  • Due to feeling utterly dreadful, I started playing Peep Show in the background and pretended it was a radio show. And discovered I hadn't seen the last two episodes of season six. FIFTY MINUTES OF NEW LOLS. Like a freebie! Also, actually a freebie, and legal, ta v much 4OD.

  • Finally the Doctor Who and Torchwood Tonner dolls have pikshurs. Scary, scary pikshurs, mostly. At least Martha is not scary, and I'm not going to buy her obviously, cause that would be silly. But I might. Umm. Yes. Good.

  • I've been playing a lot of Star Trek Online. It's a decidedly average game that I'm only enjoying because I am a v ashamed Trek liking sort of person and the game is V V Not Afraid to Go For Broke on Any Old Canon It Likes (NPCs include Miral Paris, Kirayoshi O'Brien, Leonard James Akaar...Mackenzie Calhoun, who I was under the impression was dead, but apparently not.)

    The ground combat is meh, but the spaceship battles are actually pretty nifty and well-balanced. Plus, novelty value. And there've been a couple of missions that were really quite good (as opposed to scanning five fucking anomalies again), like going through through Guardian of Forever and helping out the Enterprise before shooting down a whole lot of TOS!Klingons. Heh. Ahem.

  • I am alternately Yay and Fuck Off at the post-XI Primeverse canon though. But then I hate everything canon has done to the Romulans since they decided that the chairman of the Tal Shiar was a Federation spy for NO PARTICULAR REASON then they assassinated the Senate and then they blew up the homeworld. Also, fucking Remans.

  • On the bright side, Natima Lang's now the head of the Cardassian Detapa Council. I like that.

  • From Noel Clarke's Twitter, teaser trailer for Centurion which is Neil Marshall's new film and, omg, he is awesome and makes movies that are basically ALL I EVER WANT FROM MOVIES EVER. Thus far he has created Dog Soldiers (Kevin McKidd + Sean Pertwee + Scotland + werewolves = OMG!AWESOME), Descent ("Heh," thinks Marshall, "how come there aren't many horror movies about groups of women what are great friends?" So he does the sensible thing and goes and makes one), Doomsday (CRACKTASTIC POST-APOCALYPTIC MADNESS. Also, Glaswegian cannibals). So, basically, what could he POSSIBLY make now that could top any of that? ROMANS. With Noel Clarke. Looking like this.

  • It is like two weeks til Gally. That is plainly ridiculous.

Yay someone else playing Star Trek: Online! Yay!

The only bad thing about the Centurion trailer is that the bits with Noel makes me think he won't survive the film. Which makes me sad. I hope that I am proven wrong.

AND YAY GALLY! I am so excited. SO excited.

YESSSS NEIL!! Why oh why is he not directing "Dune"? :( Noel Clarke looks like he has a significant part in this. I also love how this looks like it could push his career to huge star status of all the Who alumni, I'm glad it's him. Mickey Smith on the big screen in like Lincoln, Nebraska? YES PLS!

With just that one picture I have gone from "hmm, maybe I'll see Centurion" to "why am I not watching Centurion RIGHT NOW?" Right, off to rent all Neil Marshall's other films while I wait...

From: [identity profile] rhipowered.livejournal.com
oh god, that Tonner Ten is terrible.

Also--I'm sort of irritated at Primeverse for getting Picard and Crusher officially together (and now I want to use my P/C UST icon as well as the DT WTF one...crap), and then the apparently logical conclusion of BABEIZ. fucking hell.

I wound up watching Dog Soldiers when I saw it show up in our cable guide specifically because I remembered your rave review. So I'll definitely keep an eye out for Centurion.
