Fannish Items of Interest--Mostly Doctor Who Related

The Guardian gives a moment-by-moment account of the Doctor Who panel at Comic-Con. Digital Spy does something similar, with a little more detail.

Found via torch_wood: John Barrowman—in 1994—interviewing William Shatner about Star Trek: Generations.

The latest Doctor Who: Waters of Mars trailer has been released--you can watch it here.

The trailer for Tennant’s final episode was also released around the same time--but just at Comic Con for now. It’s called The End of Time, and you can watch the trailer here. It’s not very good quality, as it was filmed by someone who was filming the screen during Comic Con. And a slightly cleaner version can be seen here.

The Sci-Fi Channel (or Syfy--whatever they want to be called these days) is having a Doctor Who marathon today, beginning at 7 AM CST. It’s season 3, and starts with The Lazarus Experiment. Looks like it skips around, but they will be showing Blink, Utopia, Sound of Drums, and Last of the Time Lords later.

Writer's Block: Bite Me

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Varney the Vampire--a bite from him would take 500 chapters to finish. So that's a no on that front. Nosferatu? He spreads plague via a ship filled with rats, so that’s a no. Definitely not when it comes to the Buffyverse vampires, since the soul is gone entirely. Besides, Angelus (or Drusilla) would drive me insane first.

I’m not the glittering sort, so those Twilight vampires are—thankfully—immediately out.

If I had to get bitten, maybe Barnabas Collins--since Julia Hoffman should have made him an antidote that actually works by now, so I won’t be roaming the docks very long. Maybe Sita, from The Last Vampire (written by Christopher Pike). She always seemed interesting, and I think she was still able to function during the daylight hours.

Either Dracula or Carmilla might be okay, too. I like the classic vampires, obviously.

There was also one that travelled on moonbeams--Dr. Polidori's Lord Ruthven. Throw him in as a possibility.
