Welcome back CHP! I was worried there for awhile that you all had drifted away over the summer like our dear friends at CWC . Can’t wait to listen! (Also: I thought that the title was a reference to the new season of “Doctor Who,” which recommenced this past Saturday; a little part of me wanted there to be discussion on it. Hey, a girl can hope.)
Good to hear from you, Katelyn! While I don’t watch Dr. Who, perhaps we could get one of the others to blog on it. (I don’t know that they watch either, but one can hope, no?)
I’m afraid I’ve seen only one episode (the Van Gogh one), though I did watch last summer’s “Torchwood” miniseries.

ngilmour The new season of Doctor Who has been great so far! You should watch it. I liked the premier so much I made a Motivational Poster from it. My wife posted it to her blog: http://cheesewearingtheology.com/2012/09/10/motivational-monday-64/Honestly, people, I am surprised at the lack of Who-enthusiasm at such an otherwise-outstanding blog.
ngilmour Who-enthusiasm. Enth-WHO-siasm?
Charles H ngilmour – Thought the Asylum poster was great, and this is only partly due to my irrational love for the fictional character of Rory Williams-Pond. @Michial, lack of enthusiasm for the series is somewhat understandable if Torchwood: Miracle Day was your initiation to the DW-verse. I am utterly in awe that Vincent and the Doctor didn’t pull you in, though. One of the other great episodes to start with is Blink, which has David Tennant as the Doctor and Carey Mulligan as the pseudo-companion.
