I've been too fannish lately, and this is really not helping matters.

Eccleston and Hiddleston??  o___o  The only way they could possibly sweeten the deal for me would be to throw Zach Quinto in.

Also, I can't believe I didn't realize until quite recently that Sylvester McCoy (a.k.a. Radagast the Brown) was the 7th Doctor!  I never saw the classic Who beyond a couple episodes.  I'm actually remedying that now, starting with the first season from 1963 (it can really only go uphill from there).

Also, I finally caught Robin Hardy's film The Wicker Tree.  I'm not sure I'd consider it good, which is a shame because I loved The Wicker Man (the original...dear god, not the remake) to pieces.  However, The Wicker Tree is notable for starring Graham McTavish as the villain, and for a Christopher Lee cameo.  Mr. Lee was slated to be the main villain, but apparently he hurt his back around the time of filming. =*[

Acquired tastes are fun (like Thai iced tea; that's now a special treat for when I need motivation, whereas I hated it first time I tried it...I digress).
I did just watch the 'Edge of Disaster' episodes or whatever they were called, the one where everybody is stuck in the Tardis, and the fleshing out of the characters there did encourage me. Onward!
