So the first season of the revived Doctor Who got shockingly good last night. It's been fun, always, as the Ninth Doctor is hilariously awesome in all that he does (I like that I'm able to tell when he's well and truly pissed off by the dimunition of the wattage on his smiles), but the last couple of episodes (Adam getting the boot, Rose and her dad, Captain Jack showing up) have been genuinely good and not just silly-good. I mean, the plot is still exposition-dump heavy at the end, but I was hooked on what we watched last night.

Speaking of the Doctor, feiran was talking about Battlestar Galactica on our way to the wedding, Saturday, and made the comment "I wonder if the doctor is okay." She meant Doc Cottle, but we'd been watching all this Doctor Who, so I thought she was talking about The Doctor, and I got a little confused. When I figured out who she meant, I explained my confusion--what with The Doctor being in the Battlestar Galactica universe and all, and she let loose with this:

feiran (as The Doctor): "I lost the Time War, so I started a new one!"

Cue me dying. No one else has found this as funny as I do, but there you are, I've shared it with just about everyone now. And, actually, it's not universe-breaking for The Doctor to be in the BSG 'verse. Technically, FTL travel is time travel, and vice versa, so, if FTL exists (as it does in BSG), then time travel exists, and shouldn't that fall under the eye of the Time Lords? Seems to me they're the people to keep a watch out on this stuff, especially if Earth is the thirteenth colony and all (which means the Doctor knows when and if the BSG folk ever make it there).

Wait, so did you see Friday's episode yet? I need to talk about it!

Yes, yes I did. Despite the insanity of the plan, Eugene, Carrie and I stayed up late Friday to catch the repeat viewing. Giving us five hours to sleep before needing to get up and go to the wedding. But we all did it. Had to!
