- Right now, Patty will be arriving 3 hours later, which sucks, as she'll be even more tired and we'll lose the evening.

- Finished Doctor Who, series 3. Lots to process there. Woah. Now at least I get why people write really dirty porn featuring the Master. Also, great, GREAT use of pop music. And loving the Jack/Doctor ex-bf drama. I mean, really!

- Next story in the TW series I am doing with Kali is almost done. It's batshit insane and scorching hot.

- Paid bills. Booked cable repair appointment.

and that's all I've got!

Re: THAT IS THE MOST BRILLIANT IDEA EVER.

Well, I don't view the Doctor as a hero. I think Nine was incredibly dark and that Ten is actually darker because it's less obvious, but he is brutal and ruthless and even if he's usually struggling against that, when he's not, he snaps into a very dark, albeit necessary, place.

And really, who's to say Swinton would even need to play the Doctor as a woman (or a man for that matter).?

Most excellent of points!
And the BBC doesn't get nearly enough mail from outraged simpletons anyway.

Since my impressions of the Doctor were formed in 1963, I can't go with you very far down that road, no matter how dark it gets. Were the creators to go all the way down that road, I could admire it artistically, and enjoy it. I just wouldn't really believe it.
My limitation, and not yours.

Well, yes and no. because I'm only beginning to entertain the idea of being willing to watch old Who. I think it's reasonable to say that people who have only seen the new show are working from an entirely different (and acceptably self-contained as opposed to incomplete) canon, than the people who have seen both.

Yes, entirely so. There are of necessity two canons.
But also, you were a fully formed adult, and I was a very young child.
