Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I was madly enthralled with some bits of this episode. I think I need a rewatch to figure out why.

Oh, me, too! I had to start a rewatch immediately. But then the kids got up from their nap. Dammit. I got as far as "I'm The Doctor and I just snogged Madame De Pompadour! Bwhaha!" It killed me dead.

Because books.

I just saw my very first bit of (any) Dr. Who the other night (aside from a vague memory of the 70s Doctor with freaky big hair) -- the one at Versailles, with Madame du Pompadour. I was fascinated -- and then I got interrupted. But I'm feeling like I may need to get on the Dr. Who train.

Like I need another show.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The actress who played Mme du Pompadour is Sophia Myles, who is David Tennant's girlfriend. She is also a very good actress--she ALMOST made her role in Tristan und Isolde beleivable, no small feat. I loved this week's episode muchly.

She played a small role in Underworld, didn't she? One of the vampires? No wonder their chemistry lit up the screen!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

On Studio 60 I was pretty darn eye-rolly. a lot. but what clinched it for me was the kid whipping out a copy of "Who's on First". a SEVENTY EIGHT of "Who's on First" that he apparently keeps in his desk. Or possibly Sorkin's butt.

What is even happening?

Probably Pertwee.

Trudy (Studio 60)

Yeah, that was bizarre. I just chalked it up to him being the type who might have bought it for himself--a collectible of sorts.

ACK! The Elder! The younger Pertwee is sexy, hottt! And sans fright wig hair.

70s Doctor with freaky big hair

More likely Tom Baker, who, while I adorerd him, did have a lot of hair. I like my Doctors with a touch of multiple personality disorder, flashing from manic cheerful to dangerous.

Baker had the 'fro. Pertwee's looked like a bad rug. Sad all those Doctors had such awful hair.

I thought I adored CE. Then I saw David Tennant. Damn.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Robin Williams doing his impression of oral sex in his HBO comedy special a few years ago

Sweet fancy Moses -- the first time I saw that, my friends actually paused the DVD because I couldn't stop laughing and they (1) couldn't hear Robin Williams over me, and (2) they thought I might hyperventilate. (I think #2 is an exaggeration.)

Oh HELL yes. My bro and I can send each other into gales of laughter with: "Mother? .... Not mother?"
