redfiona99Saw a Holmes I hadn't seen before (yes, yes, I have a problem), called "A Study In Terror" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059764/), with John Neville as Holmes and Donald Houston as Watson. Not particularly good, with the dialogue letting it down. It does however explain where Moffat/Gattis got the "Mummy" thing from. I knew it wasn't from the books, and quite often they've pinched things from films. Robert Morley played Mycroft in this and him vs Sherlock was brilliant in the film.

Doctor Who
Because I've not been following the series properly, I missed that Ben Browder was going to be in it. Needless to say, I squeed.
Issac was also very intriguing. What's the over/under on him having done something horrible (not as bad as Kahler Jex or the Doctor but)?
And also yay, Toby Whitehouse script. And Adrian Scarborough. And Amy Pond. Especially Amy Pond for talking the Doctor down.
Of course I cried at the end, but hello, I was brought up on Westerns and Toby Whitehouse scripts hit me where it hurts.
Moto GP
It's been a been a bit of a weepie weekend. I foolishly watched the San Marino Grand Prix, and, well I, like everyone else, miss Marco Simoncelli. And I'm so pleased for Gresini and Alvaro Bautista, and I know he won't get the ride next year but please Gresini Honda, please consider Alvaro.
On lighter matters, I seriously become convinced that Jorge Lorenzo is a Bond villain. In between Spies's bad luck, and Pedrosa's terrible luck, there's only been one winner. And Spies's luck is apparently catching, and poor Karel Abrahms caught it. Two bike failures, and the kind of failure that leaves brake fluid on your tyres at that. He looked so down-hearted afterwards.
Pedrosa has also had bad luck but his pre-dates Ben Spies's. Honda are going to go spare, because even if Hector Barbera had yet another crash, it was their fault that he was anywhere in the Barbera zone to begin with.
Valentino Rossi is adorable. But that doesn't really need to be said.

Question - I need a US equivalent for "jury-rigged". Any suggestions? Or will jury-rigged do?
