But that's why it works. It's so absurd and almost blink-and-you-miss-it, and it's handled so calmly afterward: Brian crawling out of the crash in almost exactly the same place he'd left, and the bystander just telling him, "you lucky bastard."

The way he handled it frustrated me too, but in a way, it was also an interesting way to do it. Donna had grown emotionally and psychologically as he traveled with the Doctor, and all of it was undone: yet she got her happy ending in a way that didn't include the Doctor at all.

Yeah, I realized I misremembered it wrongly: that was the event I meant. But aside from me misremembering "reading out loud" to "acting it out," there was still some fallout in the fandom about it.

Very true. But even though a good chunk of us know it's Twilight fanfic with the names struck off, it's still not a direct fanfiction that can be seen as making money off an established property owned by someone else. Besides, she's not the first fanfic writer to pass off shit for money: Cassandra Claire got there…

Well, obviously Gatiss is pretty tolerant — he wrote that episode basically winking at the fans, saying "yes, I know what you're talking about" — but I wouldn't go on record to say they're *all* tolerant. Hell, that recent Q&A in England before the first aired episode, there was some big brouhaha in the fandom…

That's basically my concern, too. Smaller things are more likely to fly under the radar, though. This, however….I don't know. Sherlock is technically in the open domain from the first book to The Reichenbach Fall, I believe, but that doesn't mean the BBC might not feel they could get involved.

"however much it really may be."

And I just finished reading this story a few days ago. Huh. I'm all for fandom projects, but at the same time, I'm a little leery of people making money (however much it really may be) to produce and/or create something that they have no actual legal right to do. Kind of like when Lucas came down on the idiot who…

I think that's what annoys me the most about this episode (aside from the BS of "you married her because she's as fucked up as us and you knew it" when the first half of the episode is him GOING INSANE FROM BOREDOM because she is clearly living the life of a pregnant housewife and he's not known differently): the…

I'd like to know that too. Actually, I want to know why The Disney Afternoon shows in general get no love: only last year did they finally release the rest of the TaleSpin episodes (and only through The Disney Movies club), and all of the releases otherwise have been bare-bones crap. Don't they release how much…

I remember one that was years in the writing called "Gadget in Chains" on FF.net. She ended up in mouse jail after being framed by Lawhinie.

You're not alone in this. The full version of it (and the DuckTales theme) off of the Disney Afternoon soundtrack is on my player as well, and I have no shame in admitting that TaleSpin is as well.

I must have been a weird kid, because I had no problems understanding the Thembrians. Actually, out of all of the shows, I think I got most of TaleSpin's references, whereas even Darkwing Duck (which was my favourite) went over my head with some of them.

There must be some mysterious long-lost article out there that directly quotes Rowling saying Harry and Hermione should have gotten married, because not a single one otherwise has her saying that. I'm not sure if that just suggests there are far more Harry/Hermione shippers than I thought in the publishing world, or…

I went to Madison for Halloween once, about two years ago. They were barricading State street and disallowing people from coming in unless they paid. Still didn't stop windows from being broken.

**Also does not include the following: people from the rest of North America, Latin America, or anywhere else not within the 50 United States. Puerto Rico is still not included either.

But it wasn't great, either. Granted, it's not really so bad I'd nominate it for a Razzie.

"Always"? The Black Moon *was* the Tenth Planet, in one season. Otherdimensional beings, pissy Sun monsters, pissy Dark-Side-of-the-Moon queens, and pissy Sailor soldiers nonewithstanding, the energy draining bit really was only one season. One and a half, counting the hastily-written start to the second season.

No, Coulson is his good eye.

Because she was a goddess, and all goddesses must refer to themselves in the third person. Nevermind that Storm had been out of Africa and away from everyone "worshipping" her for several years by that point….
