Ok, so elo_sf the BBC has set the release date for Doctor Who series 2 as November 20, I believe our Xmas gifts for one another are a given again this year, don't you think? Also they've got a Cybermen boxed set in the shape of a Cyberman's head...if I didn't hate, hate, HATE them so very much for killing my beloved Adric I would be sorely tempted.

I would recommend that anyone who hasn't seen the season finale avoid my comments section because I hope that several of us can discuss it there. It was so fucking good. I mean, just amazing. It totally made up for the more crap-tacular episodes this season and was a fitting end to Billie Piper's run on the series.

So I did miss the Bauhaus/NIN concert Saturday, and I continue to attempt to find a silver lining to that. If I do come up with one I'll be sure to post about it. On the plus side, I suppose, my inability to eat most of the time now has made my whole weight problem a thing of the past. Although it does feel incredibly screwy to get on a scale and think, "Oh good my weight hasn't gone down any more, go me!"

Anyway, I still managed to have a mostly good weekend seeing lots of folks and helping ravenmb have what seems to have been a very happy birthday.

I was delighted to see the Cybermen had ranged weapons, but even more amused (well, my "EEEEEEEEEE" might have seemed rather less than amused) when the Daleks turned up.

Their smack-talking sequence was utterly delightful ("Identify!" "Identify!"), and there were so many "whoa" moments throughout the ep as they fought and fought. Such fun.

I really liked Rose's end, too. I keep hearing people say they wish she'd just been killed off, and that this was a cop-out, but I totally felt the reverse, and was really satisfied by this. Plus, y'know, the "awwwwww" moment and "Ten needs a hug!" and all of that. o.O

I did get my Nine DVD set in the mail, and wanted to ask--are there more than the Confidentials and the Christmas Invasion preview included in your set, or was that it? I really like the packaging for this, and will have to bring it in to show you, next time I'm in town. Yay slimline!

I think that was all that was in mine, but I need to double check that. I'll try to remember to do so tonight.
