sweet effay

I’ve been away immersing myself in the murky waters of Our Nation’s Capital. Still trying to get over the culture shock and return to Real Life, or whatever it is we do around here. The bad news is that, once again, I returned to discover an all-but-ruined computer; the good news is that it’s not mine, but that of my brother-in-law. I am being very sympathetic, but this one is way beyond my help.

Whilst I’m trying to fall far enough back into normality to actually write something rather than just lounging around with a pair of headphones nailed to my ears, check out this by Mark K-P, which is pretty much spot-on apart from the fact that he’s wrong about Sylvester McCoy (at least, in the final series); not all Fantasy is shit, just most of it; and he fails to mention the most famous unheimlich Dr Who scene of all:

For those who aren’t as hip as the rest of us, that Dalek is coming out of the Thames and the picture doesn’t really do the scene justice.

If children’s sci-fi doesn’t do it for you, then check out Merrick’s piece here, which is simply the best thing I’ve read online in ages.
