So there just happened to be a Dr Who martathon on today, and I watched a couple episodes. And I kinda realized something. I think Smiths Doctor is in the same boat as the Comedian. He gets the joke (Not smith, but the actual Doctor himself), he has taken that step back and gone... my life is fucking ridiculous...awesome!...well I guess all I can do is ride the wave.

So that's what gives him his childlike nature, he's just loving the trip. But as soon as the people he loves are in danger, that disappears and he is in serious, kick ass mode.

The episodes I watched specifically were the Hungry Earth 2-parter. So minor spoilers for those ahead. When the doctor is with the chick and they get dragged down to the Homo Reptilus city, he's just feeding off her amazement and what the fuckery, and going "I know right?!" (Also... when she see's the inside of the tardis for the first time...but I mean, everyone has that reaction) but when Amy and Rory got kidnapped he was in full out, "I will find you and kill you." mode, and when he's dealing with the Reptile leaders or whatever he's very serious.

Honestly dude, I think there's a lot more seriousness in Smiths Doctor then you remember. He just only pulls it out when his companions are in danger (Which is...A lot) or when he needs to be, otherwise, he's just loving life and enjoying the bizarro ride.

An AMA with a 97to that worked all the apollo missions and a bunch of other stuff. Thought you guys would like.

(I haven't had a chance to actually read through any of it, so if it sucks, sorry )

Alright I have to pipe up at this one. You can hate the childlike nature, fine whatever. But the "I know" was a gag in the christmas special used for all of about 3 minutes.

*Removed comment because obviously some people have no sense of humour about these things*

Just over a pound. (One of the 1lb bricks)

The project is gonna have to be put on hold for a bit, til I can round up the cash to get some more.

And thanks

So it's been pretty slow going, but I expected that.

Wire and tinfoil base/core.

First bit of sculpting, just getting the basic forms in...before I ran out of sculpey. 1lb down!

I'm thinking I might have to do the top separately with another wire and tinfoil base in order to give it the support it needs, and then attach it for the actual sculpting.

So yep, it's slowly taking some sort of shape, and I'm slowly realizing just how massive a shape it is.

Seriously?! I enjoyed the fuck oughta that episode, thought it was among of the best of nuwho (let's say top 10).

Certainly better than the Christmas Carol rip they did.

So much want for the last one and #3.

Please tell me that dude kicks someone. Best. Episode. Ever.

Natalie Portman & Gary Oldman

OH.FUCK.YES.Just.Yes.

No, I mean that's just human nature, they get attached to one actors performance, and shun or critisize the rest. The only reason it doesn't happen more in film, is because very rarely does more than one actor play the same character... but when it does, holy shit they'll rip it to pieces.

I mean have you ever gotten in an argument with a die hard fan about who is the better Wonka. Both sides will rip the other to shreds. When personally I think they're both pretty cool interpretations of the character, and enjoy both of them for it.

EDIt: TO actually answer your question. It does affect it, but it's not an issue limited to theater to movie transitions. It's an issue any time they recast a new version of something.
