We also noticed in my household that Tate has a figure like a Real Woman, and was dressed very well for it, too.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Oh, yes. I think that's what I liked most about Tate as Donna. She wasn't young and she wasn't a sylph. She acted and looked like an adult, not a teenybopper. I found her character much more layered that Rose ever was. And minus the embarassing crush that Martha had on the Doctor.

Which is why I was pretty dubious initially, and watched her in the Christmas Special after Season 2 with a sense of "...but you're Catherine Tate. Am I bovvered?"
Well, I do know that I really didn't love that Xmas special, and (and I don't think I'm the only one) who was less than thrilled that she'd be taking Martha's place (who I adored). But she won me over. I didn't HATE that Xmas special (especially since it showed Tennant's unforgiving side of the Doctor, and I DID like how Donna called him on it), but I couldn't see how she'd sustain. Which she did - superlatively!

Fay, have you seen this one? He goes verra Scottish.
There's a clip I love of him introducing the Pussycat Dolls ("singing" group) The way he says "Pussy" cracks me up

she still annoyed me often, but she was a good companion. I liked that she often soldiered on in spite of how scared she was.

That's the thing about me and Dr. Who. I know I would never be a companion, because I'm such a chicken.
Still, would love to travel the TARDIS. With Tennant as the Dr..

All is well that ends in pizza.
I wish they would explore the Tardis more. I always liked it when they had budget cuts and just threw in random rooms.
Swimming pool! Solarium! Observatory! Snack bar #4! Cozy lounge with all comfy couches!
The possibilities are endless.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Yes! This is the joy of fanfic, of course, or the novels. But I agree that they should do this onscreen more!

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Lea and I finally gave in and bought "Battlestar Galactica" Season 4.0 from iTunes. We were going to wait and Netflix it, but, we realized A.) There is absolutely NOTHING on TV this week, and B.) Lea will be gone most of the first part of January, so there's no way we could watch it together before the new season starts. We've watched through "Escape Velocity."
It's amazing at how quickly I get sucked back into it. Terribly, terribly gripping.

Oh yeah.
BSG is going to be showing the last 3 episodes of season 3 and all of 4.0 ON the 16th. Which does you no good if you actually plan on going to work on that day.

I know! I'm shocked they didn't release the DVD for Christmas.
