I've watched the first four episodes of LoM. I'm liking it more with each episode, but I'm not in flaily love.

F2F Vancouver?

So some friends of mine are in town today, and they're staying at a local hotel that happens to be hosting a sci-fi convention. So who did we see in the hotel bar? None other than Kevin freakin Sorbo.

Lost a little of the bulk, still has fabulous hair. And I accidentally took a picture of his ass.

(I don't know if this belongs here, but this is the only place I can catch up at ass o'clock in the morning.)

And I accidentally took a picture of his ass.

Why is there one part of that sentence I have trouble believing?

I'm liking it more with each episode, but I'm not in flaily love.

They had me at "Where's my PC terminal?" "'Oo?"

Speaking of which...

Who 3.8: absolutely stonking episode last night. Fantastic acting all round, especially Nurse Whassername (Jessica Stevenson as was), the possessed student, and the Love, Actually kid. Wonder where they're going with him.

Dr. Who 3.8:

Absolutely my favorite ep so far this season. It took me a minute or two to figure out why my reaction to the Love Actually kid was so, "Awww, it's that kid!" I couldn't actually remember what I'd seen him in, but I knew I adored him. Weird.

Everyone was just so on in this ep, and the story is actually sucking me in. And with the suspense. DT in the final scene, with his desperation at not having a freaking clue what the aliens are talking about was heartbreaking. As was poor Martha basically all through the last half of the ep. She misses her Dr. Well, and who wouldn't?

And the love story is just so sweet. D'awww.

In short, loved it.

It is inexplicable to me that dvds for Robin Hood are coming out just two weeks after the season finale here while we are still waiting to hear about LoM - was Robin Hood so much more popular than LoM in the UK that they would plan this?

Not really! But it was one of those cute, cheap, easily sellable shows. It's pretty astonishing that LOM doesn't have a quicker DVD release date, because *everyone* was talking about it around the office for the finale.

P-C, it starts off kind of weird but interesting, then diverges into creepy yet funny, and finally (at the end of season one) you end up a babbling wreck just asking for MORE MORE MORE.

Kind of like a zombie, with cable.

Oooh, new who. Hopefully better who than last week, because last week was yawn city.

So who did we see in the hotel bar? None other than Kevin freakin Sorbo.

Ha. Be careful. He may start appearing every time you say his name.

I've come up with a reason why we haven't got LoM dvds yet - perhaps they're waiting until season 2 has been shown over here and then will do a 16 episode 2 series set for North America. (Which would make it sometime next Spring.) Would we complain more about paying really big bucks for something that ony has 8 episodes (twice) or paying even more money for 16 at once?

ROAD TRIP!

Amazon.co.uk has Life on Mars Series 1 & 2 on DVD. That's all there is, right? I can't wait until they decide to release it over here. So glad for my hackable DVD player that lets me play all regions. ::pets DVD player::

So, 7:00 pm board time tonight for the first of the summer rewatch and posts of Everybody loves a clown?
