Closing ye olde tabs, which means it is time for linkspam with commentary!

+ Series 6 Doctor Who to be split in two, which I'm sure everyone and their grandmother already knows. I am totally fine with a halfway cliffhanger, because it means More Plot, and, god help me, I actually trust Moffat with plot. (I should probably learn from the past, though; I mean, RTD's s1 finale was great, and then ... well.) Mostly, though, I love that from this article I have discovered that Karen Gillan is taller than Moffat. But I suspect that Karen Gillan is taller than everyone.

+ David Tennant is in a thing called Fright Night! I know absolutely nothing about it, but I am digging it regardless, because [a] David Tennant looks like Jack Sparrow's pale spindly cousin, [b] Colin Farrel is an evil vampire or something? BWAHAHA and [c] ANTON YELCHIN! As a high schooler who battles vampire Colin Farrell with weirdly bearded David Tennant! I am cheerfully resigned to the fact that I now base my choice of entertainment by how much the very concept makes me laugh like a hyena in public spaces.

+ Peter Wingfield answers Highlander questions, and man, I'm pretty happy that he's still willing to talk about Methos' stupid face twelve years later. I wish the questions were numbered, because then I could shriek about my favourite answers in shorthand. In any case, I am a bit in love with him talking about Methos the optimist and how he desperately wants to believe in love, oh my god; I also love what he said about whether Methos was forced to join the Horsemen. Basically, I am kind of thrilled when Peter Wingfield talks about Methos, because I inevitably end up sitting there feeling smug and fuzzily justified in how I read Methos. YAY.

+ Gaiman's 'Sandman' to be adapted as a TV show. It sounds pretty preliminary at this point, so mostly I am just going to sit here and hope that [a] they get Neil involved in the project and [b] holy god they don't bring Kripke on as showrunner -- or, if they do, that he sticks to the goddamn script and does not kill all the ladies. (To be honest, though, I am mostly just wedded to the idea of Benedict Cumberbatch as Dream and Ashley Greene as Death. Don't look at me like that, it'd be great.)

+ String quartet cover of Lady Gaga's 'Alejandro', which I have been listening to pretty much on loop for two days straight. Which is funny, because I like a lot of Lady Gaga songs more, but believe you me, Paparazzi and Poker Face sound freaking weird in string quartet, and Bad Romance just makes me want to sing along to it. I don't care that much for the actual version of Alejandro, but damn, this one is gorgeous.
I doubt I am finished watching Star Trek -- seriously, can one ever be done watching Star Trek? that would be like watching all of Doctor Who -- but I've watched enough of TOS proper for now, so I want on to Those Three Movies That Are A Bit Decent. And I think I kind of love the movies! They have all the absurdity of the show, and effects that are halfway decent while still being bad enough to be totally endearing, and Uhura actually does shit, and I never actively want to punch the screen for being awful to women! It's like magical delicious sparkles and even more Kirk/Spock than usual, which I didn't know was possible.

And then I talk about Wrath of Khan, Search for Spock, and Voyage Home a bit more! I liked all three of them, but the sheer tasty crack of Voyage Home sort of eclipses everything in the universe. THEY ARE NOT THE HELL YOUR WHALES. )

Anyway! That was great, I am starry-eyed and giggly, and I want to write ALL THE FIC. But I want to write all the fic for about half a dozen fandoms right now, so who knows what'll actually happen.
