I put the next episode of Bugs on tonight and there was Peter Woodward! I'm sure he had less hair in Crusade and Atlantis, but he's bald in all three. I spent the episode thinking he really does have the voice to be playing an ordinary business man-type. And, oh, look, he's a bad guy. That came as a real shocker.

The strangest thing in it was their interpretation of internet and email, which is what you'd expect from a time when it's all a bit new. Which in 1996, it wasn't, not really. It was just a really, really weird email system that was sort of like instant messenger but using all the wrong words and just everything was wrong. They totally didn't anticipate spam though

I'm 4 episodes into series 2 at the moment, and while each episode is fine (although the one before last had lots of bugs in it and I really could have done with not being eating at the time) the overall arc is boring me already. Series 1 had tag scenes at the end that were just excruciating. Series 2 has a bad guy who is supposedly behind all the other bad guys this series. I can't remember the whos, whys or wherefores and really don't care.

Bring on series 3 - or more to the point series 4 as that's the one that got me into the fandom in the first place.

As part of Back to Middle-earth Month, the There and Back Again LJ, and HASA have been challenging people to write something based on the Tale of Years from March 3019:

In the "Tale of the Years" Tolkien tells us about what happens to certain characters each day of March 3019. We challenge you to write about the character(s) he does NOT mention.

So, I've written a drabble for each day of March, up till the 25th, and each one from a different character's point of view. Which is a hard way of writing 2500 words. And a pain to put here because I've got 25 LJ cut tags, the links for which I then have to copy back in WP.

But, I present to you, March 3019.
