bbc tv

dr. who and orphan black... and kind of sort of the nerdist,,, first eye catching thought is the eye candy... definitely enough to draw me back, especially when there are multiple choices to watch (twice on saturday nights and hopefully continuing on thursday nights or other times during the week as well)...

so there is jenna louise coleman definitely providing a face (and type) that can appeal to libido and then there is orphan black with lead character tatiana maslany who provides a right body type (nude scenes, no less... libido says thank you very much) so the bbc two shows will be on my radar and hopefully provide a lot more than eye candy as characters and stories develop... cloning or dissociative disorder or both, it takes some good acting and writing to keep character and story line continuity... so thanks bbc... even if the girls don't stop by the house, i hope for fun watching...

pity the promos already blew the mystery before the story actually got started...

and then there's the doctor... this paragraph might come off as egocentric, but truth is truth whether you believe it or not... it's eerie, actually... not this part: at first it took a long time for me to actually start watching dr who and admittedly, i thought the show was too cheesy with plastic effects, to enjoy (hey. i grew up on american television, what else do you want to know)... but then, after watching the more recent incarnations of the stories for a while, mostly through the last few series of doctors/companions, (oh, this is the eerie part): i found the connection to my own life experience uncanny... i mean, i am the doctor in the sense that i adopt someone the way he does, i guard someone, attempt to save someone when circumstances rise, and i wander alone, separate, apart from humans... i just don't have a tardis or infinite resources or a magic screwdriver like the doctor does... yeah, i know, unbelievable... you'd have to know my real life story to understand (or believe) the similarities...

never know what might be discovered in background television, aye? :)

harry knew... and then, even more eerie, there is amy... sigh...

in any case, all about me aside, anybody notice they used a musical phrase from beauty and the beast to suggest romantic awakening in the doctor in this incarnation of the doctor-companion story?... there is something there that wasn't there before :)
