Repeats

I don’t know what to read now that I am almost done with the Lindsey Davis “Falco” books. I started re-reading Ellis Peter’s “Brother Cadfael” books. This summer I lent them to Kathy the librarian and she had a great time with them. But, in talking with her I realized that I had forgotten many of the plotlines of the stories. Now that I have the complete set (Thanks to Kathy!) I plan on re-reading them and interspersing the books with the DVDs of the show starring Derek Jacobi.

Also in repeats is the complete (14 episodes) series of “Firefly” in anticipation of the September release of the film “Serenity.”

www.netflix.com provides me with all the DVD’s I can handle.
As for books, my thanks go out to www.amazon.com, Borders (a chai latte, please!) and all the used books sales I can get to.
For anything I can’t find in any of these places, I go to my local library. (Interlibrary Loans are SHINY!)

Dr. Who marathon

I feel a bit behind on my movie watching. With the new Doctor Who television series back after a hiatus of nearly 15 years, I feel compelled to watch all 26 seasons from the beginning. Unfortunately, not many are out on DVD (netflix) and I only have the episodes on tape that have the Master in them. I just LOVE a great baddie!)

Right now I have the last Patrick Troughton episode available on DVD, “Seeds of Death” (not to be confused with Tom Baker’s “Seeds of Doom”). The DVD’s have the nicest copies of the tapes that are available, plus so many extras, special features and easter eggs, that it took me nearly a week to get through this six episode series.

The list of DVDs available from the Jon Pertwee years is thin:

Spearhead from Space (1970)
The Three Doctors (1972)
Carnival of Monsters (1973)
The Green Death (1973)

But I can supplement them with my Master episodes on tape.
