“Every once in a very long while, every day in a million days, when the wind stands fair and the Doctor comes to call... everybody lives.”—River SongAs promised, here is the abbreviated blog for this episode. For this week only I'll vary for my normal posting format.OK, right off the bat, wow! Another episode that makes up for some of those earlier misses this season. Although it seemed like the majority of the episode was set up to get us to that wonderful red herring of an ending (the Doctor leaving the diary & screwdriver behind with River lamenting via voiceover), oh WHAT AN ENDING (voiced like David Tennant's outbursts)! So many ideas, themes and philosophical concepts have been packed into this episode (with ideas carried over from part one), that I literally have no idea where to begin. Hmmm. OK, we might as well hit the main one that stood out to me then expand from there.Existentialism As the young girl watches her television in the beginning, she mentio... read more

“If you want to live, count the shadows.”—Courtesy node 710/AThe episode opens with a little girl describing an experience she is having in her mind to her therapist and her father. She is floating through a great, seemingly world-wide library that is devoid of people. As she floats down through an exterior opening into a room, there is a great banging on the large wooden doors that lead into the room. Suddenly, the Doctor and Donna burst in, slam the doors shut behind them and approach the little girl.Although we do not realize it at the time, after the credits we flashback to the moment when the TARDIS lands at The Library in the 51st Century. The facility is actually a great library on a planetary scale. As the Doctor/Donna explore the stacks, they come to realize that other than themselves, no one is there. In fact, according to the internal sensors, they are the only two humanoid lifeforms in The Library. Another scan reveals one million million other lifeforms. ... read more

OK, so I just got back from seeing...

OK, so I just got back from seeing The Fog, and let me tell you, I feel like I was royally fogged out of $10. So lame. Trust me, stick with the original. Which should be a rule in life, but as we've all learned from our Orange County kids, mixing it up can yield a few surprises. So let's get right down to this week's "Steeephen Who?" survey.1) Are boyfriends like shoes, purses or sunglasses? Because I'm thinking Steeephen is a pair of Uggs — so "last season" and still not cute.2) What the hell does Lauren's dad do, other than look exactly like Donny Osmond? That house is sick.3) Did Casey jet from the all-star barbecue so early because everyone hates her? Or was she following the trail of Alex M.'s ladystench?4) Hotter ride: Kristin's BMW X-3 or L.C.'s Jason? (I'm not even going to discuss Scruffy McPlayer's antique whatever that was.)5) Are you loving the new all-color, big-size TV Guide? Hot, hu read more
