See ya, Bernie, or, rather, see you down by the ice. The Blues have not only announced a curtailed presence from Federko, but have also brought in Darren Pang to do color for TV broadcasts. This is a win/win. Not only do I dislike Bernie Federko (due to not one, but two different “meetings” with him), but I like Darren Pang.
This comes as welcome news. I could scarcely believe what I was reading. Now, they just need to replace John Kelly, and they will finally have a decent TV team. I suggest Dan McLaughlin as long as it doesn’t interfere with his Cardinals duties.
Let’s go Blues!

I’ve loved Doctor Who since I was about 5 or 6, and I’ve watched any spin-off I could get a copy of. Most have been miserable. When Torchwood was announced, I had high expectations given the quality of the Doctor Who revamp, and my fondness for the Captain Jack Harkness character played by John Barrowman.
Unfortunately, the show has been a mess. There were moments of near-brilliance, but mostly it was hampered by sexual situations that seemed to be inserted for cheap thrills over and over again. Innuendo certainly intended.
This year’s Children of Earth mini-series has thus far bucked that trend, and I can’t help but think a large part is due to the less divided attention of creator Russell T. Davies. Sure, there have been some references to intimacy in the mini-series, but they were handled in a more refined way than the previous two series tended to deal with the subject. Instead, the story is the focus. Shocking isn’t it? And what a story it has been. I’m just glad that I need only wait another day for the next episode to air. Sadly, the series is comprised of only five episodes, but if that means higher quality, so be it.
Here’s to hoping the series ends as well as it has begun, and that Davies continues to take a more direct handling of the show’s writing in subsequent series. Now, if only I had a TARDIS so that I could skip forward several months for new Doctor Who.
Might be my favorite track from the new album.
I definitely want to do a video edit for this. Now, I just need to think of a film to do it to. Hmm.
This show should have never been canceled, and I need them for foreign languages too. Luckily, some people have uploaded segments. Here are a few of them. Watch, and weep for today’s children who never benefited from such fine programming.

I guess it’s called The Last Airbender. I have to say that even though I have low expectations for the films, I am looking forward to them. I hope they transfer well. I think there is that potential, but the cartoon was pretty darned good on its own. We’ll see how it plays out. Hopefully, the future trailers will show the other main roles, and I’d like to hear them talk too.
Also, here are a couple of screens. The first is Aang, and the second is Zuko. Clicken fir biggen.
Compliments of Spoiler TV, so, if you don’t want to know, don’t read em.
The first one is pretty tame, but it made me smile, the TARDIS is getting a retrofit, and I do mean retro. Apparently, it will be reminiscent of the old school look. Awesome if true. I can’t say I ever liked the newer show’s take. I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t like it either.
The second is not surprising, but cool nonetheless, it appears that at least one more Timelord will make an appearance in David Tennant’s final hurrah along with the Doctor and the Master. There is a photo of the two along with Timothy Dalton. Dalton is dressed in the robes of Galifrey, and supposedly is the Chancellor. It seemed obvious that they would eventually get away from the “no Timelords left” spiel, but I wish they would also change up the Master again. It’s a shame Derek Jacobi only lasted a couple of episodes. This new guy does nothing for me, as he seemed a take on Tennant’s Doctor in terms of age and personality. Weak.

I can’t wait for the new album.
