Doctor Who

[serafina20]

Yay!!! I loved this episode. It went really fast for so much of it being... people stuck in traffic. And, yeah, the bliss thing was kind of Serenity-ish, but that's okay because for the last two weeks, the music has been kind of PoTC-ish (last week more than this).

Martha continues to be teh awesome. If the Doctor doesn't stop comparing her and Rose though, I imagine she'll start. I totally thought she was going to say somethign to the effect that if Rose had been then and not her, she'd probably know what to do (I also really,*really* want her to tell someone, very sarcastically, "What, didn't you know? Rose Tyler could walk on water.")

Sad for the Face of.. Boaz? Been around three seasons and now he's gone. Sadly just got spoiled for why the doctor isn't alone (or however he said it). Ah, well. Tis life, yo.

Um. The Doctor continues to be awesome, but I continue to miss Nine. I don't know why. Ten is adorable and has a wicked sense of humor, and I love watching him scream when his companions get taken from him. Still. He should degenerate into his previous form. Yo.

Oh, and my sister's awesome because she audtioned for a Broadway show yesterday.

>I also really,*really* want her to tell someone, very sarcastically, "What, didn't you know? Rose Tyler could walk on water."<

*dies* I so want her to say that too. And I think she's very nearly there, though maybe the Doctor actually sitting down and actually *talking* to her at the end there might've gone a long way in fixing that. And it's not so much that he's comparing her to *Rose* as much as he's comparing her to the really (no pun intended) rose-colored glasses version of her in his memory. I mean, honestly, would Rose *really* have known what to do last episode? Maybe, maybe not.

Oh, I almost forgot! Good luck to your sister! Hope she gets it! :D

No, I don't think she would have. She would have done the same as Martha. But in Shakespeare Code, the Doctor made that remark about Rose knowing what to do/say (which, yeah, she did often seem that led to something) but, yeah. He's definitely elevating Rose to a standard even she could never meet.

I am glad they sat down and talked. they both really needed it.

YAY! Thank god for someone with a brain.

There is so much Martha hate out there because she's not Rose. Those people, should get lives. So thank you for saying that. I'm glad it's not just me.

The Doctor continues to be awesome, but I continue to miss Nine.
Nine was very... raw while being sheilded also. I liked that, and the dark energy that ran through him. Just... wow. Ten isn't as wow, despite the happy-go-lucky kinda sheild that he puts up that sometimes (like at the end of Gridlock) comes down to bare his more angsty!soul.

I loved Rose, and now I'm loving Martha. I'm purposefully staying away from fandom because I don't feel like dealing with it. I'm here for the show and the fic (well. Less with the fic, since I'm not interested in reading het.)

I think Nine wore his pain very close to the surface. He was manic, but different manic than Ten. And the dark humor he affected really appealed to me. Ten keeps it much better hidden, and while I melt to a puddle of useless goo when he lets it down, I liked feeling it in the midst of the mania.

Plus. Nine was hot as *hell*. Ten is... puppy-cute. :P

Amen to all of that except the fic. I just don't read it anymore, and if I do, it's normally Jack/9 or (TW, Jack/Ianto.) *shrug* and to think last year I was opposed to fic. Back when I couldn't get enough of Sara/Michael in PB *groans*

That fandom scares me, and it's so full of fandomwank at the moment that it makes me cry.

Nine was absolutely gorgeous. I showed one of my friends that doesn't watch it pictures of both of them and she said "Fwoah, I'd tap that," about Chris but screwed up her nose at David. I then told her the ages and she didn't believe me. Hah.

Since I just got into this all about four weeks ago, I'm still madly looking for fic. i think I've read all he 9/jack and jack/ianto. I'll occasionally do Jack/Ten (and there's one gorgeous, if a little silly, Jack/Ten/Ianto) when I really want new Jack/Doctor fic. And I'm actually warming to Ianto/Owen, but only when it's like Owen's using Ianto out of desperation (of which there are only a few). So that's the main fandom I'm actually reading now. I just burned out on meta back with SV. I used to be so into it, but now, I just like to say what I feel about something and move on. I'm not looking to debate dissenting opinions anymore.

I then told her the ages and she didn't believe me. Hah.

I think one reason I loved Nine so much is because he was older. I've always been drawn to older men (although, the older I get, the younger older is; by the time I'm in my 40s, I guess I'll finally be interested in my contemporaries). DT is cute and all, but he doesn't zing. (Whereas, in PB, I'll take both Wentworth and Fitchner. Preferably together.:)

Well I'm sure once we get to episode eleven or so of Season Three, there'll be some more Jack/Ten fic because of his *cough* re-entry into Doctor Who. It'll be interesting to see if The Master rumours are true because there are some fangirls from way-back-when that shipped Doctor/Master (myself included recently actually) so that'll be a nice slash pairing... if, like I say, the rumours turn out to be correct. Ianto/Owen doesn't do it fo me, but that's mainly because Owen is such a *jackass* that I can't stand to read him. Especially if he's using Ianto.

Okay I have to admit, I've seen all of S1, most of S2, three or four (Lex!DaddyIssue) episodes of S3 and a majority of S4 of Smallville but none of Season 5 or 6 (I live in Australia, it's very hard to juggle so many TV shows when every day is a torrent watching day) but from what I've heard, it really hasn't gone down all that well anyway, Lexana for god's sake :p it should be Clex or nothing, because Lex's relationships always fail and so do Clarks. If a show degenerates then so does the muse I guess.

. I've always been drawn to older men (although, the older I get, the younger older is; by the time I'm in my 40s, I guess I'll finally be interested in my contemporaries).
Me too. Aldo Burrows? (Not in the show but damn is he pretty in photoshoots) William Fichtner, Chris Eccleston, Keanu Reeves, Johnny Depp. But like you say, Wentworth (who is, admittedly, only 34) too. Put him onscreen with William Fichtner, and I just about die.

That has nothing to do with the fact that we get so much damn eyefucking between Alex and Michael.

Nine was hot as hell. Ten is... puppy-cute.

Just found this and had to jump in to say I agree completely on Nine. Totally gorgeous, about the sexiest, hottest thing ever. Loved his look, his vulnerability, his mercurial moods, his smile, his vocal style. At one time I was watching each of his eps maybe 5 times while I was waiting for the next one, and I was picking up his speech patterns and (in my head at least, I do have some discretion) his accent.

Ten? You can keep him. Does nothing for me at all. I really wouldn't care if he left now, so long as he's replaced by a really good actor who does a better job with depths.

And I'm looking forward to Donna, just as long as she doesn't fall in love with the ugly geek in the shabby suit. I hope she puts him in his place and slaps him about a bit!
