Silence before the (oncoming) storm

Not long now till we get most, but not all according to SFX, of the S5-6 plots resolved. We know who River Song is but not who she killed. We know who is in the astronaut suit, or do we? We know the doctor dies, or does he? And what is with the eye patches that everyone now seems to be sporting?



Are they just a way to see the silence without forgetting and if so why are they needed after the moon landing broadcast caused people to attack them on sight?

The clock is ticking and I for one can't wait. This has been on of the strongest seasons of Doctor Who for me, right up there with Season 4. Sure I love them all but each year before has had a couple of weaker episodes but I've enjoyed everything this year. From the Gangers to the Pirates; from the River Song arc to Dark Lord Stormagedan. I can't wait for tonight; bring it on Moff!

Wow, the internet. Its big, its shiny and it does amazing things. Sure it was funded by the noble combo of Military spending and horny dudes p0rn site payments but we now have the ability to view ads from space.

Mmm, bet this makes you hungry

Or make work more interesting

But sadly it has a downside. With my work over at Outpost Skaro I've had the misfortune to see some of the dark side of the internet; an aptly name coward hiding behind the alias Mr Dark. Like most sociopaths he seemed quite nice at first but when he turned nasty it was a 10 on the nasty scale. After a quick vote his ass was booted; problem solved we though.

Nope, like most cockroaches this guy found someplace new to scuttle under and spread his filth. After he got banned from most internet Doctor Who forums ( in some cases several times) he decided it was all one mans fault. Having a hankering for being something in Doctor Who fandom he decided to take down someone who was ( well, in a very minor way): Eddie McGugian. Despite having nothing other than his name to go on Mr Dark has managed to furnish a blog ( copied several times, he likes an echo) that contains any scrap of info he could google on anyone called Eddie McGugian. Plus random stuff as what was there was to wholesome for an attack.

Thankfully his details are way of the mark but its rather disturbing how much effort this one person has put into attacking someone who has wronged him. Its not even a celeb stalker as Eddie, who I've known for years, is just a guy with a day job who does the Dr Who stuff in his spare time. Yeah he's got connections and through him I've personally got to do some fun and cool stuff, as have many others over at outpost skaro (and not just the staff, you should swing past it sometime) . Which makes the fraud allegation from Mr Dark very amusing to me.

Hopefully anyone who stumbles across Mr Darks post will also stumble over this and get a bit of balance. Or they can have look at Eddies blog and judge for themselves whether he's legit or not (if he's managed to fool over 10,000 people then I'm going to get him to start selling timeshare for me)
