Steven Moffat Love/Hate
You are left alone in Steven Moffat’s office for 5 minutes. What do you do? Install a program on his computer that randomly pops up messages saying things like “catch phrases and items of clothing are fun but are not character development”, “write people, not just plot lines” and “show, don’t tell”.

A Weirdness of Spikes
This is a tale of three Spikes. One is a cartoon dog. The next is Spike on Buffy, played by James Marsters. The last is Spike on Press Gang. Both those last two are characters for whom Spike is a nickname. Spike on Press Gang takes his nickname from the cartoon dog. The characters real name is James. Dexter Fletcher, who plays him, is English but his Spike is American. James Marsters is American, but his Spike is English. That Spike’s real name is William. The cartoon dog was created by a guy named William.

Bonekickers
If you didn’t watch Bonekickers then OMG, you missed one of the most appalling shows ever made. It was ace in all the wrong ways. But that sounds as if I’m recommending it… I’m not, I’m really not. It was basically the Da Vinci Code, but less intelligent and not as well written. *snort* Shame really as it was by the Life on Mars folks. (NB. The BF refers to Bonekickers as “Life on Uranus”) From BBC comments site for Bonekickers. “Well, if you get rid of the pathetic writers, the appalling actors, put it on another channel and give it a different name they might just be able to rescue…

How the Internet ruined the Doctor Who series 4 finale for it’s own biggest fans
This pretty much applies to any fandom, it’s just Who that’s brought it into sharp focus. For weeks and months leading up the finale, on fan sites up and down the land (and overseas) fans were watching and speculating and thinking, thinking, thinking. Puts “clues” together and forcing pieces to fit into patterns. We (yep, I’m definitely one of them) were thousands strong and one person’s dumb theory gave a gem of an idea to someone else, and that person’s theory may have been dumb too but they passed on a little more to someone else. Thousands of us, plotting and coming up with fantastical ideas that required no budget,…

Death for Who? Journey’s End Thoughts about Donna
I’m coming to believe that how you feel about the Doctor wiping Donna’s memories can be compared with how you feel about switching off a coma victim’s life support. (Except that the coma victim doesn’t normally beg you not to do it – unless they’re Sam Tyler, when they spend two whole series being emo about it [deliberate Life on Mars reference *wink*]. It’s the begging that makes this 100 times worse. If only she’d suggested it and forced HIM to do it, or even just had it presented as more of a choice and agreed to it.) It’s about quality of life. It’s about whether you think that life…

Everyone’s getting it wrong
Doctor Who isn’t really off for two weeks for Eurovision. They’re just really really crafty and this is the long waited for Doctor Who Eurovision episode set in the year 3000, where Stephen Moffat will finally reveal to us the deep dark secret of why Terry Wogan (still presenting it) cannot escape its sinister clutches!! Captain Jack and Captain John will find themselves transmated into this episode to sing “I Lost My Heart to A Starship Trooper”. Donna will sing “I will Survive”; she will be fabulous and we’ll all love her utterly… then she’ll slip off the stage and die a really pointless “Joss Whedon”-esque death that’s meant to…
