Commercial. Now's a good time to apologize for another spot in "Aliens Of London" where I Cathica'd when I should have Suki'd, w/r/t the closed-caps. Before freakin' Harriet calls me again: the doctor in high heels I liked so much, that released the pig fauxlien, was Dr. Sato, played by Naoko Mori, whom I thought I recognized. But then when the caps called her Dr. Ru, I thought that meant I was an American kind of racist. Even though it was actually her voice I recognized, and not the fact of her being Asian. So I dropped the whole thing, when in fact, yes, it's the magnificent Titicaca herself, and the character will be on an upcoming BBC show called Torchwood that you just might be interested in watching, if you're into anagrams. Oh, and apparently, in some edit of this episode, Adam wanted this information and the wealth it could represent because his father was sick, but I imagine they left that out because it diluted the central themes and also made the Doctor seem like a nutsack. On the other hand, it would make last week's "in league with assholes" issue a bit easier to deal with. On balance, I like that it's gone.
