The best Doctor, today.

[nonethefewer]

Mm, sneepy cat is sneepy.

I can't separate Dresden-the-books from Dresden-the-show.  I keep seeing elements from the book, done... mehly.  I can see all the stories that fuel the episodes, and so the episodes are kind of pale and loosely strung together.  And yet, I keep watching!  I am perplexed.

I have washed yet another batch of yarn.  Merino yarn feels mildly soapy even before soap.  Acrylic homespun stuff is simple - squeeze and go, no worry about felting.  I fret for my gorgeous periwinkle cotton yarn, but I knew I'd fret, so I threw a smallish hank in with the wash.  I'm using this eco-friendly mild-as-mild detergent and lukewarm water, then cool water to rinse.  I got permission to hang it all on the curtain rod overnight - after that point, I can usually safely put it on a plastic hanger somewhere.  I need to investigate, make sure I'm not doing something wrong, but it's going well.

Heee, back to WKRP.  *pats Hulu*  I like Andy.  And the Doctor.  I kind of almost want a mood icon set for this.  I'm sure it exists already.  I haven't looked yet.

...except the music is different.  ...?  Am I going to be very very irritated?

*irritated*

Yep, Dresden-the-show is a pale, poorly made copy of the books. And yet I watched every episode they made and now the actor's face is in my head when I read about Harry.

It's like... I want them to either drop some of the threads or flesh them out more.  You know?  They talk of this High Council - make it proper, not just a roving wizard's Mob.  Or drop it.  They bring in Tommy Tom - bring in the Mob, with Marcone, or don't bloody make Tommy Tom a gangster.  It all feels like "We'll get around to fleshing this out", and aiee!

Oddly, I have no issue with Bob.  I completely understand the editorial decision to make Bob a person rather than a spirit of knowledge.

YES. It very much felt like they were trying to cram too much in without actually doing so. Like when someone's telling a story and keeps mentioning bits of useful backstory without actually going into detail because that would distract from the main story, but then why did they say anything at all.

I can deal with bob. It would be difficult to make the skull not corny on TV.

WKRP Music

Yes, the music is different.

Blame copywright law. The people who own the songs refused to let them play it, so they took it out and replaced the music.

When I was an internet DJ, I was "Lance 'The Doctor' Lake" as a tribute to Dr. Johny Fever.
