Velcome to your doom

Of course, when I bring in a DVD of classical music to bolster my stash I play at work, out of literally three days of music to choose from, why does iTunes immediately fixate on Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor? Does it have an empathic interface I'm not aware of? (And if so, should I be surprised that it's in an Apple product first?)

In a slightly more upbeat note, glad to see the short-form Hugo noms -- of the three episodes I'm trying (with some success) to get my cow-orker hooked on Doctor Who with, all three got nominations. Then again, so did Star Trek New Voyages (...buh?) and the broadcast version of Razor, which, I gotta admit, misses some elements of the DVD version. Of the five, though, I'd choose "Blink," if only because it had a resonance that none of the others did ("Family of Blood" approached it at times, but it felt too diluted, by show's end)....

(Edit: Heh, and then it plays the scherzo from Beethoven's Ninth. That's more like it.)

Man, "Blink" was like the best thing on TV ever. You go, Hugos.

And last year's winner was "The Girl in the Fireplace," which is probably my favorite Who ep ever. Yes, I can't help it.

"Girl In The Fireplace" is hands-down the best Doctor Who episode ever. One of the few non-finale episodes that stands up to repeat viewings.
