Fannish Items of Interest

Three clips from the next episode of Doctor Who—The Beast Below—have been released, along with a short introduction of the episode from Moffat. You can watch them all here, at Blogtor Who. From that, I think I’m starting to like Amy just a little bit more.

This is Fandom Appreciation Week.

Io9 lists the biggest tearjerkers in sci-fi. They’ve left out The Body, A Hole In The World, and quite a few others. A lot of the ones that should be there are listed in the comments. whedonesque discusses the list here.

There has been an episode of a cartoon or a special that I have been trying to remember for over 20 years. The only things I could remember about it were that a lunchroom scene was involved, and a bully put taffy in a sandwich. This is so vague a memory that not even whatwasthatone could help when I posted something about it a long time ago.

Today, I was digging through the Wikipedia page for The Nostalgia Critic, and saw that an upcoming review will be The Care Bears Movie. So I just randomly started looking through episodes, and saw one was called Braces. Well, that’s what I remember. And a clip from the scene in question is here, the part I remember finishing within the first 21 seconds. The episode was aired in September of 1985 (so I was 4, as I thought) and I probably only saw it once. Can’t stand the show now that I’m older, but at least I know what I saw now.
