It's alright. Knowing Joe, he was probably far too busy thinking about how to bring about Brent Weeks' downfall to notice anything that was going on around him. :D

Yeeeessss...:p

I wondered where they'd gone... Mind you, given how much I was rabbiting on, I'd be surprised if your ears were any better off! :D I'll just echo what everyone else has said. I'm so pleased Alc found me on Saturday, as otherwise I might have missed meeting up with so many lovely people...

And I'll just add my name to the list of those pleasantly surprised. This was a huge improvement on last week's awfulness, and it was nice to see an episode with a little complexity to its plotting. Got to agree with Perp on how the Ponds seemed to have outgrown the Doc a bit, too - in fact he...

*sigh* That was...I really can't think of a word for it. Oh, wait. I can. It was awful. Someone really, really needs to tell Chris Chibnall he can't write. It's getting embarrassing.:(

No need. While we saw her, the Doctor didn't; he just heard her voice (which is odd in itself, as I'm not sure how her voice would sound human over the comm system. She was, after all, only human in her "dream"). Agreed. I reckon Moff's planned this well in advance, though how he's going to...

Apparently I'm Wash. I suspected as much.:D

Just back from seeing Headhunters. A totally ludicrous film, but if you turn your brain onto its lowest setting and just go with it, it's nicely-paced, slightly gory fun.:)

I wonder if we're all missing a trick here. What if what we all saw was exactly what happened? Maybe Holmes did drop off the roof, and maybe it is him we see bloodied on the street thereafter. What if the trick is not how he faked his own death, but how he survived a very real fall? Just a...

Not to mention the fact that it seemed like hundreds of people following Rothfuss's blog voted - judging by the comments, anyway. In terms of Abercrombie, I think he was on the list. I've a sneaking suspicion I voted for Best Served Cold.

Amazon might be wrong (wouldn't be the first time), but given the fact that it's been delayed so much already - and given the reasons behind the delays - I wouldn't like to bank on it.

Not to be the bearer of bad news, but it's down as March 2012 for the hardcover on Amazon, November 2012 for the paperback.

Sorry. Couldn't in all conscience let that one pass...:D

Totally agree with Buscemi. Excellent character actor. As for my faves...I'd probably have to go with Gene Hackman (for Popeye Doyle and a whole host of other excellent performances), and Sigourney Weaver.

Re: 32:13 The Wedding of River Song (Spoliers) Still trying to make my mind up on this one. I agree with what most have said about it being good fun and about there being some good dialogue, but I turned off last night feeling vaguely unsatisfied. Not dissatisfied, as such: I didn't dislike...

Yeah, I think this is where most of my literary disappointments stem from, too. Most recently, I have to say, they've come from the pen of a certain Iain Banks. I loved - still love - a good portion of his early books, both his SF and non-genre stuff, but in the last few years he seems (to my...

And thirded. Worst ep of the series, for my money, and by some considerable distance. A couple of fun moments, but for the most part I found the writing very heavy-handed, the performances (including Smith's) pretty poor and the pre-ending ending utterly cringe-and-vomit inducing. To be...

For an anti-hero with a capital A, I reckon you could do worse than have a look at Anthony Burgess' A Clockwork Orange (1962).

Couldn't argue with that idea, Py. I understand Carey Mulligan's a bit busy these days, though...:p

I probably shouldn't point out that, should Amy and Rory really be properly gone, then it kind of leaves a space open for a new companion. A River Song-shaped space, perhaps? Oh. Woops.:p:D
