Hey folks,
So for those not in the know, I won't be heading to Power Morphicon this year. For just one person, it really seems like too much money for me to be spending right now. Will definitely consider it if they do another convention in the future. (And those of you who are going better take lots of pictures and share every detail, OK? Please??) I am looking into other vacation options, such as a weekend trip to DC or other parts of the country. Maybe even a trip to the KY state fair. Lots of potential possibilities.
Let's see, what else is going on.....Absolutely dislike the "Reversioned": MMPR. Those of you who have been in the PR fandom should know what I am talking about. The thing is filled with mind-numbing, pointless, and non-sensical changes that it makes the show look entirely like a silly cartoon. (And lets face it, MMPR was not high quality TV to begin with.) . Yet I find myself still watching it every Saturday. Does that make me a masochist? I will always hava a love for MMPR, just not THIS MMPR. And what is worse is that, if they do put MMPR out on DVD in the USA now, it will likely be this hot mess instead of the original episodes. *gag*
Looking forward to the return of Doctor Who in a couple of months. Despite my love for David Tennant, I am excited to see what Matt Smith will bring to the role. I have been hearing good things online thus far, so I hope Moffat and crew don't let me down. (Speaking of Doctor Who..Does anyone who got the DVD's know if the versions of "The Next Doctor" and "Planet of the Dead" that are in the Complete Specials box set are the same as the individual DVD releases? I already own the individual releases for both and I don't want to get the box set if it is the same identical DVDs. Is there anything on the box set that is not included on the individual release DVDs??)
Something I am NOT looking forward to is US Torchwood. For those not in the know, RTD is working on a US version of Torchwood. How this will affect the UK series, I have no clue. I am still very weary about this for two reasons. 1.) I am still bitter about all the death of beloved characters in Torchwood of late. and 2.) A US version of Torchwood would not be able to get away with a lot of the things that go down in the UK series, which is already a big strike against it. Oh, and RTD is an ass. But that is beside the point.
More later. Need to go to class.
