"The Late Late Show" FAIL.

I had booked tickets to see Matt Smith on “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” which was yesterday. I was very excited to go to the taping because: a) I’m a HUGE Doctor Who fan (yes, I’m a Whovian), and b) I’m a HUGE Craig Ferguson fan (I love my Scots)

So, when the opportunity to go see a taping of Matt Smith going on as a guest on Craig’s show arose, I had to jump at it. Coincidentally, the taping (and the show-airing) fell on a Tuesday, which is my usual day off! So, I thought, “it’s money!”

An e-mail notification informed me that all those attending the taping need to be in line, at the CBS Studios by 3:30pm. Given, who came with me, and I thought that we could leave a little bit before 2pm, and we’d have plenty of time to get there and get in. We got to Beverly Hills around 3pm, parked at The Grove, and walked over to CBS Studios, where a fairly lengthy line had already formed. The naive person that I am thought we were going to get in for sure….. NOT. After waiting in line for about 20 minutes, we were told that the studio where Craig films his show is over-capacity, and that they couldn’t get people in anymore. My initial reaction was complete annoyance, but then, I quickly got over it, although I was still disappointed as we walked back to The Grove. I just kept reminding myself that at least it wasn’t David Tennant (my most favourite Doctor) that I’m missing out seeing, not that I don’t like Matt Smith, because I do. But I would really have pleaded and begged and made a scene if DT was the guest! I really felt bad for the die-hard Whovians who were waiting longer than I have, and couldn’t get in. One of them even drove all the way from San Diego, just to see Matt! We were walking back with a couple of them, and I was kind of eavesdropping on their conversation and they were really disappointed. I hope Craig does another “Doctor Who” Night on his show soon. OR he could have David Tennant as guest when his new movie (with Colin Farrell) “Fright Night” comes out next year!

Anyway, so that was a complete FAIL. Given and I decided to get some Starbucks to drown our sorrows in, and watch “Unstoppable” instead, starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pine. Of course, Denzel didn’t disappoint. He never fails to make me feel better, somehow. Despite the movie being so stressful, I really enjoyed it and thought it was a good movie. We capped off the night with dinner at The Cheesecake Factory next door to the movie theatre.

Goodbye, Doctor #10. :(

My thoughts on Ten's swan song. Fair warning: It will not make sense if you haven't seen it. ;)

Loved all of it! His moment with Rose (10's first companion) was the most poignant and it was proper that his last moments were spent with her.

I did, however, bawl when all he could do was watch Donna (3rd companion) get married from afar. For me, it's really sad that Donna never got a proper "goodbye". She will never remember him. Rose got to say goodbye and even got her own version of the Doctor (10.5) to grow old with. Martha (2nd companion), also had closure, and has done something of herself. She has become such a powerful and brave woman because of her time with The Doctor. But Donna. Poor Donna. Everything was wiped clean. No memories of her time with The Doctor, her best friend. I know that she can never remember him, otherwise her mind will burn and she will die. But somehow, I wasn't satisfied with how it all ended for her. I know that The Doctor made sure she was taken cared of (lottery ticket) before he left. But still, I just feel sad for Donna. I guess the fact that the other companions get to have and keep their memories of The Doctor and she doesn't, is really, really heart-breaking.

Anyway, David Tennant's scenes with Bernard Cribbins were lovely and heart-wrenching. John Simm, as The Master, was brilliant!

The scene that started the waterworks for me was when 10 was strapped onto the chair, after being captured by The Master, and he said something about Donna being his "best friend" and how he wouldn't let her be without a defense (or something like that). That set off the waterworks for me, The Doctor calling Donna his best friend. Sad. :(

Looking forward to how Matt Smith (#11) will do as The Doctor. Seeing his first few moments as 11 was a bit strange. It felt like he was forcing himself to act like 10. But, I have high hopes for him and will continue to watch (if they show it on BBC America), and would love to see what he'll bring to the character.

Long live, The Doctor!

"Doctor Who" Series 5 with the 11th Doctor (Preview)

I'm still undecided about Matt Smith being the new Doctor, but the new series looks to be very promising! A younger Doctor. I will miss the charm David Tennant brings to the role, but I'll give new guy, Matt Smith, a try.

First day of the new year.

Got home around 2am from our New year's eve fellowship at my pastor's (uncle) house. Then, tried to stay up for the next 3 hours, watching the "Doctor Who" marathon on BBC America that commenced around midnight. I crashed around 5am, and got up around 12:30-ish pm. Oh, the marathon's still on, and will be going on until tomorrow evening, when they show the last part of the 2-part special, "The End of Time" - David Tennant's swan song as the 10th Doctor. I've seen tweets about it (it's already aired in the UK). Even Jonathan Ross (host of "Friday Night with Jonathan Ross") has tweeted about it and has said that he and his family cried watching DT's final episode. Greeeeaaat. Imagine how I'm going to be! I already cried watching part 1! *sigh* LOL

Anyway, I'm at a loss with what to do today. Thinking of going to Disneyland today. Although, I really don't know if I want to deal with the crowds. I'd rather go when it's empty. I don't know what to do. *twiddles thumbs* Well, I suppose I should get some sustenance right now.

"Doctor Who: End of Time" - Part 1

Most of you know how much I love the sci-fi series "Doctor Who" and how much I'm in love with its star, David Tennant, who plays the Doctor in the series. So, when the news of him leaving the role to move on to bigger pastures came out, I was sad. Christopher Eccleston was the one who turned me onto this show when they had revived the show in 2005, but David Tennant was the one who hooked me.

Tonight, they aired the first of the 2-part special of "Doctor Who: End of Time", in which David's incarnation of the Doctor (a.k.a. "Ten") faces his end, and eventually regenerates to the 11th incarnation of the Doctor (which will be played by Matt Smith). I have seen the trailers for this, and after actually seeing the whole of Part 1, I am a mess! I was crying, I didn't think it would be that emotional. But it was! I really can't talk about the episode because I have to back-track all the way back to Series 1, it really wouldn't make sense unless you follow the show already. I can't wait to see the final part, which will air on January 2nd! It will be sad to see David Tennant leave the role, but excited to see how it will all happen on the tube.

This video clip is part of the Part 1, this particular sequence made me cry. It's very sad.

If you have not seen or don't know anything about "Doctor Who", I suggest that you queue it on your Netflix, or watch it on Youtube. It's a brilliant show, and it's for the whole family.

Part 2 of "Doctor Who: End of Time" is on Saturday, January 2nd, 6pm PST on BBC America!

"Bite me, Alien boy!"

These two are brilliant together! I’m gonna miss watching both of them as The Doctor and Donna! I think Donna is my favourite companion of the Doctor’s. She can really go toe-to-toe with him. And I love how she called him “Space Man”.
