To tie-in with this week's Verity! where we discuss the Cybermen, I've written what is surely an inarguable and definitive ranking of all the Cybermen stories, oh yes. You can read this exciting list-type thing over here on the Verity! blog.

Ten Great Military Leaders, Probably Cranky Ones
This post is all Boudicca's fault. When reading lists of great female military leaders, Boudicca keeps appearing on them. And when these are usually lists of no more than ten people, I get a wee bit judgey at that. It's not that Boudicca isn't an iconic figure. She is. She, in righteous anger, raised a…

I’m so sorry, Emily Bronte
I'm terrible at dealing with jetlag. I've been exceptionally lucky this year and managed not to contract any sort of flu-like symptoms while in Los Angeles, and yet I'm still busy splashing around in a lovingly built pit of self-pity because, omg, the bloody jetlag. I'm tired, dammit! I'm tired and I can't sleep cause…
To the Gallifrey-mobile!
This blog post does slightly resemble a rabbit in a waistcoat in that it is a smidgen late, and according to my dubious schedule of "surely you can find time to write one of these things a week, self?" I'm actually due to write another one, um, today. But never mind! Let us move on…
Breaking Bubbles
My timing is amazing. This is Exciting News that was in a Big Finish news post over a week ago so, naturally, I had to take days and days to perfect this post and certainly haven't dashed it off in the last twenty minutes, that would be silly. But yes, news! Lovely news! Which is…
Awards Eligibility and Recs
It's that exciting time of the year where many creators of stuff fantasy and science-fictional do a very sensible thing: make a post about what creations of theirs are eligible for what awards. This is particularly useful for the absent-minded, who may have missed or forgotten something, and the lazy, who really really appreciate it…
Unfurl the New Year!
I'm sure I made some sort of decision, probably around Christmas after a little drinkie when everything seemed shiny and possible, that I would do more blogging this year. And that doesn't seem very likely to happen if I can't even manage one post in the first week of the year. Honestly, self, FOR SHAME.…
ChicagoTARDIS 2013
I'm heading off down to London tomorrow, then planing off across the Atlantic to the Americas where I'll be going to the smashing ChicagoTARDIS for Thanksgiving weekend.If you happen to be going to this lovely event and, goodness knows why, wish to see my, er, very informed and eloquent flailing in person, I'm on a…
Every Single Doctor Who Story Ranked From Best to Worst
There was an article on io9 a few days ago ranking every Doctor Who story from best to worst which, being a Doctor Who fan, I disagreed with, naturally. So in the spirit of Fannish Ire and 'omg how could you be so wrong' ness, I have made my own list. Couple of things beforehand:…

Doctor Who: The Enemy of the World, episodes 4-6
The loveliness continues, in episodes four through six: Episode 4 Giles vs the Doctor – OH THEIR FACES. The actor playing Giles is really v good. Look at his eyes! Shining fanaticism for ridding the world of Salamander in there, dammit! The whole aesthetic of the thing makes me yayful. How much of a television…
