Admittedly, me returning isn't on par with RTD's... but here I am again! Now, before I sink back into threads, I do think I need to some air clearing: I felt my prior posting habits were starting to veer more on lecturing, which ultimately, is not why I come here. I didn't, and don't, want my posts to be mini-media courses - my only goal was to better inform you guys about how things work in TV. Too often, it's surrounded in a lot of glitz that overshadows the day-to-day grind of it, and all the work that goes into making shows. In an age where fan-creator relations are rocky, to put it mildly, I think there's a lot of value in fans having a bigger picture (doubly helped by the high standards of members here) for criticism. Nonetheless, I come here to have fun and relax, so I will endeavour to pull back a bit more in future. Or at least, write shorter comments! Welcome back hope this means a return for the weekend Story VS Story Threads, always find them interesting to read and comment on. Regards mark687

That, and the writing prompts like "NuWho Locum Doctors" or "Completely ridiculous spinoff boxset ideas" 1. It's always great to be able to take something familiar by a metric of years and turn it on its head to look at it in a new way. 1 - There was a time where I seriously considered seeing if there was a digital illustrator interested in mocking up a cover for My Dreams of Conquest! (A long, rambling and largely incoherent autobiography of the life and times of the mad, er, enthused scientist, Soldeed). It's a gag, but a fun gag.

FINALLY, here in Australia the original series of "He-Man" action figures are being released (re?) for the 1st time in decades. I grew up watching it back in the early 80's and unfortunately we never got any of the figures. Wife is doing the weekly grocery shopping now I am home with the boy- she is on a mission. Whatever she sees she will take pix for me and I will pick n choose for my boy and me.

Not made my day: Apparently Big Finish is the latest site to kick me off for having a old browser apparently? Been meaning to get a new computer for ages so I can run a newer browser - long story involving a Windows update that killed my computer and having to reinstall Windows myself without the thing that made SP3 available - but I keep spending my spare change on... Big Finish... instead.
I really kind of wish they'd at least waited till the new year in case it takes until an after Christmas sale to get the price and features I'd like. It may cost me enough for a lot of Big Finish if I have to make a hasty replacement.
Very strange how nobody wants my dinosaur dollars anymore, so far it's costing them even more than its costing me. I SAVE money when I can't buy things anymore. Who should upgrade: I should upgrade my computer or merchants and websites should upgrade their business sense? Yes, friends - even in a FIRST World Country, people are still using outdated computers...

Daylight Savings starts for us 2nite.. 1 hour less sleep. Thanks for the heads up! I never remember when that happens. There's always one day a year where I wake up super early and another day when I wake up super late, and on both I'm usually very confused

Itโs been a long time coming, but we finally moved in to our first home today. Due to the notice period of the flat we were renting weโve managed to do quite a lot of decorating already, but thereโs still plenty more to do and boxes to unpack! Exciting times, though!

I think I may take another break from the forum for at least a few days ๐ This is totally up to you timegirl, your enthusiasm is always wanted- however it may pay to think about not getting so emotionally invested in hypotheticals as it has brought you to this point in the past. I am confident a huge percentage of us would like to see u-know-who come back as it's a celebration of all Who. It does you no good getting all worked up to the point it affects your day to day life, at the end of the day it's just a tv show. Just my little 2c for what it's worth.
