Mark Spoils: Sunday Summary - May 22 - 28

Sunday Summary - May 22 - 28

So what does Mark have in store for us this week?

Well,
Monday - Doctor Who - The Rebel Flesh
Tuesday - Avatar - The Swamp
Wednesday - Avatar Day
Thursday - The Blind Bandit
Friday - Zuko Alone

And then on Saturday we're going to be getting the second half of our clone sage done with ''. (We're already mostly over with NuWho until the Fall! PANIC!!)

Also, I am looking for someone to start helping me with this blog. Work has been crazy and we're not even in the busy season yet! I can keep the posts going, but I really need someone to read the comments for me so that nothing happens in there. We're a very well behaved bunch, but I want to keep things that way and I just feel so bad about how much I have to ignore this place in favor of work.

So if you want to be a mod here, leave a comment and I'll start handing out permissions tomorrow!

A reminder for those with access to BBC1, the BAFTAs are on tonight at 8pm GMT. Doctor Who is nominated with Matt Smith in Lead Actor for the Doctor. Sherlock is also nominated for three awards with Benedict Cumberbatch for Sherlock Holmes in Lead Actor, Martin Freeman for John Watson in Supporting Actor and the show in general for Best Drama Series.
Full list of nominations in case you want to check if any of your other favourite shows are nominated.

E.L.S.O.S never feel bad or guilty, you set up this great site for us and you do an amazing job running it.

This week. This is a good week!

(And I think Zuko Alone is a good episode to have on a Friday - lots of awesome and no cliffhangers).

I'd be happy to take up modding this blog, if you guys will have me. I'm still a fairly new commenter here, though, and I don't normally follow the Dr. Who posts. I have this weird thing where I procrastinate on watching series I know I'll enjoy and have failed to start on it yet. It wouldn't bother me to start reading/modding them, however - spoilers rarely seem to lessen my enjoyment of a show.

You're a great bunch and I wouldn't mind modding here at all <3

Graham Norton is wearing a bow tie :D I'll let all the BBCless know if anyone wins anything here.

Sherlock misses out on the youtube audience award to The Only Way is Essex. (Really? So many other good shows in that category.)

Both Matt Smith and Benedict Cumberbatch lose out on Lead Actor to Daniel Rigby for Eric and Ernie.

And that's that. Largely good choices all round (aside from you youtube audience award, I'm still side eyeing you) and hey a Doctor Who promo after.

I'm a bit miffed that Doctor Who didn't win anything, but it's great that Sherlock won the Best Drama and Martin the Best Supporting Actor (loved his speech - so funny! XD ).

Also, on a slightly related note, apparently Martin let slip after the awards that Benedict Cumberbatch landed a role in the Hobbit! Now, it's not confirmed, and he COULD be just joking around (his acceptance speech was half-serious, anyway), so I'm holding back my excitement, but if it IS true, then BC FOR GLORFINDEL!!! Or any Elf, really.

Actually, scratch the Glorfindel suggestion, BC FOR THE VOICE OF SMAUG!!! <3 Imagine him voicing Smaug in his Alan Rickman-esque mode... *swoons*

Major excite for Northern Lights tomorrow!! I can't wait to see Mark's reactions (please love it, please love it!). I am re-listening to the first chapter audio-book stylie and it is AMAZING!

Also am curious to know Mark's thoughts on DW, a good episode I thought but a bit overly confusing- especially at the start.

AND in ATLA we meet Toph! It's gonna be a good week ;)

SPOILERY STUFF FOR HDM HERE (my predictions for some of Mark's reactions, basically)

1) Mark will wonder at least once, though probably several times, "Where is my daemon?"

2) After Iorek is introduced, he will wonder "Where is my panserbjorne?"

3) He will love Lyra.

4) He will be supremely creeped out by Mrs. Coulter's daemon.

ALSO HE IS TOTALLY GOING TO LOVE TOPH OMG SO EXCITE

oh hey I can read and comment on this post now. Cool.

I think he is gonna despise Coulter for quite a while. And the third book starts with Lyra's dream being weirdly cut up and interspersed through the first couple chapters, and he will have strong thoughts about that.

Uh, I expect obligatory personal anecdotes from him? This is kind of the books to inspire them.

Yeah, I'm sure there'll be lots of those, definitely. Agreed on the other stuff too.
