They Fight Crime - Jorlem - 11-14-2011
Everybody has probably seen this site, but I just discovered it, so...
Quote:He's an
uncontrollable guerilla librarian haunted by memories of 'Nam. She's a
violent antique-collecting archaeologist from a different time and
place. They fight crime!
Is it just me, or does this come awfully close to certain iterations of the Doctor and River Song, if you replace 'Nam with the Last Great Time War?

Oh, cool, it's back. It was gone for a while, or maybe it was just down the last time or two I looked for it. Anyway, it's great to see this classic again.
