doyleIs it March yet? I needs the new series of Doctor Who. I needs it.
- Oh God, Harriet. I had read The Independent's article which spoiled the ending but it hadn't registered and in the last five minutes I was thinking 'but they got it wrong, she didn't launch the missile' and then she gave Torchwood the go-ahead and... *weeps* And the Doctor ruining her career (? Does he? Because history says she served three terms, according to Aliens of London...), coming so close after her 'my Doctor', made me bawl.
- I did wonder if they went to all the trouble of making those big UNIT HQ sets just for one episode. Hmm.
- Ten! TenTenTenTenTen! Who knows the lyrics to Circle of Life and has glasses (I had a moment of Five-squee; his wardrobe does seem to be a darker Five) and who MET ARTHUR DENT. I knew I'd love Ten - I've loved every one of them so far, and I will glare hard in the general direction of those who hate on Six or Seven - but I'm delighted to love him this much.
- Aw, Mickey. I already liked Mickey, but this was the first time I really liked Jackie, and I adored the four-way hug at the end. And I could really go for some Ten/Mickey. Or Ten/Jackie. Or Mickey/Jackie. Or Harriet/anyone.
- Speaking of Harriet/anyone, her hug with Rose and calling her a precious thing: RTD, this femslasher sincerely thanks you.
- I got accidentally spoiled yesterday for the Luke Skywalker moment, but it still made me gasp. Is that new canon, the 15 hour regeneration gap? Neatly explains how Romana was able to change her bodies. Possibly.
- Aww, Ten turning up for Christmas dinner and wearing a paper hat. Not something I can imagine Nine doing.
- I loved, loved, loved the TARDIS not translating the language because she just isn't working properly while the Doctor's so ill, and I had my fingers crossed the whole episode for the language to suddenly turn into English and it did and I squeed. (And during our hour-long dissection over the phone after the episode,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
connorbeast said 'but that means as soon as the TARDIS left Troy in The Myth Makers... god, poor Vicki.' Which is what I've had kicking around in my head about that episode for ages. Vindication!)
- Sarah-Jane's not one of my favourite old-school companions since her era's still one I haven't seen a lot of, but it was amazing seeing her in the trailer (may I say, she's still quite a babe). And K9! And ASH! School Reunion will just be an acronym fest. I wonder which episode has Rose jumping the Doctor, as well...
Anyway, if any of you need me, I'll be in my shed building a time machine to take me to March. (Actually I'll be in my bedroom hoarding old school videos, Big Finish audios and the PDAs/EDAs and chanting 'it's okay, I can get my canon fix from these!' Who fandom, what have you done to me?)

on 2005-12-25 10:08 pm (UTC)Ten should take Mickey aside next time they come home and Rose is spending time with her mum, and go have tea with him in a cafe. Perhaps by the sea somehow. And tell him about alien planets, and show him pictures, and tell him to ignore Rose (slightly) and her blonde, blonde hair. And then walk him back to his apartment, and have casual/awkward chats with him. And sex. And take him off in secret to see alien planets where lives are not in danger. And hold his hand. Maybe.

on 2005-12-25 10:14 pm (UTC)...so are you going to write that one or am I? *g*

on 2005-12-26 11:48 pm (UTC)I think that might as close as I'm going to get to 'writing it' in a while. Even though some of the scenes and the cafe and a variety of looks on Mickey's face are perfectly realised in my brain. Things go wonky when you try to actually put them into WORDS though. And I have far, far too much work to do. Also a variety of tiny, intense fandoms that seem to have come to life over the holidays. I wish I didn't sleep. Then my life would be better. :(

(In other words, I love that idea)

on 2005-12-26 11:53 pm (UTC)Thank you :) It's nice to know I'm not completely crazy/on my own in this subset of fandom. I'm imagining it, but writing it might be a bit beyond me for a while. I have work. Too much work. And a variety of plotbunnies nibbling at my mental ankles. I should have a farm for them. But it would probably end up being a battery-style place, since there are just TOO MANY, and no good would come of it.
That was slightly surreal. In conclusion: Ten/Mickey = yes, and I might write it, foolishly, when I should be working, but I make no promises.

on 2005-12-27 02:14 am (UTC)Mickey/Ten makes sense, though.
Work's the worst. Hope it eases up a bit.
I think I'm getting vampire crack squirrels lately. Like plotbunnies, but more vicious and slightly insane. *laughs* Talk of plotbunnies often gets surreal.
I should write some myself, when I've seen what Ten's like. And thanks for the lovely scenario, anyway. Didn't mean to sound as if I were demanding it.
