1. Doctor Who toymakers, WHAT IS THIS?! I don't know what to think about it. On one hand, there is goo and goo is awesome, on the other there's a wee "collect all the parts!" sign where "all the parts" is the decapitated head and disembodied limbs of the Doctor.

2. [livejournal.com profile] jigglykat made awesome fanart of Madame Vastra and Jenny. I am going to PESSIMISTICALLY ASSUME they do not yet have their spin-off series. Forshame.

3. People are being Kind Of Scary about the Doctor Who scheduling change or whatever it is, which actually seems to know, cause there appears to be Very Little info. (But that doesn't mean you don't know exactly what those BBC execs are thinking! Of course you do, random Internet person, of course you do.) I saw a tweet from Lizo offa Newsround and then I went to look for more info and ended up in BAD PLACES where I wanted to either hide under my desk or hit my head on it. Here is a clue: the BBC does not work like an American network. Also I sometimes watch Who on iPlayer instead of the telly; this apparently means I'm not a real viewer or something.

5. When the Doctor Who on the telly stopped I really, really wanted more shiny new Who which meant Big Finish. So I listened to some. Which was fine. Except now Erimem has gone and I HATE BIG FINISH. They took the Best of Their Companions from me and I am sad. Though it was quite nice that though I stopped listening cause the stories were getting worryingly consistent in their mehness, this last run, from Son of the Dragon through to the HORRID DEPARTURE OF BELOVED ERIMEM were almost all pretty good. Even the one with bloody Evelyn in it. Bit amused when I thought "gosh, she's really not been very annoying this ep" and it turned out she'd been replaced by an evil shapechanger, heh. Ahem.

Anyway, once I get over my bitterness there, if anyone has any post-The Bride of Peladon recs, that'd be dead nifty.

6. Why is all the telly gone? Doctor Who, The Borgias, and Camelot are finished for the year (omg, Camelot - HOW AWESOME WERE YOU?), Camelot possibly forever, or I've heard no news of a renewal anyway, boooo. And Game of Thrones only has one ep left. Woes.

NGL, as disturbing as that toy is, I kind of want it. I HAVE NO NEED FOR THE TORSO, BRING ME THE DISEMBODIED LIMBS AND HEAD OF ELEVEN IN GOO. I don't even understand WHY they are in parts.

OMG, everyone needs to chill the fuck out about this 2012 nonsense. Do they not remember only a couple of years ago when there was a year of Specials? We survived that, we can survive this.

I'm out of TV to watch too. I was just lamenting this last night. I tried a couple of shows to hold me over in the meantime, but NOTHING IS SATISFYING.

(Thanks for the plug!)

I want it purely so Tom Baker's swappable head has some company. He lingers alone, rolling around in the desk drawer, alas!

There was Much Headdesking at all the various and sundry Motivations attributed as to The Why. Also, I was tots oblivious to anyone being, uh, unchilled about it from my actual flist and twitfeed. GOING INTO THE WILD IS SCARY.

Well, it's pretty awesome, y'know.
