Rushing in. using Kevin's computer again, and I think I'm going to bite the bullet and buy a new laptop. Will look into finances this week, hope I can afford it before Christmas. But, ooh, I've been reading the Doctor Who novel King of Terro (aka Turlough Gets An Anal Probe), which I've previously skimmed, and discovered the following:

- it has too many characters, a confusing plot, relies on far too much book canon and is not all that well written
- but it justifies its existence for three things:
- the Doctor's line "I was such a disappointment to my parents", because HAH, no looms (screw you, Lungbarrow)
- Turlough doesn't have nearly enough screen-time page-time but I love what's there (especially him going on the pull because if there's one thing he knows about America it's that the ladies like an English accent)
- when listing his favourite bands, a character name checks Dingoes Ate My Baby. CANON. FUCKING CANON. Even though I don't regard the books as canon, that SO IS. (connorbeast asked "are you going to look for the novels with Ian and Barbara's rock star son just to slash him with Oz?" Yes. Yes I am.)
