Happy Geek Chick

Celebrating the beginning of finals (which means the end of classes, which means no actual homework, just projects) with a little Tom Baker. Specifically I saw most of The Hand of Fear and The Deadly Assassin again.

Ah, Borusa is such a prig in this one. I think I prefer him in The Invasion of Time.

Tom Baker confuses my poor little fangirl brain. Any other Doctor I can say is adorable or good-looking but attractive just isn't the word... but then we have the funny-looking bloke and I must admit it's the right word for him. It can't JUST be the voice - cause I keep giggling at solely visual things too.

But then this is the serial when he plays action hero.

Tomorrow! More from ... you know, I just learned that people are calling him the Grand Moff. Ha! I like it. Yay for Steven Moffat. Another little geekish joy was discovering an archive of his quotes from the official forums. "How dare you. We never called the nanogenes 'magic fairy dust', that would've been camp and ridiculous. We called them Tinkerbells."

*Edit: Oh God help me, I went and signed up for the forums just so I could read more things he's said. But it's cool, I'm learning about some of the less-successful stuff Moffat did before he settled into his style. Tom Baker apparently ripped him a new one for one of his sitcoms in the nineties*

...Oh WOW.

From the DW forums:

[Quote: Regarding the Blink Easter Egg, I have it on good authority that it's definitely there on the Blink Disk. Just hunt around and you'll find it]

It's there all right, I just found it. I even got my script and read in Sally's part. I stopped when I realised I was pretending to be a hot blonde of my own creation talking to Doctor Who on my computer.

Steven Moffat

Awesome

I went to Game Kastle to pass a little time while waiting for Forest of the Dead. I was sufficiently impressed with the 4th ed. DMG that I picked up the whole set - something I normally don't do without serious consideration.

I am continuing to be impressed. And I think the girls will be, too. The monster manual is beautiful, the DMG has some REALLY good advice for new GMs... Bit ticked off at the lack of nature-based abilities, but otherwise I am happy.

FOTD

...I really don't know what to think about that.....

I've got to say I don't like the snapping fingers thing. But I think a lot of it is really quite nifty. And... hrm. Too many "Did he marry her or something" references. If it's true, you want to make it more subtle. If it's not, you have to have a good loophole. Now, whichever course they take - cause you know they haven't settled on one nor will for a season or five - people are going to complain.

"Everybody lives!" reference appreciated.

I adore Cal, I adore her world, I like Agent Smith Morpheus Dr. Moon, I think the two Daves stalking the Doctor was awesome, OhmiGodACTIONHERO!, Anita was predictable but interesting......
