Although I'm kinda concerned that I'm 60% Redshirt :S

So, to sum up: good to know there's not (at the moment) going to be some sort of mass exodus to Dreamwidth. :)

I've been a bit slow to notice, but is everyone moving over to Dreamwidth?

So, managed to swing seeing it again. :D This isn't really a review or anything, but more me wanting to get my thoughts down about it.

( Extreme spoilers behind the cut... )

Here ends the geeky ramblings, other than to say that I really need another Star Trek icon. :D

Given that it's now been, oh, two and a half hours since I came out the cinema, I can't believe I've only just got around to saying: It. Was. Awesome.

!!!!!!!!!!

I'll come back when I'm more coherant. XD

*notices Highlander:The Source on BBC1*

Umm...

*studiously ignores it*

If I don't watch it, it doesn't exist. ;)

A bit delayed, I know - blame my crashed laptop for that - but I loved the Battlestar finale. And seem to be in the minority for it, but aside from the fact that I generally like everything I see and don't find much fault with it, it may also be down to the fact that there's not going to be any more (Caprica aside) and I was going to love whatever they put down in front of me.

( The rest behind the cut, because it's turned out far longer than I meant... )

Having just seen the trailer and the first few minutes of the Spanish Life on Mars, it's kind of weird to watch with the fact that they look like they literally have stolen John Simm's costume. I wouldn't mind watching it but doubt they'll subtitle it so this is probably as far as it goes for me. Still, I LOVE the fact that Spanish Sam goes back in time to Bohemian Rhapsody. :D

In regards to the US version, I did see the unreleased pilot and the remade version, as well as the episode after that. Obviously, I couldn't help but compare it to the UK version, but it did seem to be doing its best to break out and be something different while borrowing ideas. It might be for the best that it's been cancelled - and I don't say that because I don't want to see it run longer than ours ever did - but considering the basic premise of the show it's not really feasible to keep Sam in the past and the audience's attention for the duration of more than a few series. I'm just curious now as to how it'll end, because I doubt they'll go the same was as the original.

I'll be honest; not even when he played, I've never seen Martin Johnson as angry as I had during the match today. The 'lip reading' incident is the sort of stuff that's a consequence of matches on tv but after the second sin binning I would not want to be the person on the other end of his after match talk.

I quite like this for a result, though I wouldn't exactly describe myself as a feminist. That's not to say I distance myself from it, just that that's probably a bit strong a word for me. Athena probably describes me a little too.

God I love snow.

Sorry to bore any non-Who fans with this.

( yet more spoilers for series five/six: )

lmao they were bang on when there'd be someone out there who didn't have a clue who the Eleventh Doctor was.

( spoilers )

The Eleventh Doctor is going to be announced on BBC1 this evening, and I find myself apprehensive as to who it's going to be. :S

ETA: It's occured to me that the past two Doctors have been picked by RTD and were both previously in something he'd written. Maybe Moffat will do the same thing?

My cat is, at this moment, being horribly cute. Which means sometime soon she's going to get Evil. With a capital E, for sure.

Also, I swear she must have the loudest purr for a cat her size. Seriously, it's like a motorbike or something.

Why is it that throat lozenges always say that you can't take them more than once every couple of hours because of side effects etc - but they only seem to work while you have them in your mouth?

So it's apparently five years to the day since England won the World Cup; I'll hold onto that instead of what happened this afternoon. In fact, I may choose to block it from my mind altogether.

The decorations at Chatsworth were very pretty, with extra stuff based on silhouettes. I don't know if it's just my camera, but the flash tended to make everything look dark and washed out. I managed to stay still enough for most of the photos if I took the flash off, but it's just annoying to have to pick between totally clear pictures or slightly blurred ones if I want to keep things looking warm and nice. Outside it was bloody freezing though, and despite the fact we were forecast snow we haven't seen any between here and Chatsworth at all. I'm glad we got there early for it, because we went in as soon as the house opened at ten and when we came out an hour later there were people everywhere and cars queuing onto the main road to get in. I can't imagine that resulting in a nice visit at all, especially since it's that cold I can't imagine many people wanting to walk round the gardens.
