Fannish Items of Interest

Blogtor Who asked who the scariest monsters have been on Doctor Who—you can see their top 10 here. For me, it’s either the Weeping Angels or the Midnight creature. The gas mask kid isn’t nearly as scary when you first see him on the Sci-Fi Channel. Tons of commercials ruin most of the suspense. As I haven’t seen much of old Who yet, I didn’t know about Eldrad, Scaroth, or a couple others.

Over at beinghuman_fans, they’re discussing who they would want to see cast for the US remake. I love the suggestion of Felicia Day as Annie.

16 Bizarre Sci-Fi Episodes of Classic Sitcoms. Of those listed, the only ones I’ve seen are the episode of Dick Van Dyke, and Wings. I loved both of them—especially the former, when it was on Nick at Nite back in the 80’s.

If anyone’s interested—thanks to this whedonesque post, I managed to find the unaired pilot for Space Cases. You can find part 1 here. Radu’s ears were horrible. Catalina’s hair? Almost better than it was in the series itself.

Also, I have managed to obtain a handful of Big Finish Audios. I’ve never listened to any of the audio adventures before—which would people recommend that I listen to first?

Much as I LOVE Neverland/Zagreus and that entire story arc, I have to agree - it's not at all a good one to start with.

(first off, lizblackdog I love your icon to pieces and have been looking for something good with Eight, is it gankable?)

My vote goes for Chimes of Midnight or Master. Chimes is just awesome (granted, it migt give you slight confusion if you don't know the basics of how Charley & Eight met.) Master is a bit slow, but the back story it give to the Doctor and the Master's relationship is my absolute canon, even if it contradicts pretty much everything that happened in the last two specials.

Neverland/Zagreus is my favourite audio play ever, but agreeing with everyone else - NOT a good place to start.

sure, as long as you credit the maker - I got it from an icon post in one of the Who communities, so it was up for public consumption. and yes I know right? I love Eight SO MUCH.
