Oh, and
If you're in the US, have cable, and haven't yet seen the highly enjoyable revival of Doctor Who, it starts playing on the Sci-Fi Channel tomorrow night at 9, with the first two episodes back to back.
There's a lot to like in the first two episodes, which do a good job of introducing the characters and premise as well as providing the necessary "not your father's Doctor Who" kick, but they do have some loose plotting and cheesy elements; on the whole they're fairly characteristic of the writing of series producer Russell T. Davies. If you're still uncertain after seeing those, I'd recommend hanging on through the excellent third episode that airs next week, Mark Gatiss's "The Unquiet Dead".

Dr. Who on SciFi

Yeah, I'm curious to see how Sci-Fi will reformat this series. From recent listinc changes and past history, t seems not unlikely they'll edit together the first two episodes, on first showing.
Also, mant to mention earlier: I've been curious about Quatermass for a while, ever since I read the Restoration Team's article on it. Doesn't seem like it'll be released here anytime soon, meaning I either have to turn to shady means or import the DVD (which could prove expensive -- though hey, it could be worth it, maybe). Neat to see it obliquely name-checked in The Christmas Invasion, even if I really don't know more than I've read about the series.
