John Hurt

Just heard that John Hurt has passed away. I hadn't realized how important his portrayal of the Doctor was to me until just now. He was absolutely brilliant in that role.

Noooooooo!

Well, f*ck you 2017.

He's been brilliant as the War Doctor for Big Finish.

Yeah, 2017 is off to a terrible start.

First DumpsterDonald and now this. Ugh!

I feel I need to apologize to the rest of the world on behalf of my country. The idea of him being "populist" is wrong, though -- he did NOT win the majority vote here, and the majority of us are doing everything we can to resist. I was part of the Women's March, and so were a ridiculous number of other people I know, and none of us are regulars at political protest marches. I'm calling my Congressional representatives, and so are others I know, and again, that's not something we've done before. And I was proud to see the protests today at our airports.

Aww, no!!

I guess he was ill, but I certainly hadn't expected it. Really sad news.
