No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Our wings are not tired.

My timing seems to be off. I wasn't around to watch the Stargates, and yet I am home for Ice Spiders, or whatever this is called.

A classic in the making. I'm even afraid of spiders and this is cracking me up.

Thrive to spite them

I watched the first few minutes and got a bit grossed out. But now i've got Ice Spiders back on. They are rather pretty. In a weird creepy way.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Brilliant Dr. Who! Am I the only one who thought that the Nightingale boy was going to get nabbed at the house, right before they found the TARDIS, and that's how the Dr. got the transcript?

Watched Ice Spiders to the end. Quite a feat. My fear of spiders is cured. From now on when I see I spider I will burst out laughing.

Behind on the Who. Must catch up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Jon, thought what you thought and I'm glad it happened their way instead. My hope for it not being that way was that I thought he had to figure out some of the bits she said before he started writing, and that wouldn't happen till after the scary stuff.

My worry about the nasty horrible fucking terrifying (I was a child in Natter because I was SCARED--I can admit that to you people) bad guys is that someone will move the statues apart from each other and they'll get on the move again. Were they holding hands?

That would make me sleep better.

Doctor Who, 20-minute mark: Dammit, Billy Shipton, you're gonna die, aren't you? But I like you! *sigh*

Doctor Who: Holy crap, that was terrifying. *shudder* I think I should have heeded the warning Fiona posted earlier and waited until daylight to watch it. What a cool concept, though! But SCARY AS FUCK.

ita, I had the same worry as you about the statues being moved. AUGH!

Just watched the new Who. Well. I won't be going to bed anytime soon, will I?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I'd resisted aheming this season since I can start recording it in clearer fullscreen off SciFi in a month, but the notion of an episode that can creep out ita and shrift is just too tempting. How vital is it to see eps 1 through 9 before this one?
