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.

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.)

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.'

Before you got here, I saw all of Doctors 4 through 7 on Seattle TV.

Well. Ain't you special. The best we could do was Upstairs Downstairs and All Creatures Great And Small on our rinky-dink Oklahoma PBS station. And bad tapes of the same 20 or so Baker arcs.

(And all the good seasons of Red Dwarf, plus Blake's 7.)

Red Dwarf was a massive cult thing in Boulder back in '92. My secret junior year crush wore a "SMEG OFF" T-shirt. Unfortunately, the path to her got scrambled up due to an Australian girl. But Red Dwarf stuck. So much so that I snuck into the flat down the road to watch the Red Dwarf episode of University Challenge on the Beeb, when the cast trounced the fans.

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

No. For all that is good and decent, no.

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

I got in an argument once over which was the greatest final episode ever: Blake's 7 or Newhart. Blake's 7 is such a twist -- or is it? -- but Newhart was just too damn funny.

Unfortunately, you managed to miss the golden age of Seattle PBS by about three years, I think. Which sucks, because it used to be really good, and it's how I managed to watch damn near every decent Britcom of the 80s. (And a lot of the not so decent ones, too, I fear.)

It started to go downhill when I was in college. IIRC, that's about the time they started having money scandals or something.

No. For all that is good and decent, no.

For me, that's sweet and innocent. No, really. Just trust me on this one and be glad I have no desire to write it myself, or it would already exist. My brain is a dangerous place on sleep dep.
