Doctor Who Tonight! + Wildfires

Current Mood:



I really hope tonight's episode will be better than last week's.

The episode before that - "Let's Kill Hitler" - I liked. (Clips below). FINALLY, we have more answers in connection to River Song. After years of speculation we now know why she can fly the Tardis better than even The Doctor. (I love that we now know what she meant when a few seasons ago she told him - "It's a shame you were BUSY that day"). Honestly, there are a few things in LKH which I really liked. It wasn't the best episode... and I really worried at the beginning... but it was one of the best. We even got to see Rose, Martha and Donna - sort of - for a second.

I do wonder though what it was that The Doctor whispered in River's ear. At first, I assumed it was his real name but I always assumed she got that from the crib in AGMGTW since she can read Gallifreyan. Also, if that's what he whispered her reaction wouldn't have been the way it was in LKH.

And it was strange to see River not exactly knowing what was going on for a change. She didn't even know her own name for cripe's sake! Up until this episode, she was the one with all the "Spoilers."







The air was kind of smoggy around here yesterday. I didn't know until then that a couple of these wildfires aren't that far from us. One was even right here in Montgomery County. 5,712 acres were burned. Still, Thank God the fires here weren't as bad as in Bastrop. I'm so thankful that all WE saw of these fires was a little smog. Otherwise, I would have panicked. So far, one of the fires in Montgomery County is 100% contained, and the other 50% contained.



This is kinda near us, too:



Vids of Bastrop:





That 2nd video creeps me out when we see fire on the road, around the 2 minute mark. I can't understand why these people were driving TOWARDS it!

All of this is starting to freak me out a bit, so yesterday afternoon Mom and I swept up all the pine needles and dead vegetation out of the gutters, etc. We're under Mandatory Water Conservation right now, too. Of course, everything is dead anyway. You should see our grass. I think we'll all be fine here, but I'd be a liar if I didn't say I worry a little whenever we leave the house; because of our animals. At least most of our house is brick and we have fire proof shingles. That's a plus.

By the way, some people are so stupid. Here we are in a drought, the worst since 1917, and wildfires stretching all across the state and yet some idiots are smoking inside their cars, flicking cigarette butts out the window! Were they just born stupid, or what?
