doyleI'm off work sick. Thankfully I'm kept entertained by Doctor Who fandom going nuts over the new promo pictures. I've seen Rose fans call Martha a whore, slut and a chav (oh, the irony!) based on what she looks like. Also accusations that she's a Rose clone. Mm, they're so alike I'll have trouble telling them apart!
More Xena is needed, I think. Curse the strange numbering system of the discs (seasons are split into two volumes each); the DVD-monkeys that blockbuster employ to send out the discs don't understand this so send out part 4 of a season instead of part 1. Poor confused monkeys. They'd rather be back writing Shakespeare.

on 2006-08-10 07:45 pm (UTC)Yuppies do not wear tracksuits constantly. Most especially not white or pink. The only place a yup would wear any sort of track gear is in the gym. Yuppie means professional. They live in the commuter belt and drive a Range Rover (SUV).
Enlightenment at last!
on 2006-08-10 08:12 pm (UTC)As for tracksuits, yuppies in the US wore them during all non-working hours during the mid-eighties. I'm sadly stuck in a time warp, and that was the image I kept getting while reading the wiki article. Also, I'm deeply saddened to know that SUVs are a world-wide blight instead of being restricted to the suburbs of big American cities. :(

As for slut and chav, that's... interesting. From what I've heard, she doesn't entirely qualify. Then again, I forget their thoughts don't run similar to mine, ever.

?!

on 2006-08-10 02:27 pm (UTC)Apparently, Rose is the only character allowed to wear dark trousers and shoes.

on 2006-08-10 01:36 pm (UTC)This is the same thing that went on when Eccleston was replaced by Tennant. There are still Nine fans who haven't watched Ten because they can't accept that he was replaced. Hellooooooo, do any of these people know the teensiest bit of history about Doctor Who? Like that's what's been happening for, oh, FORTY frickin' years? Try it before you diss it people.
I do miss the brown suit. At least he still has the Chucks and the coat. I'm wondering if they're going to go for a type of suit over the one in particular. I've been watching a lot of Third Doctor and he wears the same sort of thing (velvet jacket and ruffly shirt) but the colors change from time to time.

no subject
on 2006-08-10 04:16 pm (UTC)Maybe her parents have money and bought her the coat?

on 2006-08-11 12:15 am (UTC)I'm not too crazy about the whole outfit, but it can grown on me. And I really don't see Martha as a whore, slut, chav or Rose clone at all. I barely know the gal!
I do miss the pinstripe suit. It's hot.
