A Doctor Who Easter

Not only is the new series starting today. Not only is there a run of Tom Baker repeats on Sci-Fi[1]. Not only is the new K9 series on Disney XD. But fans of Big Finish audios can see the Eighth Doctor and Lucie Miller reunited in tomorrow's Jonathan Creek!


[1]Yes, the UK Sci-Fi Channel, in a fit of sanity, has elected not to start calling itself "SyFy".

K-9

Well, luckily I knew about the setting and characters from the DWM article, because Disney XD have decided either a) It's not worth taking the trouble to broadcast the episodes in the right order, or 2) It's not worth buying the pilot at all.

One you've got past the unintentional in media res, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't really anything special either, IMO. It's tempting to call it "An Australian near-future SJA, if Sarah was a male scientist and Rani's mum was with Torchwood". So that's what I'll do.

I got used to the new K9 design surprisingly quickly (although, again, it's a shame we missed the "regeneration scene"), and I'll definitely watch it again tomorrow.

Facebook just freaked me out.

I just got an e-mail reminding me that someone whose name I don't recognise (not that that proves anything) has invited me to join Facebook.

What freaked me out was that underneath it said "Other people you may know on Facebook" and the first two names were my sister and a friend from college.

Seriously, how does Facebook know that?
