Geek Public Service Announcements

1. The second to last episode of this season of Doctor Who (“The Stolen Earth”) ends with a huge, HUGE cliffhanger. I can’t wait to see the finale this Friday. BUT…if you’re here in the states and behind on your Who watching and have a bunch of episodes queued up in your DVR…at the end of the episode, when “To Be Continued” flashes on the screen (in the same style as the opening credits), turn off your recording immediately! Stupid, stupid, stupid Sci-Fi channel shows a preview right after that which pretty much gives away what happens next. You have been warned. (Still can’t wait to see how it all turns out but….grrrgh. Stupid Sci-Fi.)

2. This weekend, we watched part of G4’s coverage of Comic Con. There were lots of people having fun dressed up in costumes. But for the love of God, if you have a round head like Charlie Brown, don’t dress like Batman. Batman needs a chin.

Happy Monday!

If I have a round head like Charlie Brown, is it okay to dress like Robin? Or, is it best to stick with dressing like Chief O'Hara from the TV show?

Hiya Sparkle!

Robin is fine. Go for it! Robin does not require a chin. Only great legs.

I watched the Stolen Earth this weekend! (I can't believe I'm finally caught up on episodes!) What a crazy cliffhanger!! But the way it recorded on DVR, I didn't see the preview, so the suspense is still building! LOVED the scene where the Dalek got blown up by Rose right when we thought Donna's parents would die.

Must see pictures of Charlie Brown head dressed as Batman, this sounds too funny!

I caught up but was DVR both episodes and going to watch them together.

Okay. Chief O'Hara it is!

I thought IANO specialized in Allman Brothers action figures and lunchboxes?

 
At 9:34 AM, Blogger Lois Lane said...

Yes! Didn't you see the new limited edition line of dolls....er, action figures?

Gregg Allman as Batman. Gregg Allman as Charlie Brown. Gregg Allman as Doctor Who. Gregg Allman as Greg Brady. Gregg Alllman as James Brady.
