Mmm Matt Smith is good...well they're all good
@Amber: Next saturday is the last episode...it's a two part series finale and ooo I can't wait. Aren't you two episodes behind in the US or something?
Yeah, about that. "Vincent and the Doctor" broadcasts on BBC America on Saturday.
Which, by the way, BBC America is playing Star Trek: The Next Generation - how is this a British show?!? Gee, just because Stewart got a knighthood apparently means people go nuts or something. Play some Fry and Laurie, for goodness sakes! Or Jeeves and Wooster! Ahem - moving on.
"Matt Smith may actually rival DT in the preternatural ability to convey aeons of soulfulness and sorrow in a two-second glance."
That's a completely fair assessment. One thing that I can see now that I've been watching Smith as Doctor is that Tennant really was really over the top with the drama and angst. That's not a bad thing, its a Tenth Doctor personality thing, and Smith appears to play the drama more subtly. The times where Eleven has yelled seemed, what, put on? I don't know.
But I'm definitely on "Team Matt Smith is a Perfectly Fine Doctor, Thank You Very Much"
Hey now, don't dis Picard :P
I don't have BBCA, so I wasn't aware they aired ST-TNG. Maybe it's something to do with an upcoming Patrick Stewart project? Maybe someone's just seen RSC's Hamlet and is now a big fan. They don't play Jeeves and Wooster, because programmers presume the Wodehouse and wordplay would be over the average American's head. Yes, I've actually had this conversation. Maybe they are right. But then, in my opinion, the average American isn't watching BBC America anyway. Still, the explanation doesn't wash for several reasons, like how they explain the rest of their schedule, because the average American wouldn't be watching anything else they run, either, especially if they haven't run it yet... and I used to watch J&W all the time, for YEARS, on PBS. I had my own copy of the recent set for a while. :) I reviewed it so I got to keep it for free, but then I was broke at the holidays so I stupidly gave it to my brother-in-law as a gift. :( I need another. I do have the complete remastered Blackadder, though :)
Re: Eleven yelling. I think it's less "put on" than it is that this personality just loathes it. He's been through all the angsty drama as Ten, and he prefers to keep things lighter and more surface. That "put on" thing is Matt Smith's method of conveying Eleven's reluctance...
Or something.
HOLY CRAP WHAT AN UNHOLY MESS!!! WOW!!!
I apologize for this affront to the whole of the human history of design!
And it's true. A lot of those photos have captions that are untrue, but not this one.
[Side Note: Just got "King of All of the World", by Old 97s, dedicated to me unexpectedly on a late-night radio show. :) Pardon me while I do an Unplanned Happy Dance... Oh there's more!
This may take a while...]
Okay. Happy Dances complete. Three songs! No idea why, but I am not gonna complain. Back to Who. I can get behind the idea of Eleven being more self-aware. He also more distant (understandably), so he doesn't get quite as involved as Ten, or he tries not to, that's why I think that when he yells it's reluctance we're seeing.
Now to see what happens after the maths. Many boxes, maybe?
YAY IT WORKED! Thanks!
I'll reply with actual content later, but for now:
Hey, as far as I'm concerned, this IS content! Quirky, delicious content (and it's Pattinson free! For fangirls watching their figures. And by figures, I mean Math Required.
).
Not news or anything, just a comment after watching Vincent and the Doctor:
Doctor Who needs to stop this disturbing trend of making me cry. Three times I teared up during this episode, three times!
I do, however, like the idea of 'the ultimate ginger', but that's another story.
Speaking of gingers,
I come bearing a boon, to make your Monday happy (but it's not the Happy Mondays):
No spoilers. I promise.
In either post. The first is just me being emotional (no details) and the second is video of Matt Smith being my hero on stage at Glastonbury (he does say "wibbly wobbley, timey wimey", but no other Doctor information).

Moffet you are killing me!!! Damn BBC and their funky, illogical, maddening television schedules!
BTW, since the fifth series is over, even in America - thoughts? How did Matt Smith do? Anyone Team Rory? Are bowties indeed cool?
Bowties are cool. No, really, bowties are cool.
I adore Rory. Not on "Team Rory" per se, but I love the guy!
There's a guy at my college who dresses like the tenth doctor. But today he wore a red bowtie with his costume...I'm just waiting for him to get a fez hat :D
Oh and aparently he has a sonic screwdriver too, how cool is that?
Fezzes are cool.
NO RIVER DON'T SHOOT MY...
hat.
And, indeed, how about that split second fez destroying plan taking place with mere glances between River and Amy! =D
Holy fraking crap it's blue!!! The site is all blue... wait a minute...
"re" release: something old,
new material: something new,
the remixes? borrowing stems?: something borrowed,
AND SOMETHING BLUE!!
Holy crap it's the TARDIS!!!!
