Forever in their favour

Since a few days, I'm in possession of a shiny Hunger Games dvd. Now originally, the first time I had watched the film in the cinema, I hadn't read the novels, and thus was happy to review it from a film only basis. Then I read the novels, and now it was the first time I rewatched the film with the knowledge of the books in mind.

A few thoughts:

Shiver me timbers

I may have squeed somewhat loudly when hearing Neil Gaiman would write another Doctor Who episode (PLEASE PLEASE THE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY ONE), and am of course very gratified to hear The Doctor's Wife won the Hugo. Not just because it was my favourite episode from last season but because it instantly became one of my all time favourites.

Now, in The Doctor's Wife, we hear about a Time Lord named the Corsair (who changes gender, thus making fannish speculation canon that Time Lords can do that when regenerating - love N.G.), and because he's Gaiman, Neil the übercool kindly wrote Eleven Things You Probably Didn't Know About The Corsair. (Make sure you read the entire post which includes a wonderful RTD reaction to same at the bottom.)
