Hugo Nominations 2008

...have been announced.

As usual, I haven't read any of the novels, because I suck. I see Greg Egan is up for another award, but I still haven't finished my doctoral thesis in quantum physics yet, so I wouldn't get past the first paragraph of anything he wrote before my brain imploded.

Nice to see Doctor Who up for two, with 'Blink' and 'Human Nature'. And sexy Torchwood gets a nod for 'Captain Jack Harkness' as well. All that, and the CBC still dithers and dicks around about actually showing the shows they co-produce. I love Canadian cultural snobbishness, don't you?

While I'm not a lover of Trek, I was interested to see that Net only New Voyages getting a nod. And Razor as well. Nice choice all round.

P.S.--I just finished watching Star Trek: World Enough And Time. Very impressive. Easily the most enjoyable Trek I've seen in years. It's over an hour, so pour yourself a coffee and get a comfy chair.

It is nice to see The Doctor and Cap'n Jack up for awards. I thought 'Blink' was fantastic! I must say that it took a while, but we've warmed up to Torchwood quite a bit over the course of Series 1. And I will say that I think Series 2 is far-and-away a better crop of episodes. Errr...so I've heard because I wouldn't download something like that or anything. Just saying.

I don't download, since no one has ever fully explained to me how to do it. Not that I would, if anyone ever did.
