Tonight - Sunday, 7/26 - BBC America is FINALLY playing Doctor Who's 'Planet of the Dead'.
I'm telling you this for two reasons.
(1) Doctor Who is awesome and if I could become any fictional character in existence, The Doctor would be tied with Catwoman and Doctor Girlfriend.
(2) Guest star Michelle Ryan - best known in North America for the misfire that was The Bionic Woman - is in Planet of the Dead as a booted cat burglar!
When I posted a link to the Lucy Lawless (in gloves) interview last week, I had assumed all of you could watch it if you wanted to.
But Gman pointed out to me - Hulu.com (as well as a ridiculous number of other sites) BLOCK non-USA IPs from viewing this content. It's a RIDICULOUS 'rule' to prevent the rest of the world from viewing our television shows before they air in the viewer's home country. Like you're supposed to wait a year before catching up on Lost or Battlestar Galactica. It's bullshit.
And then they WONDER why so many of people use Bittorrent (rolling eyes).
But there's a way for non-US residents to work around this...
Add &fmt=18 to the end of a YouTube url, and it will usually give you a higher res version of the clip.
April GQ - Grace Park, Tricia Helfer, and Katee Sackoff of Battlestar Galactica. I'll repost when I find an UHQ copy.
Just FYI - for the next 10 days, the first thing that pops into my head upon waking is an on-going mental countdown to the Season Four BSG premiere at 10 pm on Friday, April 4th. Words do not describe my reaction when I found this on the Live Journal 'Battlestar Blog' because it was like a high-pitched squee.
