    Passing through here, Leo. Did you ever join the Who site? I've been in & out (more out).

    Hey there, Leo--Sorry, I haven't been around the board since the beginning of the month. Yeah, Who is a phenomenon, I can;t think of another way to describe its impact. As much as its appreciated here in the US, its on a whole other scale in the UK. I did like Mary Tamm as Romana I--there was that elegance & sophistication which is funny when you consider that Lalla Ward's dad was Viscount Bangor, and yet she played someone a bit more playful, kittenish (that's the way I saw her anyway). And the Key to Time was an interesting plot device, I agree. A whole season devoted to a single quest--then again, coming in the age of concept albums I suppose it was also inevitable.

    I've been lucky--I've had BBC America for nearly 7 years now, even after switching cable providers (I'm now on U-verse so now I'll also theoretically be able to catch the new Torchwood on Starz next year--assuming I like U-verse by then and they don't jack the price up too high on me). The new series seems to either irk people or make them smile. It made me smile, for what that's worth. And both of my nieces adore Matt Smith (my older niece is sick of me calling her Amy (tho' she complains while hiding a smirk), but the little one like me calling her Amelia--when you see the shows you'll understand). The girls & I just had a 3 day marathon of Who--we caught something from nearly every doctor from Hartnell on (no McGann tho')--thankfully I save the season finale on my DVR.

    I'd have loved a 2d season with Eccleston myself, but he only agreed to play the role if it was for just 1 season. I guess he wanted to be one of those few who was The Doctor, but didn't want to loose too much time with his film career or wind up getting typecast. I can respect that, but it feels a lot like we hardly got to know Doc 9.

    The End of Time was absolutely brilliant! Yep. I am hoping we haven't seen the last of Bernie Cribbins. For that matter I'm hoping Tennant's departure doesn't mean we've seen the last of Jenny ("The Doctor's Daughter"). I have a theory that River is Jenny. I imagine a lot of people have that same theory though! Dalton was absolutely brilliant as well. I am hoping that Gallifrey returns again, and that Dalton reprises the role of Rassilon. That was just too good; as was seeing the Doctor's mother there.

    As for being a member of FTV, I'm not at the moment, unfortunately. I have missed out of some very lovely gentlewomen the past several months. I moved a couple months ago, changed ISP/Cable cos, and had some other expenses I hadn't planned on that took a toll. And I'm thinking about Christmas now for my nieces which means socking funds aside for them (there's a Tardis playset coming out in Sept. that I know my younger niece would go ga-ga over, and I now have enough to afford it while its available--these things seem to come & go very quickly). I had seen Aslyn Rae in some Girlfriend's Films releases and thought she was astoundingly lovely in them, so I'm learning to be patient and hoping to join FTV again, even for a month, sometime after I've made sure Christmas presents are sorted out--maybe a Christmas gift to myself. I'll have to keep an eye out for this Alley you mentioned as well, eh!

    Cheers!

    I'd seen Ms Rae in some Girlfriend's Films videos in recent months and was immediately taken with her natural effortlessness. Too often you get that feel that the woman is holding something back, but my take on Ms R from her videos was that she is just who she is and that was pretty refreshing. I know there's at least 1 more GFF video to be released soon, but I hope that's not her swan song (likewise I'm holding out hope that sometime relatively soon she'll make her way back north so Rob has another opportunity to work with her).

    As for sci fi, I was watching Caprica and found myself comparing it too often to BSG. BSG was a brilliant, gritty show that just grabbed you by the collar and shouted "Come on!" in your face and dragged you along. Not may shows of any genre can do that. So shorter, yep I'm still going through some BSG withdrawls as well. But having said that, my A#1 favourtie show was and continues to be Dr. Who. I liked Matt Smith & Karen Gillan in the lead roles & liked the sense of humour. I thought that was the best pair since Chris Eccleston & Billie Piper when they re-launched the show, and I thought that the best pair since Tom Baker & Lis Sladen way, way, way back. My nieces are huge Who fans as well. The sad thing is that now we have to wait 'til Dec. for the next episode, and then another couple months for the next season. C'est la vie ...Cheers

    Welcome back, amigo. So Ashlyn's update was that good? Somehow I'm not surprised. I've seen a few of her GG films now and she is just simply lovely and natural. I am chomping at the bit to see how things panned out with Rob (he is a master, so I'm sure I'll be gobsmacked, and I don't say that often). Anyway, cheers having ya back, Leo.

    If you haven't seen The Eleventh Hour yet, I think you'll be pleased. If I have to sum the episode up in a word it would be "Promising". Two words: "very promising". I managed to see it early yesterday when it premiered in the UK (thank you English cousin & thank you Skype!). Cheers
