stained glass windows of words...

One of the memes currently sweeping my flist is Wordle. A couple of kalypso_v's Wordles of her Life On Mars reviews look so much like stained glass windows that I am tempted to get some transparencies and print them so that I can hang them in the window.

boxset sale at HMV

Note for UK fans -- HMV is having a boxset sale, which includes New Who series 1 at 30 quid and Torchwood series 1 at 25 quid in-store (at least in Manchester). There's a different mix of products in the sale in the online store, which doesn't seem to have Who1, but has Torchwood 1 even cheaper (and Who 3 at 40 quid).

Dr Who 4.11

The darkness is coming...

So they're starting to pick up a lot of different strands now, including some from quite a while back, and across all three branches of the franchise. Good Donna episode, although rather over-egging the "Donna is wonderful" thing -- I found that annoying with Rose, and it's making my teeth itch with after one episode of it with Donna, *because* they went so overboard with Mary Sueing Rose.

Some chilling scenes and fine acting, and I particularly liked the way they played the scene with a reference to events of some years back, as that would go over the heads of the small children in the audience while being deeply disturbing to the adults.
