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.

Surprise, I've skipped yet again, and to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is a double Buffista event: it's the birthday of both Nora Deirdre and of Angus (whom I hadn't 'seen' on the board in forever, and I hope the well-wishes will find their way to him). Happy birthday, Nora! Happy birthday, Angus! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

Happy Birthday, Angus

Happy Birthday, Nora

Hi Nilly.

I'm feeling all comfy cozy in Natter this morning with all the Dr. Who discussion. I've never watched an episode, so I can't claim to be a fan. What I've found though, during my time online, is that I am a major Dr. Who fan Fan.

Well, of course. I mean, have you seen us?

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.

Ooh, Plei, can I borrow when you're done?

Oooh! The homemade "Whip It" vid was adorable in the way only 5th graders can be. I hope their parents keep it around for embarrassing the kids in another 7 years or so, when their dates for the prom come to the house....
