The important stuff Elayna and I talk about on the way to the bus stop
Elayna: I can't believe I have to wait until Christmas for new Doctor Who!

Me: You realize that's just a one-shot, right?

Elayna: What?!?

Me: And there'll be three more movies in 2009, but no new series until 2010.

Elayna: No way! But David Tennant might leave by then!

Me: Well, we know he's signed for all the 2009 movies, at least.

Elayna: I'm not ready for another Doctor. Tennant was my first.

Also, she remains offended that Astrid Peth is considered a companion, but Jabe from "The End of the World" is not.

Incidentally, we also discussed this video, which [info]shadesong showed us last night. It represents the perfect intersection of Elayna's two major fandoms -- Wicked and Doctor Who.

(Although I should note that Elayna is starting to rack up fandoms -- she's already excited about coming home on Sunday to watch episodes of Eureka and Middleman on the Tivo, and I've gotten her hooked on Girl Genius. And that doesn't even take into account the insane amount of anime/manga she consumes.)

ETA: And yes, she's seen Eccleston, but she started with "Voyage of the Damned."

I am suddenly overcome with the urge to buy this shirt for your daughter.

Oh, that's perfect! I think that'll be one of her holiday presents this year. Thanks for pointing it out!

That would be the genius that is [info]redscharlach.

(ETA: Although her site seems to be borked today. Oh dear.)

Well, if it's any consolation for Elayna, Tennant has expressed interest in playing the Doctor until they haul him off the set in a coffin.

True, but last I heard, no one is signed for the 2010 season yet.

Yay for people watching Middleman. I keep trying to get people to watch it so I can giggle about Mark Dacascos's career path with them.

Eureka exists again?
I gave up after it going off air for a while before all the craziness w/ writers happened.

Yeah, Eureka is back. I watched it for a while when it first started, then gave up on it. Then when a friend kept telling me to give it another try, I did. Same result. I just couldn't bring myself to care. The premise is intriguing, and I think I ought to like it, but...eh.

Actually, I think of Jabe as a companion myself. She was great, and tragic. Elayna's right about her deserving status.

Lee.

Yeah, I've managed to hook my son on Girl Genius. And I caught him reading Goblins when I came over here to kick him off and read the morning, erm, news.

Webcomics all around! =)

[NODS] Indeed. The rest are all fictions created by the BBC.
