May contain spoilers and whatnot
It is way too wet and cold to be June. Seriously.
TV's been dull for a long, long time. Spoilers leek out, everyone knows what's coming through constant foreshadowing and online alternate reality games, forumgoers pick apart trivia and rumour, so that even surprising twists seem a little bit predictable.
But I've just watched Utopia.
Suffice it to say, it was incredible. So fantastic, in fact, that I've spent the last two hours discussing it with Sam. We scared the crap out of my sister when we started yelling about the Silver Devastation and how the Face of Boe must be involved. Sam tells me that a mutual friend has asked to join our Skype call because he wants to "hear us screaming like schoolgirls" about the contents of the episode. Actually, that's kind of creepy but I understand what he meant.
I'm not really going to say much tonight because I haven't had time to gather my thoughts since I've spent too much time talking about Doctor Who. I haven't done a woodle for tonight either, but I'm going to let an interesting discussion in real life take precedence over this blog. I'm sure that all kinds of things will come up that I can talk about tomorrow.
Until then here's an abstract thought:
How many hours must a geek spend discussing Doctor Who before he is a geek?
Okay, it's not an abstract thought but I've got nothing else unless I steal Sam's line about respecting fire. Which I don't want to do.
So, here's a quote from The Doctor:
