I've now seen all the Fifth Doctor episodes bar Kinda, Snakedance and Arc of Infinity. The first two of those I have on VCD and will be watching tonight or tomorrow. The main thing is, I've now seen all the Turlough episodes. It wasn't till this morning, when I was thinking about why I love Turlough so much (he's vying with Ace for the Favourite Companion badge) that my brain, a la Homer Simpson's, chimed in with "sullen 18-year-old trained as a soldier, thrown into a world where he doesn't belong literally because of the sins of his father and then manipulated by forces beyond his control into betraying the only people who might give a damn about him? Turlough=Connor, dumbass." And Five/Turlough=Wesley/Connor and it all makes sense. In my head.

It's worrisome to suddenly find oneself attracted to a twitchy, moody-looking ginger guy in a school uniform. There are far too many of them around here. Meanwhile, marymac was just complaining about the lack of good-looking men on Doctor Who, because the episodes of Blake's 7 she saw when lasultrix was here spoiled her for all other old sci-fi. I pointed out that the Master is rather hot if you don't mind the psychosis and propensity for shrinking things, but she says the chuckling would put her off. Fie.

( More random Fifth Doctor stuff, including why I like Adric despite myself and why there needs to be post-Warriors of the Deep OT3 fic )

From wisdomeagle: Make a list of all the characters in your icons. (Although you may have more than one icon of a single character, they only go on the list once.) Alphabetize it. Take the first two people on the list; that's your first pairing. Second two people; second pairing. Etc.

I'm alphabetising by first names (except for people like Gunn and Turlough, who go by their last name... ah, I'm alphabetising whichever way seems easiest.)

( Some of these are utterly logical. Others, less so. )

Oh, and I wanted to say a huge thanks to the people who gave me comments on luna_k's love meme. They made me all glowy and I was surprised and delighted with all of them. (To the couple of people who mentioned lurking, I'm the shyest and least scary person in the world, honestly, and if you want to comment or poke me on AIM or whatever any time, that'd be great.)
