greetings

I'm back, which some of you know already as I've been leaving comments on people's posts. For some reason I haven't been feeling much like posting, though. Maybe because I don't have much to post about?

Anyway, how's it going? Let's see, what can I say?

I'm watching the BBC America special "Best of the Doctor" right now. It's a little weird; clips from S5 and S6 interspersed with "celebrities" (most of whom I don't know -- I'm so out of the loop) talking about the Doctor and Doctor Who in general. I'm a little bored by it (which is why I'm posting during it). I think it's mostly geared towards new viewers who need an introduction to the show, but then I wonder if any new viewers would be bothering to watch it.

Ooh, my favorite "Law and Order UK" commercial just came on. "Out of the police box, into the courtroom" intones the narrator, as they show us close-ups of Peter Davison and Freema. It's Doctor Who as a courtroom drama! Maybe I have to watch it now.

Okay, this special is picking up a little bit finally. It's still fairly mindless to watch, but fun to see the clips, and Chris Hardwick is complaining about how Steven Moffat is driving him crazy, which is amusing. He doesn't know how Moffat is going to write his way out of what happened at the beginning of "The Impossible Astronaut." He's looking directly at the camera and kind of whining, "Steven." I think we're all feeling that way, Chris!

Oh, and now the special's over. Well, that killed an hour. I should go do something productive now, shouldn't I?
