‘Doctor Who’ blogging: “Human Nature”
It’s a sickness, I tell ya. A sickness. I hate you, Russell Davies. And I hate you, David Tennant. Hate. Please just go away and take the Doctor out of my head when you leave. I’m begging you.

‘Doctor Who’ blogging: “42”
I’m *so* madly in love with David Tennant’s Doctor. I mean, it’s scary, and sad, how I can’t stop thinking about him. Even in the not-so-awesome episodes like this one. Watching him running around and doing nothing is maybe second only to actually traveling with him on the TARDIS. “Burn with me, Martha”? Ooo, I think I might.
in Eureka, all the children are above average
[spoilers!] (previous Eureka blogging here and here) Eat your heart out, Garrison Keillor: In the little town of Eureka, all the children really are above average. It struck me while watching last night’s episode of the Sci Fi Channel original series that the last three installments have been, in some way or another, about the … more…
‘Doctor Who’ blogging: “The Lazarus Experiment”
This is like an old-style ‘Doctor Who’ episode: the mad scientist who pushes beyond boundaries of whatever, and the Doctor must stop him, blah blah blah. It’s pretty standard, actually. Most of what’s really fascinating about this episode is on the periphery, or in the background, or doesn’t become obvious until you rewatch it after you’ve seen the entire season.
Tim Kring and Masi Oka on ‘Heroes’ Season 1 DVD, Season 2 secrets (kinda)
Hiro is in feudal Japan. That’s where Heroes left us at the end of Season One. How could they do that to us, and then make us wait all this time to find out how the heck that happened, and where the heck it will take him? It’s terribly mean. But the wait is almost … more…
White Light/Black Rain: The Destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (review)
A simple, apolitical reminder — an act of passionate but clearheaded pleading — that we must never forget the horrors of Japan in the summer of 1945.
‘Doctor Who’ blogging: “Evolution of the Daleks”
Martha not wanting to separated from the Doctor? Hell, I’d be the same way. I’d never wanna let him out of my sight, not just because of the being madly in love thing, but because I’d be terrified of being left behind. This was an unspoken aspect of in my fanfic: You don’t let go of the Doctor. You just don’t.
‘The Company’ on TNT: no dog days for TV
I previewed the first episode, and wow…
‘Doctor Who’ blogging: “Daleks in Manhattan”
Well, it was bound to happen, and the longer this new ‘Doctor Who’ went on, the more likely it became: Here we have the first not-very-good episode of the new incarnation of the show.
‘Doctor Who’ blogging: “Gridlock”
I’ve seen this episode three or four times now, and each time, I think more highly of it. I’m not crazy about the New New York stuff for starters — it’s just not alien enough for five *billion* years in the future, but, okay: whatever.
