so, it seems that after a recent episode of the sarah jane adventures that the doctor has 507 regenerations. see what happened was, matt smith guest started and as they're crawling away from some sort of impending doom, mickey asks the doctor how he can keep changing his face and all. the doctor starts explaining and jokingly [as far as i can tell] he says he can do it 507 times. will this be how the bbc are going to get around the whole 13 doctors thing, because the question of how this series will continue does come up when we get to number 11 and the doctors are averaging 2 season a piece and nobody wants it to end. now i'm happy doctor who will now be able to continue on at least as long as i live, but i had kind of hoped that they'd just force the doctors to stay on longer and we'd have matt smith for at least 10 more seasons. at least. i like to perve on him. he's a honey.
speaking of honey's, benedict cumberbatch has been cast as frankenstein and his monster in danny boyle's adaptation of the mary shelley classic. that's right, both. the production is set to be for the stage and benedict will alternate the roles each night with jonny lee miller. can someone get me some tickets to england please...
i also found a video of lovely mr cumberbatch being extremely candid about wanting to be the doctor. he was actually asked if he wanted to be on an episode, but he seemed more like he wanted to take over the role. i heard a little birdie say that he actually auditioned for the role of the doctor and matt smith for sherlock but moffat had them switched. i think it's because he wanted cumberbatch for the master. how brilliant would it have been if smith had, in return, been moriarty...
my nerdy little dreams would have been coming true. i don't know how i feel about professor moriarty the way he was in the final episode. he's a bit fruity. i'm still not really coming to terms with it. i need to do some more extensive reading on the subject. i went to borders [i know, if you knew me years ago you know i wouldn't have been caught dead in there, but hey, it's a book shop and you can't knock that] today looking for a study in scarlet but they didn't have it. so now i'm going to look for some sort of box set. i'd like to read them in order, because i started reading the adventures of sherlock holmes and watson was going on about something and i didn't know what it was because i can't remember anything about sherlock holmes from when i read it as a kid.
also, while i was in borders today, rosso from merrick and rosso was signing books and no-one was going up to him. there was even a spruker, it was really sad. i smiled. he still looked pretty, pathetic. i didn't want to use that word but it was such bad timing. it was hot, people were coming in for specific things [like sherlock holmes] and not really wanting to stop. on the way out a lady stopped for an autograph and she even bought a book.
