Is This Planet Protected?

434,884 Comments

The new season of Doctor Who began today with a very triumphant debut of the Eleventh Doctor. There is a definite shift in tone from the previous series (or non-series as it was), and I think this is exactly the episode to reset with. The introduction of Amy Pond was the best companion beginning yet, and I already love her. The rest of the plot didn’t really blow my mind, but the nod to the previous Doctors was glorious and brought out an actual cheer. I think Eleven is a very capable incarnation and I look forward to seeing him in action week after week.

I’m already re-watching because I let a lot of information slip past me the first time. I also want to compile a list of “clues” to watch for as the series progresses because I think there will be quite the payoff with this writing team. For instance, there is a blue lens flare that lingers for a considerable amount of time when there is no known source of light for that scene. Hmmmm. I’m also curious about the possible significance of the “Myth” laptop. Each of those things may be inconsequential, of course, or they could be related to the coming Silence. Who knows?

Who knows, indeed!! *ahem*

  10. Hi would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?
    I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
    P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

  23. I am extremely inspired along with your writing skills as neatly as with the layout on your
    weblog. Is this a paid subject matter or did you customize it your self?
    Anyway keep up the nice quality writing, it is rare to look a
    nice weblog like this one today..

  24. There is something reassuringly robust about The Punch Bowl Inn.
    Not just in the old-fashioned bar, where the Wainwright Gold is well
    kept and a huge leather sofa sits before a blazing wood burner; or in the dining room,
    solid and comfortable, with its old beams, well-trodden wooden floors and
    tables unadorned with cloths; it’s in the menu, too, mainly British with
    a Gallic burr, that makes full use of the magnificent
    local Lake District larder.

    Stornoway black pudding with crispy egg and bubble and squeak:
    ‘pure Cumbrian comfort by way of Lewis’, is
    Tom’s verdict

    We’re here with Peter Gott, that great Cumbrian hero,
    and the man behind Sillfield Farm, who has invited me up to cook at the Westmorland County Show; also chef Phil Vickery,
    who certainty knows his alliums; and the force of nature that is Lorraine Stanton, something of
    a legend around these parts. But first dinner, and a sublime twice-baked Mrs Kirkham’s cheese soufflé, the texture as
    light as a sigh, the flavour profoundly, lasciviously rich.
    Mrs Kirkham’s, now made by her son Graham, is one of the world’s great cheeses, and this is a soufflé of quiet majesty.
    A mushroom soup is equally splendid, managing to be both light and gutsy,
    while Stornoway black pudding with bubble and squeak and a deep-fried
    egg is pure Cumbrian comfort by way of Lewis.

    There’s a fundamental generosity here, matched by assured technical precision. Duck
    à l’orange sees a plump breast cooked rare, the skin crisp, the sauce just the right side of bitter.
    It comes with a fat potato fondant and cabbage spiked with
    shards of smoked bacon. I eat rump of lamb, four vast just-pink
    slices, drenched in the stickiest, most gloriously intense of gravies; by its side, a tiny shepherd’s pie,
    one bite of pure ovine brilliance.

    Puddings are every bit as fine: a lemon tart, beautifully sharp, with damson sorbet (this part of the Lake District is
    famed for its damsons); along with a banana soufflé,
    this time the classic version but ethereal, served with vanilla ice
    cream and a pot of sticky-toffee sauce to pour deep into its molten centre.
    This is good old-fashioned food, immaculately done, in the sort of pub designed for lingering.
    It’s getting late now, and we’ve an early start.

    But first, another bottle of wine. Dinners like this are too rare to be rushed.

  30. Hey this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs
    use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with
    HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so
    I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

  42. My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less.
    I’ve been using Movable-type on a variety of websites for about
    a year and am nervous about switching to another platform.
    I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net.
    Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
