Abandoned artichokes

Quite a few people brought food over for my Dr. Who gathering. Hardly anyone ate any of it. And none of them took it home. As a result, I have abandoned artichokes and garlicky things in my kitchen that could use a home. Please apply.

Many thanks to all who attended, and especially to those who helped me haul the two parts of a china cabinet up three flights of stairs before leaving.

As I am only really familiar with Dr. Who since the Eccleston eps I don't know how I would compare this with other exits - although the fan service "let's say goodbye to everyone we know before we explode" went on a bit too long even for sentimental old me. And seriously - how many "death scenes" can one actor have in an hour? But I blubbed a lot. Not sure how well it will survive repeated viewings, but I liked it. I'll post more coherent commentary after I see it again - mostly because we all sat and talked about Who and Torchwood and Sherlock Holmes and Windycon and costumers and furries and moving and Fright Fest and .......so at this point I've probably forgotten everything I decided about it.

So now the Doctor goes to eleven....

Ah, gomen! The etiquette that I was taught was you didn't take back the food you brung. I have learned to modify that into - unless the host wants you to. I can swing by and remove garlicky items after work tomorrow, but I'm *not* responsible for the artichokes. *snickers and ducks*

I haven't had breakfast yet. Or coffee. I claim no responsibility for any typos, missing words, or sillyness.

The GMNT is of the opinion that garlic improves almost anything (possibly excluding chocolate cake... ), and the more the merrier! I have to restrain him when he's cooking. Wish I could send him over to help.

Sounds like you need to watch some 'classic' Who and see how dreadful most of it was... It does have a cult following.

The regen (and associated "goodbyes") went on WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY too long! About five times as long as any I've seen. Admittedly, I've only seen T. Baker/Davison, Davison/C. Baker, Eccleston/Tennant and Tennant/Smith, so I'm no expert. Still, this was PAINFULLY long!

The regeneration of the Doctor in the past was usually the current companion(s) going "He's dead. Oh, no. Wait a minute, who the heck are you?" rather than "Let's say goodbye to everyone significant to this latest incarnation." Still, Tennant's version was the most strongly opposed to the transition, and the most "lost" in his emotions. Usually it's those around him that suffer most because of the change.
