miscellany time

Miscellany post, and here we go:

-- "Claws of Axos" is on its way via Netflix, due to arrive tomorrow! Yay, I've been in the mood for some Third Doctor. Sadly, though, I have to confess that I actually have no idea if I've ever seen this episode before. I know it's Third Doctor, I know it has the Master in it, and um, presumably Axons, and claws? It's really quite possible that I've never seen it. It's also possible that I'll start watching and go "oh yeah, this one." Anyway, I'm looking forward to it, especially since as of right now I have no idea what happens in the story. Oooh, maybe aliens will try to invade the Earth, and the Doctor will stop them!

-- Saw "Planet of the Dead" in the official BBC America premiere, and actually liked it better than the first time I (unofficially) saw it. Although I did keep thinking of the Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre's parody while I was watching, which meant I laughed at strangely inappropriate moments (especially when that alien hand was poking at the video monitor). Anyway, BBC America should be happy to know that despite having seen it before, I a) DVR'ed it; b) VCR'ed it (partly as back-up, partly because I'm moving soon and the DVR is going bye-bye); and c) watched the whole thing at the actual time of broadcast, including sitting through every damn one of those eharmony.com commercials. And what was up with those, anyway? Is there this belief that Doctor Who fans are all single or something? (And okay, yes I am single, but really not the point.)

-- Several people on my flist recently celebrated LJ anniversaries, which inspired me to go back and figure out when I made my first LJ post, since I didn't know. And, um, yeah, turns out I totally missed the one-year anniversary (it was July 8, in case anyone wants to know). Also I re-read my very first post, which contained a lot of whinging about how my fanfic writing was going, the Doctor Who broadcast schedule, and avoiding spoilers. So, not much has changed in the past year . . . ; )

-- I'd offer up something to celebrate my little-over-a-year LJ anniversary, but I already force commentaries on people with my "first draft" posts, and if I were to offer to write people something based on a prompt, it would probably be another year before anything came out of it. But if anyone has any ideas, I'm open to suggestion!
