Stefan (Paul Wesley) can't get his mind off classmate Elena (Nina Dobrev) — perhaps because the two of them were deeply in love 130 years years ago

Reincarnation? Good nutrition? How's Elena still around for 130 years?

LeN, will you watch the next Who (which I think might have Jack in it) or TW?

I haven't gotten into Who at all - despite trying.

I don't know about TW. I'll see next year.

Why do I suspect we'll be cheering for the fog?

Or the sun...

I thought that she could have easily played the Lois role in CoE.

I don't think so. Lois' role depended on her being in a position of trust and discretion (and doing what she was told by TW). Not Donna's cup of tea.

I did shake GDL's hand and talk to him and ask what he had coming up. Without saying "P.S. Your death sucked from a narrative standpoint and your show was mean to me."

(He called me "lovely" again.)

I can't bear all this angst and pain in my fantasy. This is the place I go to make the angsty pain go away. I don't want my heart rent in fiction; I already know what that feels like.

I am totally with you on that. Didn't used to be that way, but lately...

Didn't used to be that way, but lately...

Not just me then. I can't decide if it is a function of maturity (and by maturity I only mean age, as in my middle aged-ness) or saturation.

Hey, I know this is probably the wrong thread for this question, but I know the bulk of David Tennant fans hang here, so here we go...

I'm looking for a particular clip from the miniseries Blackpool. I used to have the...ahemmed...show but it went away several used computers ago.

The speech I want comes just beyond the two thirds mark, I believe, and features David saying to his erstwhile lover:

"These are the things we won't do..."

While I'd love the clip, I would be fully satisfied with a transcript of the speech.

Can anyone help a sister out?

I can't decide if it is a function of maturity

Making those of us not at that point less mature?

By NO means. See my tardy edit.

I think I've either been so fascinated by angsty stuff in my youth that I overdosed and just don't have the neural receptors to process it without taking it on anymore, OR my life situation is so precarious in some ways that I'm overwhelmed by darkness in entertainment.

It's an interesting division between my best friend and I. She finds reality shows about OCD sufferers, interventions and folks being criticized for their appearance and fashion choices pure entertainment. I, on the other hand, can't seem to keep them from hurting my heart. I guess because I quite successfully deal with people's problems in real life and can do nothing for the folks I see on tv.

I'm just wondering when I'm going to stop being pissed they killed Ianto. That overshadows the angst of the rest of the ending for me.

As for the sadness of the end of Donna's run on Who, that was so bittersweet, because she was a hero, and then...nothing. But they like recycling there, so I think we will hear of her again, somehow. Somehow.

Hands up who's watching Vampire Diaries...I need to know who to ask how much it blows. Or maybe it could be the crack I need to replace 90210.
