Doctor Who

Well that sounds like a crappy couple of days.

Also the fall semester is coming up, and I need to get ready to go back to work for that.

On the bright side, the Doctor Who club is going to meet to watch Deep Breath.

They're checking to see if they can get a nearby cinema and a school van.

Y'know, I was about to post something to the effect of 'I see where he was coming from on that article, but it's kind of faulting the episode for something that isn't actually related to this episode', but then you made the quoted post, and, well, yeah, that's a damned good point. The episode totally does act as if the families problems are solved despite them still having to deal with poverty, and although the Doctor can't reasonably stop poverty from being a thing, he could at least acknowledge that there's still a problem there.

I still think it's funny how hilariously this crashed and burned.

Woot Colin Baker!

Patreon reviews!

This is the first I ever heard there was a planned comics line for FP. What exactly happened to it?

...I think I've mentioned it before.

There were only two issues.

I'm given to understand it wasn't actually very good.

And regardless of quality, it didn't sell very well either.

Hence only lasting two goddamned issues.

I would have expected for you to have read it. Huh.

They're really fucking hard to find.

And I have too much estrogen to be treated with respect in most comic shops.

You can order them off of amazon, it seems.

No need to ever socially interact. Especially with comic shops.

...Huh.

Hm. Might want to double check before ordering.

I only found issue 1 on amazon. For twenty bucks, eesh.

I remember looking for the comics and seeing them available for ~$100.

$20 is still too fucking much though.

It seems the only solution is to invent time travel, go back to when it was first released, get some copies while it was new and then go back to the future.

Or illegal piracy.

Or haunted hunting through longboxes.

But trying to get a reasonably priced obscure out of print thing, I know that feel.

Regardless of what you think of Moffat's time as showrunner, you've got to admit this is pretty funny.

Its basically a more professionally dressed version of that tumblr post. You know the one.

This one?

"Ste-mo" is almost as good as "the Grand Moff."

yes that one

In other news, I've finished some more Faction Paradox books.

The Brakespeare Voyage

Or:

The Fourth Wave Boys' Book Of Whaling For Universes.

I think I like the alternate title/subtitle better.

I'll get More Tales From The City when I have another paycheck.

The Book Of the War unused material.

The Faction Paradox school song.

Tales Of The Great Detectives has a neat cover.

I could easily see Peter Capaldi being the tom Baker of Nu Who.

On the one hand having some creative control as a star means that as an actor you're more inclined to be around for a much longer time, but it causes tensions between various levels of production.

Also, I was totally looking forward to shipping 12 and Clara.

"Qlippothic".

Taking a shot!

Those Capaldi tumblr posts were hilarious.

Capaldi sits inside your head
Capaldi lives among the dead
Capaldi sees you in your bed
And eats you while you're sleeping

Well the similarity was striking.
