her voice sounds really different on this video, did anyone else notice that too? does she do a 'troi voice' on the show?

didn't he direct it? makes sense he'd have been more in the know about it


plus i'm pretty sure he's still directing so he probably is still in touch with production dudes

why would you know this















In other news, despite quitting "Terminal World" early, I started and just finished "Blue Remembered Earth", the first part of a new series by Alastair Reynolds and it was really good.

Unfortunately he's doing some stupid Dr. Who poo poo next. Can somebody please kill that poo poo off already? It's a really annoying franchise in that mostpeople think it's absolute poo poo yet a vocal minority keeps terrorizing the rest of society with it.

any series with really vocal fans is like that and it's really annoying since they never shut up and scream over slight criticism

most recent examples: doctor who, sherlock, supernatural

they have rabid fanbases who never shut up about their dumb fan fiction and need to spam their crossovers everywhere

ps doctor who owns as a cheesy scifi fuk da haters (but it's not some grand space opera people seem to think it is)

a lot of the problem comes from the fact that fandoms are not subcultures, even though subcultures can grow out of fandoms.

I've actually warmed to Doctor Who but only after nobody tried to get me to watch it for like 3 years and it just came on TV

the kinds of fans who seek "converts" are factually the worst

What would you consider a "converter", because I asked my friends if they saw The Wire and I said that they should.
