Oooh, it sounds sooooooooooooooooooooo dramatic, doesn’t it? “In a span of 48 hours, my life was totally, completely changed– changed for the better, I might add!” It’s true, though. Although the changes were by nature personal, some of them had something big to do with Doctor Who.
Oh, go on, you know you want the drama! Keep on reading, won’t you?

I’m keeping the First!Masquerade entry on pause for a bit longer, as I am reminded of a lot of Significant Fannish Anniversaries coming up in the near future. I want to get to the point in the telling of my fannish history where I can use the Significant Anniversary of an Event to be the reason for blogging about it.
(Yes, we’ll see how long that idea lasts, shall we?) Read the rest of this entry »

Twenty-five years ago today, the Federation (although we weren’t known as that yet) filmed its first fan video, “The Five Faces of Doctor Booh.” Gah, I feel old.
(I hope to get up to that day in my fannish memory blogging soon– now that the current season is over and all that…. And, really, it’s just an entry (or two) before I get there…..)

Dear Russell,
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. And please don’t mess up things any further in the upcoming specials– surely you’ve done enough damage!
Oh, okay, I suppose you want to know all the gorey details vis a vis my opinion….

Sorry. Am still too angry over what happened to Donna to be able to write about the season finale in any coherent fashion. (My only comfort is that, despite the on-the-surface fairy tale ending, Rose pretty much got dumped on, too.) HMPH!

Well, the little Viewing Society I’m in is going to watch the 2nd half of the story on Saturday night (magic pixie delivery elves allowing) instead of waiting for the following Monday as usual. That is how powerful the episode (and its cliffhanger) was.
Let’s go for all the details, shall we?

Oh, I’m such a spud. Every time I hear (or think of) the episode name, I get Michael Jackson (back when he was still an African-American male) in my head going “It’s after midnight– SQUEAK!” You’d think I’d be cooler and be repeating some obscure Babylon 5 reference. (Well, obscure only ’cause I haven’t seen the series since it went off the air, although apparently I am about to be dragged into rewatching it with my daughter, as we’ve finished going through Monty Python’s Flying Circus and she wanted something more science-fictiony as the next choice. I tried to persuade her toward Star Trek: The Next Generation, but she’s proving to be her father’s daughter as well as her mother’s.)
I feel badly– I really do– that “Thriller” keeps popping into my head every time I think of the episode, because, really, it was a much better episode than that. Allons-y!
