Looks like civilization finally caught up with us.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Trixie!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Whoops. Completely scrolled past her. The other character with the same last name as Eric Stoltz's character must be playing their daughter.
Yeah - so loved Trixie. The LOST team completely WASTED a lot of potential with her when they cast her and then killed her off about five minutes later.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I'm angry. And emotional. And skipping.
Doctor Who, The Stolen Earth spoilers from now on.
Oh, come on. Seriously? You use all of this mega ex-cast, and what for? It's shooting a mosquito with an elephant gun, that's what it is. If you're aiming emotion, well, hello? Rose and the Doctor? Like, the biggest star crossed lover couple I've seen and loved to tiny little pieces since Buffy and Angel (oh, yeah. I'm 12 that way)?
And I knew. Dammit, I knew. When they ran one towards another, I knew it would end badly. Sigh. I do love them. Not enough of the original bimbo Rose was back on the day on now-Rose, too. She's got that grown-to-be-sad look on her face now, and I can't wait to hear her story, but I got the feeling I won't get so lucky. Or, actually, I got the feeling that if I'll hear her story, the episode will be bloody awful.
I don't understand why Martha is there, at all. Personality and all, I didn't care much for her in the past season, and now she's just one more name on the too-long-list-as-is to save. Not a good distraction. C'mon, writers. You can give me a great season finale without recruiting all of those so obviously soon-to-be red shirts. And you haven't shown me enough good reasons for all of them to be there. And my ass "secret wave what's it's name for the Doctor's closest". Pffft.
I freaking love what they've done with Donna's character, but she needs to get some more screen time before I'll shoot someone. I love it when she's saving the day, and even though I didn't even think I'd like her when she joined as companion, now I love her. More than that, I can identify with her. And my God, what a thick mother she's got.
I have no idea about Torchwood or Sarah-Jane, or her son, or what's going on there at all, but I know that I'd probably tell me mom to chill if I'll see such a reaction from her. Oh, and it goes without mention, but Captain Jack is foamy. And should be with the Doctor. Or that Rose should be with the Doctor and Donna should be with Captain Jack. Maybe a threesome... No, wait. I'm gonna keep my options open at this call. Too much foaminess. Is good.
But above all. Why take my beloved Tennant away from me?
Evil.
Right, I'm done. Less angry and emotional. As always, thanks for listening. And I need a hug, and hot chocolate milk, and a Captain Jack next to it won't hurt, too. Dammit, damn allergies.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Oh, wait until she sees "Journey's End"
Do you have to wait a week, Shir?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Hmmm. I think I'll hold off saying anything until you've seen "Journey's End."
Yeah.
I'm thinking that's a good idea.

Our wings are not tired.
Clearly the medicine Shir needs is the Sarah Jane Adventures and Torchwood in marathon viewing.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Yeah. Journey's End. Ho boy.
I rewatched Stolen Earth today and it was only slightly less anxiety making than the first time. And I have to wait a whole week for Journey's End!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Matt, I remember you were lamenting the idea of no more Sean Maguire in Cupid--did you know he's the lead in Krod Mandoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire on Comedy Central?

I finally gave in and watch "The Next Doctor" on YouTube. Not my preferred method of viewing things, but Lea's down in Boston for something, and I've got some time on my hands.
Liked it a great deal more than I expected. (I'd had a bad feeling about it, from the previews I'd seen.) Still, Giant, steampunk Cybermen are pretty much right up my alley, and I found myself liking David Morrissey as sort of an odd, Victorian parody of the Doctor, both of his time and yet ... Doctorish. On the whole, not very deep, but a good bit of fun.
