better a time vortex than an evil twin...

[saturn]

I stopped on my way home from work to pick up Stargate Continuum. I'm so excited to have it in my hands. I'm almost completely unspoiled. I love time travel stories but I hate when time lines are messed up and no one believes the characters. It makes me very tense. (For the record, I also hate when characters are wrongly accused of of doing something bad/evil. There was an episode of Thundercats with Panthro's evil clone that I'm still uncomfortable thinking about. Evil clones & evil twins are the worst.) But, regardless, new Stargate is in my hands! With RDA, to boot!

I finished season 1 of Dr. Who and, for the record, I finally get it. Nine is awesome. If I'd fallen for Dr. Who in season one I would have been very, very sad to lose Nine. In fact, even loving Ten as I do, I was sad we didn't have more than 13 episodes with Eccelston.

I think the biggest surprise to me is the connection between Nine and Rose. There's a clear attraction between them that doesn't resonate for me in quite the same way with Ten/Rose. More broadly, Nine seems much more generally sexual than Ten. Watching Ten, I assumed that The Doctor was not just solitary but nearly asexual. I saw that he truly loved Rose but it didn't feel passionate or sexual. With Nine, I felt a passionate connection.

But Ten is still my doctor. He's so effusive and charming and his hair just can't be beat.

What's the story with SPN today? All I can gather is that it's something about Jensen's lawyer, fan sites, and a C&D letter. I have no details and I'll spare you my unproductive speculation. (But, oh, I do love to speculate!) I'm not even entirely sure why everything is suddenly locked down and I am one curious cat. ETA: Got it. (Links in comments.)

This is a very good week at work. It's crazy but good and I'm doing my best to enjoy all of it.

PS. Google made me smile today.
