when i first decided i was going to watch Doctor Who after seeing my flist explode over it, i didn't even know he was an alien! so the shock of Eccleston regenerating to Tennant at the end of season one just about gutted me. i was living a sad, Doctor Who deprived existence before that.

also? i love Craig Ferguson. it's a shame he's taken.

"triumph of romance and intellect over brute force and cynicism"

love love love. SO much.

I know you didn't know, tiggy, but that really doesn't need to be whitefonted.

oh, i know. i was just being silly.

I recall stumbling across a discussion somewhere (probably TwoP) with a new show fan who had seen some of Pertwee's episodes and was bemoaning that he wasn't the young, sexy new Doctor she was used to. I believe I linked to pictures of William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton and gleefully informed here that in his day Pertwee was the young, sexy new Doctor.

I like William Hartnell (the first Doctor). He was kind of an ass.

Two things about Fringe: 1) Ouch, but the guy was totally right that we should just not know what other people really think; 2) I will never not shout, "Martouf!" when I see JR Bourne on my TV. I hope I'd be able to refrain if I ever saw him in real life, but I'm not entirely sure. Probably best that it's a highly unlikely meeting.

"Martouf!"

I totally called out his name when he came on screen.

And then marveled at how distractingly rectangular and vertical his head is.

But, boy oh boy, do I love the Martouf character. Super sexay...and I'm not even into blonds much.

Am I the only one who is terribly amused that Supernatural's Satan is now Aidan's vampiric sire on Being Human. Actor's got a niche if he wants it.
