Television

It really is rather ridiculous these pangs of enthusiasm I find myself having for the next series of Doctor Who. I mean really, it's still a year away!

I have utterly immersed myself in the series now, watching all the DVDs in chronological order, and now catching up on the gaps now that I can torrent. And now that I'll be watching the ones what Martha Jones was in with Dave, that's three versions of the Doctor I'm submitting too.

I just thought I'd state here, on this, where all my ill-planned and careless thoughts are stored until they are read again (so, just me, in three or four years time), that I'm really excited about the 11th doctor, and think his costume is excellent. Let's hope they drop the whole british nationalist wank they've been paradeing throughout David Tennant's reign though.

Hmm, television. I like television, more than films or books these days. While Doctor Who fills up all my day-to-day obsessive enthusiast tendancies, there is an incredible plethora of entertainment on its way before the year is through.

Dollhouse season 2 starts on the 25th September, and I cannot wait. I'm jittery with excitement. And only a week after the finale of True Blood season 2! Haw, man, sweet.

If you've not seen either of these shows, and can't promise me now that you will watch them soon, well, we need to reconsider some core principles in our relationship. Personally, they are the two most highly recommended shows I can think of that are on right now.

Then there's Dexter coming back! 'Caprica' and 'The Plan' - those crazy Battlestar spin-offs! New 4400... alright, I lied there, sorry. But new South Park!

Alright, I'm just having a geek wank, so I will bring this post, yet another fascinating and enlightening one at that, to an end, and return to the work I should be doing - cleaning the database post-fringe. Fun.
