I liked Children of Earth quite a bit, even as it gutted me. I think it did well using the past and the present as well as the large scale and small. Still don't know who's going to brew all the tea, wear all the waistcoats, and be generally awesome, but thinking deeply on that still hurts.
I didn't finish the following season though. GOOD LORD.
I'm not getting the Nigel reference, bt.
I've only just finished the Eccleston run so I don't really have opinions on the newly announced Doctor.
I should get out and go to check out the neighborhood street festival. I'm kind of... meh... because I just learned that a friend and colleague died last night. Not a surprise; I was told earlier this week he was in the end stages; but still sobering. Eh. I should get out.
I'm with le nubian. "Children of Men" was not the Torchwood I signed up for.
Recasting Clive Owen as Captain Jack really put me off the whole thing.

Oh no, there's not really anything to get. I'm just tickled that his credits include Penguins of Madagascar.
NPR just said the announcement of the new Doctor is as important as the royal baby. That's...about right, actually.
I heard that story three times in two days. Once yesterday, twice today, once on my way to brunch at 11, and once in the car on the way back at 2.

THIS.
Sorry, I may be a tad overemotional about that.
Anyway, I've an open mind about the new Doctor. I hear this guy is good, so I look forward to seeing it. I do really enjoy Matt Smith, though. I know a lot of people didn't like him, but I've enjoyed the lightness he brought back to the series.
NPR just noted that Capaldi is the second oldest man to play the Doctor. So, the whole getting younger with each regeneration thing is out the window now?
That'll teach me to post and then go to the park and exercise.

Somewhere, Alex Bain is cursing his agent even as we speak.
I can't pass off going out to lunch and making groceries as a full day's productivity, can I?
Well, going to take a break before I do anything else, anyway. I braved Walmart and that was tiring.
