While typing up the recap for "Blink," I invented a new word.  Like Stephen Colbert, I'm taking credit for it now.  It's a word to describe the recent spurt of people on television who are uncertain as to whether or not they are wearing pants.
It's called "Dispantia."  I've got symptoms and everything.  I expect this to be the new word for 2007 or 2008.

ETA:  Official definition

Dispantia:  (noun) The medical condition, which often afflicts males on television, where one is unable to remember if one is wearing pants.  Symptoms of this include, not only the lack of pants, but also to go sans trousers in public and the inability to remember (or sluggish recall) not wearing pants at a later date.

Other accepted forms of the word:  Dispantiated.  (Example:  I'm feeling a little dispantiated today.)
Synonyms:  naked "down there," boy / girl with no pants, stoner, Ewan McGregor, underwear challenged, lower half of wardrobe phobia

The recap is up, featuring a recap written (or attempted to be written) almost entirely in iambic pentameter.

It also has my favourite stage direction ever, featured.  (Exit, pursued by a bear.)
After much gnashing of teeth and some issues with the uploading process, the first two of my Doctor Who recaps are finally live.  They went up last night, but I was so tired after all the bugs were worked out, I went to bed instead of putting up notices.
They'll be going up in conjunction with the US airings.

The Runaway Bride

Smith and Jones

I'm currently writing the one for "The Shakespeare Code."  Sadly, I've already included a dozen Shakespeare quotations, a sonnet, and most of it, thus far, is written in iambic pentameter and rhyming couplets.  As I said over at Famesters, why couldn't they call it "the e.e. cummings code" that way I wouldn't need to use capital letters, or a great deal of punctuation!

Killed me.

Best line:
Doctor: You fancy someone and they don't know you exist.

Jack: You too? (Looking at Martha.)
