wiseheartSaw a few pictures about John Barrowman's guest role in "Desperate Housewives", and I must admit that I like the new look. The different hairdo matches his actual age a lot better - he does seem aged quite a bit, but it's not a bad look on him. His face has lost that plastic-like quality... perhaps he's *not* allowed to use Botox while filming the series? Whoever forbade it him, it was a good idea.
Saw "Voyage of the Damned" and thus got introduced to the now-infamed Midshipman Alonzo - also known as Jack's new piece of ass, pimped by the Doctor himself. Wow, RTD must really hate both Jack (to force him to "forget" Ianto for this guy) and Ianto (to be replaced by someone like that). The character wasn't all that bad, actually... the new context is. But again, nothing RTD does to piss off the Ianto fans can surprise me any longer.
Watching "The Aliens of London" has spawned a brand new plotbunny: Tosh as a temporary companion for the Ninth Doctor, while Rose-bloody-Tyler is home, visiting Momma and trying to placate a rightfully angry Mickey. I've already figured out how and why I can get Tosh into the TARDIS, and I also know where the first adventure would get them: feudal Japan, courtesy of Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" series.
Now I'd need a good title (a "catchy" one, as Ianto would say) for the new series. Because "Toshiko Sato, Companion Extraordinaire" would be a but too long and way too unsubtle.
Any title suggestions for Dr. Who, Series 1.5, featuring Tosh as the Ninth Doctor's companion?
