The picture of the hot babe can only mean one thing: It's time for a post about Dr. Who!
Charlotte Church (above, in a futile attempt to distract you from how geeky this post is) has just been cast in the new television show I may have to move to the UK for: Torchwood, an adult spin-off of Doctor Who.
Now, you have to understand. As a kid, I loved Dr. Who more than pedophiles love Star Trek. I mean, I had my mom make me a friggin scarf. I haven't watched it again as an adult because I'm truly terrified that I'm going to be disappointed (much the way I was re-reading Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Torchwood, however, sounds genuinely fun, not least because it sounds a hell of a lot like Ultraviolet, the MI.5
So what do you think, am I just getting my hopes up?
Comments
Ultraviolet was great. I've never watched Dr. Who, but I saw the new guy on the cover of some magazine and instantly liked him. So maybe I'll have to download it. Er I mean find somebody to tape it for me.

Also, I just Googled "Torchwood" and somebody points out that it's an anagram of "Doctor Who." Oh, that's good geeky.

>an anagram of "Doctor Who."
Hence my link to Francis Heaney, author of the Holy Tango of Literature and my point man on all things anagramatic. Hey look, he's got a Wikipedia entry. Talk about geeky!
