently, it's not like the new "Battlestar Galactica," where alot of people were (initially) resistant to the re-conception. There are some quibbles about the new "Who." For the most part, however, the core audience appears to be pleased, thus far...which is good, right?
It's not a re-conception. It's a sequel. Each sequel does some stuff differently, and you can't please everyone.
It's not a re-conception. It's a sequel.
Not to mention it's what, the 10th? Big changes pretty much define Dr Who.
(also, I fifth or whatever the very good.)
It's not a re-conception. It's a sequel.
If you're talking about the new "Who," then I'd have to agree. The new BSG, however, isn't a continuation of the original series. I think Ronald D. Moore has made that clear.
Could someone do me a favor and let the posters at whedonesque.com know, in the thread marked "For the Love of Brigadoon," that "Brigadoon" will be on Turner Classic Movies (TCM), on Wednesday (03/08) morning, at 6:00 AM EST? I know Joss expressed in an interview recently that it was his favorite MGM musical, and that many wanted to see it, too.
I would let them know myself, but, that's a little hard to do when you're not registered there.
ETA: Nevermind about posting the info. at whedonesque.com. I've already e-mailed one of the mods. However, if you've posted it there already, much thanks.
I was responding to this:

to indicate that Who's not a re-conception.
Oh, I see, ita. Thanks for clarifying, and I'm sorry for the confusion on my part, too. Syntax is so not my friend these days.

That's what I thought she meant as well. The whole season/series thing is very confusing. Damn Brits.
Who's not a re-conception.
It isn't, but from what I've heard from fans of the old version, it does seem to be quite a bit different in terms of style. For instance, the Companion doesn't normally have quite so much to do.
I think it's a lot more...sophisticated than the other 8, but they're all tied to their times.
