Monday night I took part in Sci-Fi Party Line’s podcast #40 where we discussed the old & new versions of V on ABC and The Prisoner on AMC. We also talked about Doctor Who: Waters of Mars, which will be podcast #41 from Sci-Fi Party Line.

                          

Thanks to my friends at Sci-Fi Party Line for posting this on Twitter and bringing to my attention. It’s the first look at the new Doctor Who animated set of episodes called “Dreamland” with David Tennant playing The Doctor. He’s my favorite and I’ll be sad when he goes. Not sure if I’ll like Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor.

                          

This is bloody hysterical! Looks like Al Roker lost some weight there. This is from NBC’s Today Show from Friday, October 30, 2009.

                          

Jon Stewart of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show is a big Public Image Limited (PiL)/John Lydon fan (that’s Johnny Rotten of The Sex Pistols if you didn’t know). He even had John Lydon on the show once. So when the time came to spoof the U.S. Health Care Reform Bill’s Public Option, Jon and his writing staff went for it. They used the logo from Public Image Limited and turned it into “Public Option Limited” on tonight’s show. I’m also a big fan of Public Image Limited (and of John Lydon’s solo stuff & The Sex Pistols) so I spotted this right away.

Last week I was on a podcast about the new movie Zombieland. You can listen to the main podcast here from Sci-Fi Party Line, which is all about Zombieland, and then you can listen to the Sci-Fi After Party podcast here where we talked further about other shows like Stargate Universe, Doctor Who, and Fringe. Thanks to Cat and Eric for having me on and I look forward to joining you again!

                          

Robert Llewellyn, Kryten on the BBC sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf, just announced on Twitter that Series 10 is COMING! The scripts have been commissioned and they filming won’t start until sometime in 2010. Below is his tweet:

This is GREAT news for all Red Dwarf fans! I’m sure more news will be coming, but probably not too soon.

UPDATE 10/11/2009: Robert Llewellyn tweeted this morning that this is still not official yet…

@bobbyllew Want to re-state that UKTV, aka Dave have commissioned Doug Naylor to write scripts, still a long way to go before it’s all official

All of us Red Dwarf fans will be hoping to see a new series! And until it’s all official, we’ll have to just wait and see!

Thanks to my friend @FancyFembot/@SciFiPartyLine for this info… The new logo for the new Doctor Who.

Also, over at SciFi Wire, they have a post on which Doctor Who logo is cooler. I never got into the older series, but watched all of them with the logo used for Doctor #9 (Christopher Eccleston) & Doctor #10 (David Tennant). So I prefer that one.

I’m not sure if I want to see a new Doctor (Matt Smith – #11). I really live David Tennant as The Doctor. I really, really do. I will miss him. I’ll enjoy the last few episodes with him.
