You knew that, sooner or later, Hugh Jackman was going to do this:
This just in: Doctor Who’s Peter Capaldi is the sweetest man ever
No man stands so tall as when he stoops to ask a child dressed as a Dalek if he can be The Doctor.
There’s lots of cool moments in this video of Doctor Who filming at Mermaid Quay, like the first scenes by new recurring castmember Samuel Anderson as Danny Pink.
But right at the end, there’s is a moment of new Doctor Peter Capaldi talking with a little girl who came all the way from Aberdeen to see the shoot. While security tried to get him to keep moving, he took the time (along with signing endless autographs) to make her feel better about what is surely her first case of New Doctor Angst.

Weekend Window Closing Wrap Up: December 22, 2013
Closing them on my desktop so you can open them on yours. Here we go:
- Trading on Charlie Brown’s good name: What a cheap ripoff.
- I Am So Very Tired:

I am tired of being mocked by hypocrites who think that a single lazy counterexample is sufficient to debunk the fifteen detailed examples they demanded I produce before they’d even accept my point as a hypothetical, let alone valid, argument…. In short, I’m tired of being a female geek.
