Neil Gaiman's The Doctors Wife may quite possibly be my favorite Matt Smith Dr Who Episode ever. It was amazing and a half.

So anyone else like Vonnegut and I am a steampunk addict.

Ah.. so that's who wrote that episode. It was awesome and Suranne Jones as Iridis/Tardis Iridis was awesome!

And I've recently become a steampunk addict. I always like that whole concept of advanced clockwork and historical settings. I've been reading Stephen Hunt's Jackelian series. And just started Cherie Priest's Boneshaker (zombies and steampunk!) I'm up for suggestions of other authors books/series if anyone has any.

Lavie Tidhar's Bookman is cool
I also really liked White Chapel Gods by S.M. Stirling

I love Dr. Who! I've only been able to catch two episodes this season and strangely enough it was the same epidsode!

Unfortunately I do not like the new Doctor; he's a bit on the ugly side...but that's not why I don't like him. I just REALLY liked the previous Doctor. In fact, I think I may have had a bit of a crush on him?? Or at least wanted Martha Jones to get with him on a permanent basis; I really liked her too, she was pretty.

Now from the last Doctor's companion list, I absolutely couldn't stand Donna. She was just a twit! Too mouthy and rude...shall I tell you how I really feel? LOL.

Dark City

Blade Runner (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep) Philip Dick. What does it means to be human? The only way Deckard and other blade runners can tell the difference between advanced modes and humans is the Voigt-Kampff which detects emotions.

My favorite sci fi movie has to be DUNE. I've read the majority of the book series and they were pretty darn good too. A few of my favorite quotes from the movie:

PAUL: I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

PITER: It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of sapho that thoughts acquire speed, lips acquire stain, stains become a warning. It by will alone I set my mind in motion.

PAUL: Father! The sleeper has awakened!

ALIA: My brother is coming and he is bringing many Fremen warriors...

PAUL: Silence! I remember your Gom Jabbar, now you remember mine. I can kill with a word!
