Watched the series (“season” in American) finale of Doctor Who, featuring the farewell of Christopher Eccleston and arrival of David Tennant as the Doctor.
Bittersweet, as a big, suitably epic climactic episode, revealing some, though not all, of the machinations that have gone on this series, complete with sacrifice and heroism and death and destruction and redemption and …
Well, great stuff.
The only problem I had with the series was that, with a limited number of episodes (what was it, 13?), and some of those being two-parters or direct plot links to previous eps, it all felt like it built to a climax too quickly, too straightforwardly. A big plot that lasts too little a time becomes cheapened by so doing. That said, the idea of shorter stories but an overarching arc, worked well.
As to the change, I will seriously miss Eccleston. But my biggest question now is, when does Series 2 start airing here in the States?
On the other hand, I hope folks will forgive me for getting Katherine hooked on the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon.
Running in the evil that was the 1980s cartoon era, D&D was goofy, stupid, and a horrible waste of time, but I was riveted to it because, well, it was a fantasy cartoon, and it involved D&D. So what if I was a college grad? So what if the powers were stupid (and never ever ever used offensively, to hurt someone)? So what if the episodes were hackneyed and the few bits of “arc” were cliched even then? It was a fantasy cartoon about D&D, fergoshsakes. I’d have watched something five times worse (and probably did).
Anyway, I spotted it in the DVR menu while looking for something else, and I started recording it on a whim. And Katherine just loves it. Go figure.
Mark Evanier, one of the series “developers,” has some fine creator insights into the show (including why the team had that PitA Eric along with them). And then there’s the rumored “Final Episode” of the series, written by show scriptwriter Michael Reeves, but never actually produced.

The animated portions, though, are much fun, with the various Br’er Rabbit tales brought to life in vastly entertaining ways. They’re good enough that, despite a lack of video, they’ve been fine fodder for the vastly enjoyable Splash Mountain rides at WDW and DL.
Stitch is big. Part of that may be the new 
Stitch has two additional advantages. He’s “fresh” (relative to Tink), and he’s a boy (it is presumed, and he is so labelled). That means that boys, who would never be caught dead with Tinkerbell on their shirt, can have Stitch with no worries about being labelled as, well, a fairy.
