It took a while for Martha to grow on me too because I really liked Rose. <br /><br />I've seen some sites on the net that have the Confidential episodes, but I'm not really sure which is the best source (The hubby usually does the internet trawling. I'll check with him). The shows are definitely worth watching - if only to hear David Tennant's real accent. :D<br /><br />Jennifer - LOL! I know what you mean. It's a classic!

I do have to say the Martha Jones switch in Season 3 annoyed me more times than not but in the end where she tells him "This is me getting out" - I have to say I liked her very much right there.C.M.

I recently watched Scott Pilgram vs the World (great movie!) and would love to see Michael Cera suspended in front of a blue screen, but usually I think it would take away some of the magic.<br /><br />And as a snowed-in reader, your video was a breath of fresh air.

Three words for you, my dear: Dr. Who Confidential :D <br /><br />Kelly - I've noticed that more and more books are offering additional content on places like the author's website. I'm really curious if a person's attitude towards movie extras translates to books as well. Hmmm, indeed! :)<br /><br />MuMuGB - We had a great time. Thanks! :) (My dad used to work as an expat in Jakarta too. Nice place and great food!)

I miss Asia a lot (hubby used to work in Jakarta).<br />I like the deleted scenes and the bonus features because it gives me a different perspective and shows what could have been.

Book-wise - my obsession started over at JK Rowling's website. You had to search the site for clues, play games, unlock puzzles all to get bonus materials which made it all the more awesome. I love finding out all those little hidden secrets that only the author knows.<br />As a writer I think it is just as fun to reveal what’s behind the curtain to my readers. Every now and then when I’m coming up with backstories and such, I get this tingly a-ha moment when I realize a certain thing that would be perfect for bonus materials which I love because those are all about the fun!C.M.

As for the bonus features...I don't have your drive. I don't watch the bonus features very much, and the fiction I write I guard very closely. It's funny because my non-fiction is so "real" with absolutely nothing hidden. So maybe that's why, for me, I don't want to know what goes on behind the scenes for the made-up and make-believe. Great food for thought.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
