Has anyone seen Christmas Day at Doctor Who's?

Ach, I forgot about mentioning that.

The guy who plays Tom Baker does a lot of impersonating of his doctor. The voice is down perfect. I made Andi a LJ icon of the final sign shot.

If anyone wants a downloadable .avi or .wmv version of the sketch, I have restored the ones I made to the links in this post:

There's also a video floating around of the real reason Chris E. quit Dr. Who done by the same people.

Here it is:

"Eccleston Quits"

I am amused to the HGTV description of "Keys to the castle"

Keys to the Castle

American host John Barrowman tours four castles

Sure he was raised here, folks, but he was born there and holds dual citizenship.

Interesting note about Barrowman: he was up for the part of Will in Will and Grace, but they decided he seemed "too straight," claims Wikipedia.

WS, it's very funny to watch people dance around spoilers in discussions (I know exactly 1 spoiler from late in the season, so this is mostly, but not entirely, about other people, rather than me.)--particularly big, thematic, season-long-type-stuff discussions. (I do love that we can have these discussions in a meaningful way, rather than just hoping that the writers keep to the stuff they plant.)

It's also interesting, knowing the spoiler I do know, to try to figure out where and how it fits in. Much like trying to figure out the lay of the land wrt Torchwood.

I do hope that they get back to the "No Second Chances" Doctor of CI. Given that I've heard the title "Girl in the Fireplace" a lot, I'm assuming that we're going to be getting back into it, if you will, from the set-up-heaviness of Tooth and Claw and School Reunion (which, as much as I like it, was setting up, if I had to guess: at least SJ, Mickey on the TARDIS, thematic stuff, and, possibly, the aliens of the episode.)

Chief tells Laura and Tom that Adama is coming to get them while he's standing right in front of that truck and not really that far away from the dying Cavil. Seems like a bad idea to me.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Showing your faces and discussing your plan in front of a guy that's going to be able to report it all once he finally dies was really stupid.

I had the same reaction in the premiere when Boomer calls Jammer by name as the kidnappees are being taken off of the trucks. I mean, they have hoods on (unless they're main cast... whatever), but calling Jammer by name (twice, I think) within earshot seemed kind of wrong. But, you know, nits.

I haven't seen ep 2 yet, and I won't see it or ep 3 until I get back from Florida. Is keeling me.

I caught up on all of BSG today. I kind of have to get into the mood for the show, you know? And man was it a ride. Sometimes I forget why I like the show, but then I remember that I'm surprisingly invested in it for a show that has, like, no humor. Lack of humor is usually a death nell for me. But I stick around for BSG.

The only thing that bugged me was Fat Lee. I mean, come the hell on. Not only did it look terribly unrealistic, but lovely Jamie Bamber has no idea how to carry it. It looked like a deleted scene from The Nutty Professor.

I think they really should have gone a little more subtle with the weight gain. It really pulls me out, and worse, makes me giggle (and I didn't know that when a guy gains weight, the corners of his jaw become yoooooge! Like, comic book/superhero huge)

From what I've been reading (specifically in regards to what Dualla says about him in the season promo), it almost feels like the reasoning behind why he got fat came after the offhand decision to make him fat. "Let's show how things have changed, ooh, here's a fun idea for Lee. Crap, uh, hurry up, what's the psychology behind it?" because it kind of undermines everything I thought I knew about Lee. But perhaps everything that I've gleaned about who he is has been just a bunch of wank to cover spotty writing from people who just don't know what to do with him, and this is just the latest in a long line of shite I'll have to wank.

Or maybe everyone over in the Lee thread at TWoP is just wrong, which, damn.

Eh, maybe it will all gel in the end.

Re: Dr. Who - Aside from limited number of lives, when it comes to life number 13 don't they have to make him evil? And now we have a motive - trying to prevent the destruction of the time lords.

why would he have to be evil?
