Amo Civitas Livejournaliii!
Apr. 27th, 2011 08:44 pmWhy I love fandom: someone posts a beta request for a Doctor Who story in Latin. And gets answers in Latin.
Speaking of Medicus Quis, there are also Doctor Who recipes available. Including the one for Eleven's favourite dish. :)
A detailed article on Ron Moore's new show, the CSI-meets-Harry-Potter one with half the BSG cast and Stockard Channing, 17th Preccinct. I am amused that James Callis gets to keep his British accent yet again while Jamie Bamber has to go American once more, intrigued by the fact that Esai Morales (from Caprica) plays a trans character who's also the Lt. of the district, and amused again the article writer (who has read the pilot script) assures us this is more like Moore's Star Trek era scripts than like his BSG scripts in that there is a lot of humour. Actually, RDM wasn't exactly the comedy guy on TNG and DS9 (he specialized in the darker stuff even then), though yes, his scripts there had humour, too. (One of many reasons why I was never as incensed at the man as many a BSG fan is that he shipped Picard/Q something major - he did go on record calling it "something like a love story" at the time) and wrote them both witty and sharp dialogues in Tapestry. At any rate, I'm all for him channelling his ST side into his new show. Starring Tricia Helfer as a necromancer called Morgana (who is this world's magical equivalent of a pathologist).
