Hm, where do you find the force ghost on Ilum? and the magenta crystal recipes these days? I've been working on my post 50 artifice recipes with my SI now that I've got it up to 450 skill, have a bunch of blue and purple enhancements now, even a few hilt recipes like that, but I've noticed there don't seem to be any crystal recipes for that.. Just the +41 Critical/Power that have been around for aaaages. Tried out the group finder for a bit over the weekend, and kept getting sent to the Czerka Labs and Meltdown. Seem's the [Hard] 50 flashpoints just don't turn up, although I did find out what [Hard] 55 Hammer Station is like....

Heh. The Five(ish) Doctors
-
So for 400 years the Doctor tortures himself over the fact that he believes he committed a mass act of genocide, when in actual fact it came down to a big sleight of hand that sealed Gallifrey away in a slice of time, hidden pocket dimension that's locked in that moment.. It's a classic "Moffat Special". There's a terrible thing that generally appears inevitable, the Doctor embraces doing something incredibly dark to save the day only to suddenly figure out a slight of hand to get around that, but leave everyone thinking it happened. With chunks of wordplay that you think meant one thing, but turn out to be something else. And the companion makes some offhand comment that inspires the Doctor's grasp at deviousness. I think what partially seemed to disconnect it for me was how they hyped the aspect of the Time War being in it, but then....skipped it. We got a chaotic ruined city, a few Daleks going pew-pew and general innocents running around. We got no real feel for the Timelords being as bad as the Daleks, or the dangers to the rest of the universe. What about the Skaro Degradations? The Nightmare Child? The Army of Ne'erweres? Or the Could've-Been-King? But John Hurt was pretty damn good in that role of war-weary Doctor deciding to embrace a horrible choice. And it was interesting to have him react to the "infantile" style of his future regenerations, "Timey-Wimey?!?". The whole play on them refusing to act like adults because they were horrified of how they acted when they were the 'adult' War Doctor. http://youtu.be/yI5Py96KJ54

Day of the Doctor. To that last spoiler of AGX-17, that's.. not technically true. Hidden and lost. Not completely sure what to make of it actually. It's got lots of good bits to it, but something didn't quite gel completely to the overall thing, I just can't place my finger on what exactly it was. And some fez jokes.

Filch, Frey, and most recently.. Doctor Who/William Hartnell

I need to get back to experimenting with Blood Bowl. Haven't in a couple of months.

An Adventure in Space and Time. The dramatization of Doctor Who's beginnings, the first female producer and the first indian director in the BBC, along with William Hartnell's journey as the first doctor. Some interesting bits and pieces, they made the initial scripts and stuff very fast, background things, but focused on the characters of the people involved.

Just having a late night nibble of a mini stollen slice. Trying to decide why they're so more-ish.

Punting along on web design stuff. Trying to create the css scaffolding to have 5 divs : header, footer, left, right and center, but of course the moment I try to put in the center everything goes weird. Tried to use % for all the height and width stuff rather then firm px, but that's bouncing oddly as it goes. Someone advised me to learn how to use bootstrap to help me get into this, but that's a major info-dump of stuff I have no real knowledge about, so I'd be guestimating with it rather then learning anything. Of coruse, getting interrupted on that to sort out mom's drugs, and errands needed to be done around the village and shopping to be picked up.. Edit: Hm, and my sister's boiler has apparently gone wrong, and the repairmen can't get out till the 5th of December.. Throw in her hob has blown, and she hasn't got an electric kettle.. I don't think she's quite set up for the chill of winter that's frosting the days here.

Feeling a little out of time at the moment. I was stuck in that loop of half wake up, half doze off during the early hours of the morning, hit that point where I started going "Yeesh, how long till my alarm goes off and I have to get up?" and then as the dozing in and out continued I struggled to check the time... and found it was actually about two hours passed when my alarm would have been going off.

The thing with Ender's Game is that it started life as a short story, got turned into a novella, then some years later a full novel.. So it was fairly easy to trim it back to being a screenplay suitable for a film. There's what, three books as such that make up Ender's trilogy, and then the rest of the books focus on the other characters don't they? Bean's perspective and what happened on Earth after the war and such like.

Because I'm ruggedly handsome and childishly exuberant?

With the 2nd episode you have a lot more banter. Dorian making fun of his partner, Dorian setting up an online dating profile for his partner, Dorian scanning his partners testicles and offering advice because "you're backed up and you need to get laid."
-
Almost Human. Some potential interest to the world, plus a show that manages to get in lines like "Don't scan my testicles. Ever." While the sci-fi tends to be interesting ideas but with chunks of implausibility and near-Fringe like science.. I'd say this show is really going to come down to the relationship back and forth of the two main leads, Urban and Ealy.
