Dr. Who: WTF, that was John Simm??? I totally didn't recognize him!

Oh, I thought you meant the guy whispering into Martha's Mum's ear. I assumed that was Saxon, not John Simm in the promo.

Who!
Captain Jack! John Simm! YAYE.
I didn't think that the dude talking to Martha's mom was Saxon. I thought it was a Saxon lackey, or someone from Torchwood, who told Martha that this was from Saxon. Because if it was Saxon, that's a lame-o way to introduce a character. And it couldn't have been, realistically, because everyone would have been mobbing the political candidate. Also, Saxon wasn't just mentioned in casting spoilers. They've been name-dropping him and showing posters and props on the set since the first episode of the season, not unlike Bad Wolf and Torchwood.
That trailer freaking ROCKED. It was just, boom boom boom, awesome awesome awesome. Two weeks! I don't want to wait.
Vonnie, you don't have to watch Torchwood to understand the new Who eps. There wasn't more than a passing reference on TW itself about Jack leaving, so it shouldn't be an issue. I have to say, I really disliked TW for about the first five episodes, but I kept watching because, well, I do that sort of thing. And it started to get better as it went along. The season finale made be both squee and weep in equal measures, which was far more than I expected. So it might be worth giving it another chance just for the 2-part season finale.

Yes, to confirm: the guy whispering to Martha's mum: definitely not Saxon. A lackey or Torchwood, maybe both.
John Simm: definitely playing Saxon. The scene in the trailer where he has an oxygen mask over his face and is drumming something on the table... rather creepy.
I know a little bit more about the character, but that's definitely for Spoilers, not here.
Two weeks! I don't want to wait.
Yes, because of the bloody Eurovision Song Contest. Ugh.

I was weak. I watched the SPN Director's Cuts. And I want the episode NOW, dammit!! Of course, by 10 o'clock on Thursday, I'll immediately be demanding the second half.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Although the SPN anticipation is killing me, it's nice to be looking forward to a season finale with this degree of excitement again.
