Fannish Items of Interest
When Torchwood: Children of Earth airs on BBC America, it will air uncut.
The rumor of David Tennant being Bilbo Baggins was funny, even if it wasn’t true. He would have been the tallest Hobbit the world had ever seen.
There’s a rumor that Len Goodman won’t be on the next season of Dancing With The Stars. Reportedly, his replacement is Michael Flatley.
I discovered this in a comment somewhere on my friends list. The Sixth Doctor—apparently in a Big Finish Audio—singing (with back-up singers) to the tune of “I am the very model of a modern major general.” It’s changed to “I am the very model of a Gallifreyan Buccaneer.” It’s actually funny, and all of the lyrics he sings are in the user info on the right hand side at Youtube.
An interview with Joss Whedon, where he discusses the fact that Dr. Horrible got an Emmy nomination, as well as other subjects. A discussion of the interview can be found here, over atwhedonesque.
In other news, someone was shooting fireworks last night. The problem is that these weren’t the kind that whistle. These were the kind that makes it sound as though a house (or transformer) nearby has just blown up. Imagine that happening at 9:30 PM, right as you’re going to sleep. Now imagine that happening every 30-45 minutes until around 2 AM. Not much sleep here. Going by what a neighbor said, it was possibly someone at least one street away. And then they started again around 7:15 AM, and went until 8:30-—I assume they used them all up by the time we left for church, since there’s been nothing since.
