I have snacks, I have Sudoku, I have no plans for today except listening to the audio of The Dalek Master Plan. Ahh, Saturdays. (I would be joining in taraljc's Life on Mars-a-thon, as I still haven't watched it, but I'm at my parents' and my dad's PC is creaky and weeps emo computer tears if I try to make it do complicated things like play .avi's)

And a meme, seen everywhere but most recently from twinkledru: Name a character or pairing! Then I will ramble on about it! I just like how emphatic it is.

Oh, feel free to ramble on!

Such a pity they didn't have more onscreen time together, doing standard Doctor-and-companion adventurous stuff.

Absolutely. I'm sad there are so few audios/novels with the two of them (though I suppose there are a few - it'd be far worse if I was a Five/Adric fan)

They work really nicely together, I think (in between murderous intent and being driven insane and trying to run away like a great big coward, obviously). Five really liked having Nyssa around because she knew stuff and although he loves being smug and knowledgeable, there comes a point where it gets a bit frustrating being surrounded by ninnies. And Turlough had that same thing of knowing a bit about technology, and not needing every little thing spelt out to the point of absurdity. There are trust issues obviously, but Five talks to Turlough on a level he never does with any of the others: sort of mutual respect despite the context.

Still haven't heard the audios yet, though will crack imminently I think. I'm trying to spread out the bits that are left I haven't heard/read yet now I've wolfed down all the eps in a big chunk: slightly pathetic, but I hate the thought that one day soon there will be No More New (to me) Things. (Daft really, as a)this is tv from 1984 and I should be whooping that there ARE new things and b)fic, doh.)

I have no sympathy for the Five/Adric fans as they are on crack. Ahem. :D

Five/Nyssa's my het Five-OTP, and one which there is zero fic for. Woe. Shall have to write some.

*clings* I know! I've seen all Five's stuff and am trying to pace myself a bit on the books and audios because there'll be none left, and with no new PDAs in the foreseeable future... woes.

Hee. I love some crack pairings myself, but I'll admit I really don't get Five/Adric. I think my main problem is Adric's apparent age: I know Mark Strickson and Matthew Waterhouse are the same age but Adric *looks* (and acts) about 13, while Turlough looks anything from 17 to 30-something depending on the shot.

Holy crap, had no idea they were the same age. That's so odd. I know they're very different characters, and Adric is very much the 'annoying little brother' as opposed to Turlough being the World's Oldest Schoolboy, but...yeah, odd. But I think Adric is my real problem with Five/Adric. You're not good enough for him, pyjama boy!

I have this little dream world where the success of the new series means a revival of the PDAs and then they phone me up and ask me to write one and let me make it all Five/Turloughy through the means of clever subtext.

It is weird there is no Five/Nyssa. I buy that a hell of a lot more than Five/Tegan, who hog all the attention.
