Fannish5: Name your 5 fannish wishes for 2011

[selenak]

1.) After all the audience teasing in Keith Richards' memoirs about the existence of a McCartney/Richards song composed during those shared 2005 holidays, this mysterious bit of music gets released. Come on, guys. You're evidently still on good terms, considering this recent snapshot when Paul played in New York:



So unveil the song already!

2.) Torchwood: A New Earth is great. Actually, I'm fairly optimistic it's going to be good;, in addition to bringing along his trusty fellow scribes from Children of Earth; RTD hired Jane Espenson, whom I love. As with CoE, we'll get a mini arc narrative through the episodes. Also the actors confirmed for the new characters - Mekhi Phifer and Bill Pullman - are good. (Haven't found out who'll play Esther yet.) While I'd love to see the CoE characters again, CoE itself has demonstrated (again) RTD can make me get interested in and fall for for new characters very quickly. Gwen - whom I didn't fall for quickly but grew to love dearly over a longer period of time, to wit, one and a half seasons, and then I was hers - will be back with Rhys at her side. But since Children of Earth was stellar, I don't want merely good for season 4. I want great. On a lofty note because CoE would have made the perfect ending for Torchwood, and I don't want the show to backslide, and on a more petty note I want great because it's going to piss off the Gwen bashers and the Torchwood = Ianto brigade.

3.) Fringe does not get cancelled. Also, Olivia remains her awesome self (selves?) and Astrid gets an ever increasing role.

4.) The Good Wife does not get cancelled, either. Alicia has a one night stand with Will and decides they are better off as friends, thereby bringing an end to that storyline. I'm perfectly willing to leave anything else in the able hands of the scriptwriters.

5.) David Tennant guest stars on Merlin as the ghost of Gorlois, which should give him plenty of mind-messing scenes with Uther (we already know he has chemistry with ASH) and/or Morgana & Morgause. Also Merlin, since someone will have to bid the ghost farewell and that kind of thing usually is Merlin's job, so it's neat we already know he has good chemistry with Colin Morgan as well.

Bonus wish because today's date is 1.1.11: Keeley Hawes guest stars on Doctor Who in a River Song episode. I'm just saying.

And for all Paul looks like Angela Lansbury, he still looks 20 years younger than Keith.

Whereas I think in reality Keith is two or so years younger. :) Pot and vegeterianism clearly trump heroin as far as bodily preservations are concerned. But then, EVERYONE looks younger than Keith these days (otoh Keith looks as if he'd survive the apocalypse, so there's that).
