Sorry for the lack of posts over the past few days, I just got sucked into life and TV. Friday my boss had a bottle of wine to get rid of and I was the only one to show up so the two of us sat in his office and finished it. Needless to say I was in no frame of mind to write a blog post after that. (Did I mention I have the best boss in the world?)
I did manage to finish the Broadchurch series on Netflix. It stars David Tennant (of Dr. Who fame of course) only he gets to use his natural Scottish drawl. Can I just say I absolutely LOVE when he gets to talk naturally. His Scottish accent isn't so thick that he's hard to understand, but it's there enough so that it's noticeable and truly a pleasure to listen to. The show itself is also fantastic and I highly recommend checking it out. There is an American version on Fox called Gracepoint, however after watching a trailer for it, I can't recommend it. David Tennant stars in it as well, but he has an American accent, and he just sounds like he's labouring with it. Don't get me wrong, I love David Tennant, but it just seems like his performance is so much more muted when he has to do the American accent. I'll never understand why they didn't just leave him Scottish (or English, we know he can pull it off from Dr. Who). Also, from what I saw, it is literally shot for shot the same show, so try and get your hands on Broadchurch if you can.
The husband and I went to the local comic shop today, just to see what they had in stock. I was so excited to see David Tennant's Sonic Screwdriver (not the actual one, replica of course), and it took everything I had to walk away. I plan on going as the tenth doctor for Halloween next year so I will definitely be picking that up. They also had lots of Dr. Who merchandise like Dalek cups and an inflatable Dalek. There is a Tardis keychain I definitely want. Also, once I get my PhD I'm going to go and get either a coffee cup or a shirt that says "Trust me, I'm the Doctor."
