--Moving soon, so I've been busy packing, and I've also been discovering all sorts of interesting things -- like the fact that I have "Terror of the Zygons" on videotape. I'd completely forgotten that. Unfortunately, the tape has now gone into a box and I won't see it again for about six weeks. However, at least that's far sooner than when that episode will get released on DVD.

--I knew I didn't have "Android Invasion" since the tape that episode was on went boom. But I did find a "best of Tom Baker" videotape box set that I didn't remember I had that might have some clips from the episode. However, in a fit of zealous packing, I went ahead and put the box set into a box before checking on that. Probably for the best, though; I'd probably have wasted hours watching the whole box set if I hadn't.

--I'm not sure why I lost track of the videos I own -- whether it's because I now mostly go to the DVDs, or whether it's because I own too many videotapes. But I obviously need to have a good old-fashioned Tom Baker VHS marathon when the movers eventually show up with my boxes.

--Caught up on "Merlin" and saw the episode where Julian Bashir plays a bad guy. Of course, I mean the episode where the actor who played Julian Bashir plays a bad guy, but it's much more fun to say it was Julian Bashir. He actually did a very good job of being a villain, even though I kept (and keep) thinking of him as Julian Bashir. In fact, it put me in the mood to go back and watch the DS9 episode "The Passenger" so I could really see Julian Bashir being evil.

--It's looking good for my being able to post chapter 5 of "Turn Again" soon. It'll be a short chapter -- just a little over 1,000 words -- but I found a good place to break so it should be a true and proper chapter. Hopefully this will keep people interested in the fic until I return from my travels and have the chance to post chapter 6! It's also looking like chapter 6 might be the very last chapter. We'll see . . .

He was very good, yes. Sadly, my first thought on seeing him show up in Merlin was "Oh no, he's gone back to England! Does this mean I won't see him in U.S. shows anymore?" --and then I realized that I haven't seen him in any U.S. shows anyway since DS9. I'd sure like to, though, because I think he's a terrific actor.

Hooray for another chapter Well, part of the credit goes to you for giving me pushes . . . thanks!

Aw... Yes, he is a terrific actor. I've no idea what else he's done since DS9, apart from those two episodes of Merlin and Spooks. I'll have to check IMDB.
