"That lemur! It's earth-bending!"

One of two awesome lines in an otherwise subpar episode.

(The other being this entire exchange:

Warden: Tell me exactly what you saw.
Captain: Well sir, it looked like a flying bison.
Warden: What?
Soldier: It was a giant flying buffalo, sir, with an empty saddle.
Warden: Which was it? A buffalo or a bison?
Captain: I'm not sure what the difference is, but that's not the point is it, sir?
Warden: I'll decide what the point is, fool.
(Warden throws the Captain overboard)
Warden: You! Wake up the Captain! Search the entire rig.
Soldier: Sir.
Warden: What?
Soldier: That was the Captain you just threw overboard. So...
Warden: Then wake up someone I haven't thrown overboard and search the rig. There's something going on here and I don't like it.

It's the "So..." that makes it art.)

Who UK (finally - I watched the ep 6 days ago!): sure, it was a great episode. But. The whole lonely monster thing went without too much thought/screen time to it, and the "sometimes winning is no fun" hit below the belt for me. I'm waiting for the "sometimes winning isn't the right thing to do" to really hit. Maybe that's why the there was such a feeling of pure magic, pure fairy-tale in this episode: because you don't have to handle the ramifications when it's just a fairy tale. And yes, Van Gogh story and watching Amy's and the Doctor's reaction to it were amazing. But with the lonely monster and how does one handle lonely monsters story felt too lost.

I wonder what happened to the body?

I'm rewatching DW9 and have to say that I totally get...again...how I got sucked into the Whoniverse where I had never tread before.

I'd forgotten how much I loved 9 and the characters around him. Not as much loving Rose as I remembered doing...somehow she's grown sweeter in my memory. But Eccleston, and the monsters. Absolute gold.

The only downside is that 9 is making me reevaluate 11 after I'd settled into total appreciation. The battle is on!

Misha's mouth!

I feel like maybe someone took Misha's tweets and made a movie out of them . . . maybe it's because I now recognize that this movie was the scene of Misha's execution on account that he spotted the Queen in a fetish shop... [link]

I'm loving Stonehenge Apocalypse. Misha and Wingfield—I can only hope they have more scenes together. Misha's characters insistence that it wasn't aliens, it was a robot head is charming the heck out of me.

I'm dying over the British accents, and loving that Misha is spending almost the entire first hour in handcuffs being manhandled. His jeans, however, are most unfortunate.

Ah, the gorgeous Maine Cascade mountains.

OMG, the Eureka ad with Fargo is hysterical!
