They didn't make it clear if it was the effort of resurrecting and killing Justin, the spell that brought him back dissipating once Justin was gone, or something that was going to happen regardless.

I thought that it was a result of the lifeforce going from Justin through Bob to Harry. Harry kept shouting "let go, Bob". The life force going from Harry to Bob seemed to be conducted through Bob. I think that the force going back into him after such a short time is what killed him, like overloading a battery.

This makes sense, although it seems odd that while a lot of lifeforce was taken from Harry, he only got zapped back with it for a second or two. But Bob kept absorbing it, so that "overload" theary makes lots of sense.

Only, poor dear Harry just got his life shortened (good thing wizards live for a long time!) cuz he didn't get it all back (just enough to magically release his bonds that he couldn't undo before for whatever reason (and which were also a pretty shade of blue).

Maybe if they'd shown magical bonds that got obliterated with the redistribution of lifeforce my inner magic-geek would be pleased as punch, and my inner make-sense-damnit!-geek would be satisfied.

Nora and Invisible Green, good catch! I hadn't picked up on any of that.

We're getting season 2 of Life on Mars in August!!!

Matt Roush: Happy to help. BBC America recently unveiled some of its summer plans, which include the return of Life on Mars in August. Also, as a cult alert, look for second seasons of Hex and Afterlife, as well as a fifth season of guilty pleasure Footballers Wive$, in June

Ooh, and Afterlife -- that was a good show. (They've been bombarding us with Hex ads for weeks now.)

Again with the Who 3.01:

KateP. might have a bright idea: what if Ten is a bigger flirt than Jack? Won't Jack be blown away, and also, highly amused? Muahahahaahahaha. Damn, can't wait for to see the Jack/Ten stuff.

Also, I'm now craving a crossover fic in which the TARDIS accidentally sets down in a certain top secret small town in America.... Bonus points for all the Jack confusion if there is some reason to have a professional consultation between Allyson and General O'Neil.

Re Doctor Who: according to the "Confidential", the deal with Martha is that it's unrequited love. RTD said he thought that was actually the more common thing; the Doctor and Rose had requited love, and how often does that happen anyway? So - that's the official position anyway. I agree that 10 is a flirt, but I don't think much of it is concious. He warned Martha off fairly explicitly at the end, and she pretended not to be hurt by it .

And about Mr. Saxon, apparently that's the name of the character I posted about in Spoilers lite.... but I'd better not say any more here. I did wonder about the big "Vote Saxon" poster behind Martha when she sees the Tardis for the first time. Hadn't spotted the references before, of course .

When did you post in Spoilers Lite, Fiona? I just scanned a year\'s worth of posts there and didn\'t see you.

Is it this one, from Spoilers proper and not lite? Fiona "Spoilers 3: First Mutant Enemy, Now the World" Apr 2, 2007 4:01:37 am PDT

I seem to recall a different casting spoiler for DW as well.

If that\'s what Fiona is referring to (and it must be), then... Neat!

Oh yes, I read that along time ago. (And the spoilery thing appears in that promo that Betsy linked to.)
