Mmm. Avon.

The Boston PBS station, so far as I could tell, only showed Colin Baker's episodes when I was a kid.

That would have been Tom Baker probably, as Colin Baker is mid-80s, well into my Who viewing.

Oh, that reminds me, last week I finally watched the first few eps of Farscape.

This reminds me of a miscommunication Paul and I had tonight while watching Due South. Two nights ago, Paul mentioned that Fraser reminded him of Captain Carrot. Tonight, I said, "Carrot crossed with Kryton." He looked really confused until I clarified that I meant Kryton, not Crichton.

Though I'm now amusing myself with Kryton/Crichton, and wondering who I could bribe.

There's a new D&D campaign setting where you can basically play a living robot. I started out consciously modelling my character on Kryten. (He has a decent Int of 14, but Wis and Cha are both 6. He's great fun to play.)

Sorry, I just love Jake Johannsen.

He had the best bit when he was coming up in SF. It was about how the punks on Haight street had hair that was....trying to get away...from their heads.

Sorry, I can't replicate his timing with ellipsis. But you can imagine it.

And I still think about that when I see certain egregious hairdos.

(Incidentally, that's a great unused band name of the New Wave era: Egregious Hairdos. Up there with Disturbed Furniture and Practically Ashtrays.)

Speaking of Due South, Ple, I will be sending you Slings & Arrows so you can revel in Paul Gross being insane and sexy and charismatic.

t confession Billytea, were I younger and not married and blah blah blah AS and all that jazz, I'd find that incredibly sexy

Signed, first long-term online handle was from Red Dwarf, sat through every single RD telethon the local PBS station had, and spent her first trimester watching the DVDs, and re-reading the tie-in novels, script books, and RL's biography.

I'm totally down with that.

I'm due for a rewatch of Men With Brooms so I can see him naked, too.

Hmmm. This is probably best whined about in LJ.

Mmm. Avon.

But let's not forget Crichton the robot from Buck Rogers!

Well, okay, let's. But he's there, just the same.

And on that note, I must sleep.

Oh, Tom Baker, right. t am dumb It's late. I may go fall into bed.

But wait, I'm IN BED. Golly, a laptop with wireless is fun. And slightly dangerous...

Ok, I've just added Blake's 7 to my Quickflix list. Feels good.

And, just for the hell of it, a couple of quotes from the Doctor Who adventure The City of Death:

Doctor: 'I say, what a wonderful butler! He's so violent!'

Countess: [Speaking of the Doctor.] 'My dear, I don't think he's as stupid as he seems.'
Count: 'My dear, nobody could be as stupid as he seems.'
