Last Friday... was really not a good night. Thankfully, I made the discovery of the new Doctor Who on my Tivo, which saved me from an embarrassing incident of crying on my f-list's shoulder. Of course, being of the fannish mindset, just a few episodes would not do, oh no. I wound up watching the last third of season three, plus all of season four over the long weekend. I officially love Donna Noble, former bridezilla and her pseudo-sibling relationship with the Doctor. And am sorely disappointed that we (likely) won't see her again.

Of course, I watched everything completely out of order, so I've still got the first half of season three to watch, most of season two, and all of season one to watch. Probably says something good about the series that I can hop around like this.

Loved Torchwood's guest appearance in the Who finale (oh, Jack, giving your team big group hugs as you sadly announce that everyone's going to die?), and am now considering tracking down Sarah Jane Adventures, just so I have something to occupy my mind. I would love to be writing, but I'm afraid my frame of mind is just not with it enough (and I had the perfect entry for John Sheppard and interior decorating over at

Most of this week is going to feel like twiddling my thumbs until Thursday afternoon.

Oh, man, I can't even begin to describe how much of a lifesaver Doctor Who was this past weekend. I sort of started on a Martha episode, then got sucked into the rest of the series. I'd seen Donna a week or so ago when they aired "Runaway Bride" on BBCA (which includes one of my favorite lines: "Blah blah blah technobabble blah blah and in the time I've known you, you've never been so quiet" *Ten looks up to empty hallway*")

Donna has to get her happy ending, because seriously, that's so not fair! It's not just cutting out all the things she experienced, and you could tell how happy she was traveling with the Doctor, but she was forced to regress. I think "Turn Left" established that she was capable of growth on her own without the Doctor, but still... ouch.

And how can we not have more Doctor and Donna adventures? I mean, the charades conversation they had in 4x01 was hysterical. I have so much flaily love for Donna! :D
