Doctor Who Finale: Journey's End
I'm not sure how I feel about it to be honest. Below are some thoughts:
It was rather inventive the way they got around the regeneration sequence, but does that mean that the Doctor has one less regeneration?
I think Rose was pretty much wasted in coming back really. Although I did like seeing her back, there didn't seem enough interaction. Like she ( Read more... ) -

Two SH book reviews: “Ms Holmes of Baker Street” and “The Tale Not Told”.
In this post I’m going to voice some of my feelings regarding the books “Ms Holmes of Baker Street” by C. Alan Bradley, William A.S. Sarjeant and “The Tale Not Told” by Constance Wilder-Wokoun (I'm not really writing book reviews as such as I've forgotten what format you're supposed to use when writing them, it's been a long time since I did it at ( Read more... ) -
Sherlock Holmes vid "Zebra"
I've been wanting to make this vid ever since I saw the clip in the Sussex Vampire with Holmes and thought it would go perfectly with the line "be the walking dead". I think the song suits Holmes the chameleon. Though it's not a very deep or meaningful vid. I've tried very hard to get the rhythms right in it. I'm not sure how I feel about it in ( Read more... ) -
Mary Sue?
I found a couple of essays on Mary Sue's that I skimmed. They're very long, so I didn't read everything in them:

Supporting the artist
I came across this post by a professional writer which I wholeheartedly agree with, so I decided to link it here:

The points she makes are excellent, and it's something I've thought for years. That is why I will always try to buy new rather than getting stuff second hand if I can possibly do so. If I buy new then ( Read more... ) -
Fic Snippets: What Might Have Been
Well the story for a start*G*
I found some snippets I wrote a while ago and I found some of the dialogue amusing. Since it's doubtful the fic will ever see the light of day, I decided to post what I've got.
“Hello son.”
“Dad? What are you doing here? I saw you leave with Mom.”
“Well son I suppose that all depends on where here is.”
“Where are we?”

How the Relationship between Fraser and Vecchio mirrors that of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson.
I was recently watching a documentary on Sherlock Holmes and it talked about how he and Doctor Watson were the basis for all partnership shows which have come after and I began thinking that possibly Due South comes the closest to matching the characteristics of the Holmes/Watson partnership.
In this slight essay, I will be referring to the Sir ( Read more... ) -

Torchwood posts seem to have eaten my f-list. I can't seem to find anything but now. I'm definitely going to have to start removing some I think.
