The Eleveth Hour, for Eleveth Doctor speculations...

will be at 5:35PM... UK Time...



Will you look at that? The next actor to portray the iconic Doctor will be announced tomorrow afternoon... or wait, no... it's already Saturday in the UK... so, it will be announced in a matter of hours! =)

I have no idea who the next Doctor will be, I just know that I want to know. I actually wouldn't want to know, had I had no idea that that there would be a need to make an announcement, but what are you gonna do? The cat's out of the bag, speculation abounds, and my curiosity is spiked.

Rumor has it that it will be Paterson Joseph who will be announced as the next Doctor, and, incidentally enough, the first Black actor to portray the role (side note: In America, he would be African- American, in the United Kingdom, would he be African- British/English/Londoner? This is a serious question, I would really like to know the phrasing, if anyone knows).

In all honesty, I'm not to keen on the him being the doc. Not sure why, though. But a big reason for me not wanting him is because he was already in Doctor Who. Although, yes, it was a very minor part in Bad Wolf and The Parting of the Ways, and yes, he never actually (at least I don't think) got to meet The Doctor, he was still on the show, and that to me, is a real put off. Because of that small fact, is why I don't understand why he would be the front runner and lead favorite in the betting pools.

Another name that has been thrown around is, Russell Tovey. For me, again, no. For the same reason. He was the Alonzo in Ten's "Alonz-y Alonzo" bit! To familiar a face, I'd say.

Just get someone new, I say.

My money was on David Morrissey, even while watching The Next Doctor on Christmas I though it would be him... that is, until about half way through the episode when his candidacy fell flat on the floor. He would of been great in the role, I think. He actually was, really, during that first half of The Next Doctor... damn... I'd say "What a waste," but that's just mean, and not actually true, because he was good in his role nonetheless. Same goes for John Simm.

I also thought that Robert Carlyle would be a good choise, a nice scottish accent, too. But alas, he was just recently announced to be the lead in the next installment of the Stargate franchise, Stargate: Universe (I'll blog about that later, hehe). So, yeah, he's out.

Someone I thought would have made a very good, very depressed-esque, Doctor would be Benedict Cumberbatch. I've only ever seen him in The Last Enemy, but I really liked him in that role. He was also in The Other Boleyn Girl and Atonement, for those of you who may not be all that familiar with the BBC mini series. But as for Doctor Who, well, I just read on IMDB.com that he got cast for some other BBC Sherlock themed project this year... so, if random postings on IMDB.com can be taken at heart value, then I guess he's out too. But, and this is going off topic, he'd make a great Sherlock, too, now that I think about it. =)

Hugh Laurie would have been awesome to, but he's of course is busy with House, MD. Haha... He'd be to much like Nine, in my opinion, anyway.

So, who's left to be Who? Lots of actors, surely. Some big name celebs (which is unlikely), and even lesser knows, I just can't think of any.

I've heard/read the names Eddie Izzard and James Nesbitt thrown around as well... but eh, I don't know. I don't even know these guys! LOL. I'm sure they're fine actors, though. =)

Like I said before, I'm sure the BBC casting department knows what they're doing, knows what they want, and will cast the right man.

Speculation is worthless anyway... I'm just really bored and feel like writing, hence this post. Hehe. And, of course, I can't deny that I'm a wee bit curious about the Time Lords regeneration. =)

This kiss will potentially be post-poned due to rain...

Greetings Folks!

So, I haven't written anything on this here blog for a while... Now, I doubt I have any regulars, constant lookie- lou's, or, lets face it, any readers at all, but I'm here now, and that's all that matters =)

Anyway, like I was saying, I haven't updated the blog for... what, a week?... but not because there has been a lack of material on my end, not by any means at all, I just haven't had the time lately. I actually do have loads of topics that I have set aside that I hope to get around to, hopefully some time soon.

So what's todays topic, you ask?

House.

Yes, again. I know I ranted about House a few days ago while I was missing Wilson's (or maybe it was Robert Sean Leonard's) presence on the show, but I want to rant about House again... so bear with.

Okay... I have never wanted to watch House more than I do right now!

Let me explain/ elaborate:

I can't remember if I mentioned in the other post, but I haven't been a regular viewer of this show for very long, in fact, I don't think the label 'fan' fully applies to me just yet. I've only been into this show since about the beginning of this past summer (2008), give or take. The first episode I can remember watching was the one that aired right after the Super Bowl (sorry, can't remember when that was exactly), and I was pretty drawn in... I really liked it... But then, I kind of forgot about it, or lost track of it, or forgot its airing schedule, or... whatever. Then I randomly, and by chance, caught the season 4 two part finale last TV season. And that was it... I was totally sucked in. I mean, how could I not be? It was just brilliant! Brilliant in acting, in story, in storytelling, in direction, emotion, cinematography, etc., etc.! Just brilliant.... and then of course I had to wait through the whole summer break to catch a new eppy! Hehe... But, being as how it was summer, I watched the season one DVDs... and that, along with what's been aired of season five, is pretty much all I've seen of House...

But now I've gone slightly off tangent from my original thought...

So, like I said, not a fan for very long... which is why I am so utterly surprised that I cannot wait for the next new episode... Frankly, I blame the damn FOX promos! Have you seen these things!? They're just playing at my hopeless romantic heart strings! LOL. I've been wanting House and Cuddy to have a little fling thing (I got over Cameron and House rather quickly... however cute those two were together, they were just going no where). So, imagine my surprise while I was peacefully watching The Simpsons a week ago and saw the new FOX November promo. It ended in... in... just awesomeness that literarily made me say "Woah!" out loud. Which was funny because, at the end of the preview, Wilson also says "Whoa!"... Well, here, take a look for yourself...



Not exactly the one promo I was talking about (in fact, this is the first time I've seen this specific promo), but I don't feel like rummaging through You Tube... besides you get the point.

Anyways, did you see House and Cuddy almost kiss!! =) Oooohhh... can't wait!! Sadly, I may actually have to wait! I know! Why you ask? Well, because today's 2008 World Series half played baseball game between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Tampa Bay Rays was post-poned until tomorrow Tuesday due to rain (first time that has ever happened in the history of World Series baseball, by the way). I'm actually quite optimistic that it will air tomorrow nonetheless, the game was already in the sixth inning, and they're going to start playing at 5 PM (Pacific Standard Time)... I just wonder about the east coast, because that's their 8 O'clock (House's time slot)... and I wonder if that will through off the whole TV schedule throughout the country...

Hmmm. ::shrugs::

Anyway and nonetheless, I can't wait to watch to see if that tease of a kiss ends up being a real throw- the- sexual- tension- out- the- window kiss. =)

Here's the actual promo for the episode, "Joy."




Take Care Peeps!

Oh... PS! ...Since we're talking about House, it means we're talking about Huge Laurie, so I decided to change the 'Video of the Moment' over on screen left. Check it out... I dare you not to laugh! Because you don't have to be British to understand, or 'get', British humour.

Night Night!

I'm THIS close to buying a volleyball....

I miss Wilson!!

House is just not the same with out him. And by 'House' I mean both the show "House MD" and the man House, MD... Seriously, it's just not the same without him there to quip offhandedly, look the other way and/or berate were applicable. Yes, Cuddy is there to fill the void by offering some, if not all, of these things to House, but it's just no the same... she doesn't have the same delivery as good ol' Jimmy (and by that statement, I'm not implying that the actress can't handle that kind of dialogue, Lisa Edelstein's great, but, let's face it, Cuddy's just not that girl in House's life... that's Wilson's role... as a boy....).

Speaking of Cuddy as the girl in House's life... I sure hope that I'm not the only one who was a little lost on what House really wanted to get out of showing Cuddy a real picture of himself as a cheerleader. Am I the only one who saw some kind of love thing going on there... or is that just wishful thinking on my part? (And yes, I do realize no one is actually reading this...) But, being the hopeless romantic that I am, I cant help but want something to happen between House and Cuddy... not anything sexual, and certainly not anytime soon, but some kind of loving hint? Although... she did stay by his bedside while he was sick after the bus crash that killed Amber... Hmm....

Anyways... back to the point... I'm pretty sure (::crosses fingers::) that Robert Sean Leonard hasn't gone anywhere, the fact that his name is still in the opening credits is a good sign, and as such, he's hopefully not going anywhere for a very long time (::crosses fingers::). It's just that after one full episode of 'House' without him in it, and then following that a week later with an 'Ugly' season 4 repeat... well... it just makes me miss Wilson.

Previews for next week have me hopeful. Not just because Wilson is back, but, because it seems like these two boys are going to have some time to chat things out... in their own unique way, of course.

Here's hoping volleyball season is over.
