A Place to Crash

Please, Chris Carter, I Beg Of You To Correct Your Sins

So a friend of mine just emailed me this (hope he doesn’t mind):

“You seem unusually not geeked out about the new X-Files movie on the weekend. Do you know something the rest of us don’t?”

Most people that I know these days don’t think that’s a weird thing, although they could possibly guess from the sonic screwdriver I carry in my purse most days. But he’s an over-5-year friend, and he remembers the fact that I have both a XF alien state and a Cigarette Smoking Man 12-inch signed by Chris Owens. Can I have my nerd card now?

More about the upcoming film, old episode spoilers, big-time plot speculation, and I actually criticize Gillian Anderson. Considering I have said for years that she’s the only woman I’d switch sides for without question, any day, anywhere, this is a strange development. (In related news, I hope my mom hasn’t found my blog yet) Oh, and very subtle references to the DW finale (what else do you expect?)

Thoughts About Davros, Daleks and All Things Donna

I’m almost a week behind on Who because last week I was out of commission for most of the week. I still plan to write about “Turn Left”, but probably more as a look at the character of Donna in general. But tonight I’m finally sitting down, steeling myself for misery and watching last Saturday’s UK ep.

I’m being very kind and putting a TON of spoilers behind a cut-tag. A lot of random thoughts about “The Stolen Earth”, blatant speculation about Saturday’s finale, and pretty much the entire two series of Torchwood. Oh, and all the other shows that John Barrowman and Billie Piper are in. You lot had better be watching “Secret Diary of a Call Girl” on Showtime, right? However, I’m not as kind as you might think I would be towards Rose in the following missive. So if that offends, *shrugs*.
