Computer’s fixed and I’m back.

With Prime TV finally getting their arse into gear and Season three of Doctor Who starting tomorrow (yay!) there have been pictures of the Doctor and Donna over TV coverage everywhere. My fangirl heart is pleased.

Also, I’m loving the stuff coming from the BBC regarding season 4 - "Of course, she'll still be brave and heroic sometimes, and she'll save the Doctor's life, but equally... for example, there's one episode where they land on an alien planet, and the first thing she does is go back in the TARDIS to find the right coat!"

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – the Ten-Donna team is going to be brilliant! I want season four now!

Meanwhile, I’ve decided that if you go through this journal and replace "Doctor Who", "Pirate of the Caribbean" and "Harry Potter" with “All Blacks” "World Cup 2007" and "Rugby" than by New Zealand standards my obsession's would be embraced by the masses. I do hate the fandom double standard between sport and books/TV/movies and it is really bugging me at the moment with wall to freaking wall coverage of rugby in the lead up to World Cup. I’m so incredibly sick of it. There’s something rugby related in every ad break. The New Zealand Herald is counting down the seconds until the World Cup starts on it’s homepage. Make it go away!

I have to warn you this is probably going to be the first of many posts in which I rant about rugby. I feel I have a lot of rage about the topic at the moment, even though I usually enjoy it.

And, in Harry Potter stuff, [livejournal.com profile] hades3 pointed out to me something I wrote back in January 2006 and had completely forgotten about: "The way the war will turn will be represented by the decision of Narcissa Malfoy." (Actually the whole later part of that entry was pretty much onto it).

Ha ha! Something I predicted was right. This is big for me considering pretty much everything else I ever predicted for book seven turned out to be wrong. *Does happy I was right dance*

I know. The rugby is only to get worse, and it is quite painful really. I mean, I don't hate rugby, but in most cases I don't go out of my way to watch it. I will watch the All Blacks if they play (and only if it is on at a NORMAL time of day, not 1am in the morning, and only if there is not something else better on). But this nation lives for that sport and seems to ignore everything else. Sadly.

I quite enjoy the NPC. I think the less it’s rammed down our throats, the more I like it. Hopefully it’ll all be over by October and we can all get on with our lives for another four years (actually I’m quite looking forward to the 2011 World Cup, the influx of foreign supporters due to the Lion's Tour made for an awesome night out a couple of years ago).
