You neglected to mention Rufus Hound's Monk showing up. I'm always glad for that.

gently caress, I'm sold on the title names alone. The Tyrants of Logic is a fantastic name.

Didn't mention that because they'd said he was going to be in it when they first announced the set a month or so back but had only done the ~mysterious tease that we'll announce later~ for the second story which now, being later, has been announced. Though that certainly is a selling point, too. The short trip he narrated featuring his Monk and the Third Doctor was brilliant so more of that pairing is very promising.

DoctorWhat posted:Is that a confession? It is a proclamation! Normally, I'd have everything shipped to me, then combine it all into a single package, but this was such a weird shape, I thought it would be best to have it sent directly to you. eBay doesn't have the gift options of Amazon (at least without asking the seller to write you a cryptic note), but that's where you gotta go to get crazy poo poo from the '80s. The other presents are on my table awaiting a box, but will be in transit soon.

I was pretty excited when I found it. An 80s Who artifact I'd never come across! Thanks to Google Reverse Image search, I was able to determine that it's by Andrew Skilleter, who did many Target novel and VHS box covers, from his 1986 Doctor Who Calendar. I don't know how long he made the print available, but there don't seem to be a lot around. Now, the other present is the one that made me message Maera Sior with "oh poo poo oh poo poo oh poo poo." I don't think the seller knew what they had - someone else was listing the same thing for $60. The whole thing ended up easily within the standard DWSS budget. It's something else from the '80s, and we'll leave it at that.

I just saw that BBC America is reserving two hours for the Christmas special. Holy hell, what's the run-time in England, 90 minutes? e: Upon further review, only 85 minutes are actually the episode, the rest is a special farewell to 12.

So today was the Red Nose Breakfast with the Doctors where several people who donated got to have breakfast with Davison, Colin, Syl, David, Matt, Paul, and Capaldi. Capaldi and Paul ultimately couldn't be there, so they found an interesting workaround. They were also joined by Peter Purves, Freema, Moffat, and Richard Curtis.

An extremely Merry Santa to my mysterious benefactor, who could not have done a better job. I had thought that my wife could not have a happier Hanukkah, what with the defeat of Roy Moore, our ultrasound pictures confirming our happy news, and with the upcoming joint playthrough of Breath of the Wild, but then she got to laugh at our bird's face when he really wanted to nibble on my Secret Santa gift... but was terrified of it:  My apologies for the not-so-great photo. We took many, and spent more time than I am comfortable admitting trying to take a good one, but I really wanted Yoshi (the bird) to be in the photo, and he's tough to photograph in the best of circumstances. After all, some of it was for him.  In case the camera glare is covering anything up, I got two absolutely incredible serials: The Ark in Space and The Brain of Morbius and also: MST3K: Volume V, which has some of my favorites, including the absolute classic, Time Chasers. I immediately turned over both of the Doctor Who ones and discovered that BOTH had commentary from Tom Baker! Expect reports! That's to say nothing of the bird treats. He's scared of them now, but he already loves them if I break off pieces and let him nibble on them. I managed to get a video of how happy he was after eating some of it (I don't know why it's sideways I am not good with compu): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyW5hNeUwpI I look forward to the middle of next week, when my own Santee will have a little something thrown down their chimney.

Happy Christmas and Merry New Year, Big Mean Jerk! I'm definitely going to enjoy every second of the Tom Baker commentary and every second of reliving some of my favorite MST3K episodes in high quality. Thank you for you kind and thoughtful gifts. If I can get a better video of the bird enjoying his treats, I'll be sure to PM it to you.

Excellent. If you’re missing any MST3k sets, check out amazon this week. They had several of the newer releases for less than $20, the lowest I’ve seen in a long time.

After The War posted:Congratulations! When the rebellious teenage years come and they need terrible Doctor Who opinions to piss you off, we'll be right here. Thanks! We're both very excited. I have been shocked into crying from happiness a lot. Tom is surprisingly sedate so far in the commentary, except for one moment when he got a little excited by the soundtrack (and Elizabeth Sladen's story that she saw a French version in which they changed the soundtrack), and a hearty laugh when the camera was pointed toward his and Harry's butts, with a "Now there's a good shot." Philip Hinchcliffe just seems overjoyed to be asked to speak about anything. Elizabeth Sladen has a ton of interesting stuff to say.

Davros1 posted:Bafflegab, who do the wonderful "The Scarifyers" series, are going to HELL Is it going to be a dramatization or a straight reading? It'll take a pretty deft hand to adapt Hellbound Heart either way. Barker has a wonderful visual imagination, but tends to describe it very specifically in prose, so something that should be a haunting, powerful image comes across as "goofy campfire story." Can we have Doug Jones as an old-school hammy Who villain, though? Pleeeeease?!
