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.)

Following DWC: Yeah, Fiona, I caught that too. Seriously, could Russell be more of a fanboy? He basically confirmed this huge OTP that, for all we saw onscreen, could have been played off as unrequited. But instead he says with the enthusiasm of anyone on time_and_chips, "Rose met the most fantastic man in the world, who happened to think she was the most fantastic woman in the world, but how often does that happen in real life?" I swear to god, you know that man has a stash of Rose/Doctor fanfiction on his hard drive that he desperately wishes he could have put on the show.

Also DWC: Dude, totally didn't realise it was Tony Head narrating until the credits. Oy. Also, Face of Bo! Who doesn't love the Face of Bo?
