The latest two Who eps? Awesome, awesome, awesome, Martha kicked butt and Tennant was amazing as usual. I'm too fucking tired to have any other comments, BUT. I am watching this programme called "Foyle's War" at the moment.

This is this really good Beeb (ETA: uh, BBC) drama about a policeman Foyle in WWII - he and his driver, Sam (short for Samantha!) Stewart and their colleague, a wounded soldier whose name... I don't remember: anyway, it's WWII, Foyle, Sam, and One-legged Man Fight Crime. It's formatted with four episodes a season, the episodes are an hour and a half long, and it's just very good.

Also, it was written by Anthony Horowitz (yes, that Anthony Horowitz, the guy who wrote Stormbreaker.) Also, the woman who plays Sam Stewart, Honeysuckle Weeks (what a name, seriously) looks a little like Alona Tal (more when she's acting...) and a little like my friend Anna. Which is not really relevant, but hey.

ANYWAY. I was watching the third episode of the first season, and all of a sudden this guy's walking along, and I'm thinking hang on, his hair looks real familiar... HOLY SHIT, IT'S THE DOCTOR. Yes. Hi, David Tennant, how pretty you look (this was 2003, must have been pre-Who.)

And finally: kheha has written AWESOME meta on being a Young Wizards fan, which has all these beautiful wider applications about fannishness and our relationships with TPTB, and just - it's really, really awesome, and it has a couple of moments that genuinely moved me as a fan. So like, read it. Go go go.

*spams* but those of you who know my mother might find this amusing

During a pathetically pathetic phonecall to my mother in which I cried about how I'm going to fail out of university and I'm so fucking broke (because of saving for a new laptop, so not like, a pauper, but in the sense that I can just about afford to pay rent this week) and my job sucks we talked about television.

MUM: You need to have your mum make you hot chocolate with little marshmallows and hot water bottles and lie down on the couch with blankets and watch television! (Ed: ok. this makes me sound about five. But shut up, ok.)
ME: I'm watching this show called Foyle's War -
MUM: I watch Heroes whenever I can!
ME: What?
MUM: Heroes! I love it! I think it's really good!
ME: role reversal, much?

I could just darling her into my heart. ♥
