Random Thought

I'm going out on a limb here, but my thought for why Marvel is keeping their solicitations hush, is that they're going to be announcing something involving Neil Gaiman & Miracleman.  I just kind of wanted to get that out there.

Ditch the Rote Hog

Inspired largely because several of my friends have decided to watch the latest few series of Doctor Who, and by the fact that I've been largely enjoying the new Matt Smith episodes (despite being finished in the UK, the last few are still to air here in Canada), I've decided to go back and watch the previous episodes.  I've also decided to see if I can lay my hands on earlier material, after looking through considerable histories of episodes, radioplays, novels and such and reading up on many of the past incarnations.

I know that I've seen many of the Tom Baker episodes, and at least a handful of the Jon Pertwee episodes, as I can remember watching them early mornings before going to school either on A&E, PBS, or TVO.  Looking at the DVD releases, though, it seems nigh ridiculous what's been released and what hasn't, haphazard and all over the place.  I also remember the TV movie; I know that I watched it, but I can't remember much about it.  I think I may start there, since I can find a copy, and the BBC radioplays with Paul McGann also seem to be available.
