doyleTwo things, First Doctor related:
1. Am watching The Romans and Ian and Barbara could not possibly be more in love. Also I applaud the fact that the first thing they do on being rid of the Doctor and Vicki for an evening is get drunk and lounge around on sofas looking as if they've either just shagged or are just about to. Or both.
2. Hee, found a fic where young!Doctor gets sorted. Although I object to Prydonian (Prydon?) being Gryffindor; considering we're told that it's produced more brilliant politicians than all the other Houses combined, and that every evil Time Lord we've ever seen has been Prydonian, it's so Slytherin. But eee, sorting fic, and Drax! Drax as a Time Lord Ron! There should be crack!fic.

m_butterfly, I owe you comments. Though they will be nowhere near as well-thought-out and interesting as yours.)

on 2005-10-25 12:26 am (UTC)No problem; technically I've owed you something for months. I'm just relieved I didn't kill you--I was looking at the post today and going, "32 comments and 16 of them are yours. Good god, she'll drown."
It's that meta famine I mentioned--and the fact I can still join in discussions easily but am having a horrible time starting ones of my own. If I wrote up everything I've got, it would probably take a dozen posts and an index to navigate.
Well, thanks to that aforementioned meta famine, anything that really tries is at this point gratefully accepted; the show is often pretty subtle and the fans have a tendency to not only overlook those subtleties, but to also try to insist on some... questionable things, which is probably why I got into meta in the first place: I had to start thinking about and then talking about these things because I couldn't find anyone else who was. (I'm not sure what to make of a fandom that tries to seriously insist that saying an action in an episode conveys familiarity with cocaine usage doesn't have any implications towards the character's debatable drug problem.)
