News: Blink Wins Hugo

Posted: 10 Aug 2008 04:15 AM CDT

As amazing and wonderful as it sounds, yesterday's HUGO awards included a third Doctor Who episode written by incoming Executive Producer Steven Moffat as one of the winners. The HUGO for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form was won, of course, by Blink, the 2007 episode of Doctor Who which featured the Doctor and Martha seperated by the TARDIS by 40 years and only able to escape my means of a video extra hidden on every DVD owned by the rather tasty Sally Sparrow. The full list of awards...

News: Doctor Who Fans Disturb Show

Posted: 10 Aug 2008 04:04 AM CDT

This is the sort of thing that really hurts. The sort of thing that opens my chest, rips my heart out and dances upon it. The sort of thing that makes me look at Doctor Who fans sticking together in their self absorbed little cliques at conventions and in online forums and observe what a bunch of arrogant idiots they are. What made the mild-mannered editor of Kasterborous so angry? News that Catherine Tate's show Under the Blue Sky was disrupted by sonic screwdriver wielding Who-ers that...

Blink

Posted: 09 Aug 2008 05:42 PM CDT

It is not terribly surprising to see Blink win the Hugo for Dramatic Presentation, Short Form. I was pulling for Paul Cornell, but that was as much because Moffat already has two of them and not anything against Blink in particular -- I think the Human Nature/Blink combination is probably the best single DVD of Doctor Who in existence -- and possibly even the best possible Doctor Who DVD in existence.

Of course, it'll be interesting to see if Moffat will be able to keep winning Hugos once he is the showrunner...
