Busy week ahead. Dinner with the Momster, blood donation, cocktail party. Next time to really relax is Friday.


I woke up with the words “Millennium Spheres” in my head. What are they? Fuel for a time machine? All I know is that I had to get them, or something awful would happen. Nothing specific, but I needed at least two, preferably more, if I could bring ’em back. I was given a messenger bag to tote them safely… I have no idea if it was special in any way… temperature controlled or lead-lined or whatnot.

Speaking of time travel, the New Dr Who leaked onto internet Yup. If you’ve got Bittorrent, it’s here.

I liked it just fine… The Sci-fi channel saying the quality was poor sounds more like “we don’t want to pay for good outside syndicated stuff, when we can produce really smelly dung in-house.” Nice job, and a megaton better than the Y2k thing they did on fox way back when.

The actor playing the Doctor is really good, his sidekick is cute, The Tardis is cool, he’s got a sonic screwdriver, and they cover “First Episode – Backstory” stuff really well. Plus, scary store manikins. (Rework of the Autons, if you want a spoiler, click.) The budget is low, but what the heck, it’s Dr. Who. Tin foil and paper mache has always been the norm, and it’s really not that bad.

I’ll be snatching more episodes until the quality drops to standard Sci-fi channel fare. (Like … Mansquito. He’s big like a man, but sucks blood like a mosquito! thanks, greenelvish!)
