But I Just Keep On Getting Up Again

Seriously... whenever he comes on screen, I pull up a pillow and hide behind it. Between his comments about the show (and female characters!) and his own presence on the Doctor Who Confidential eps that i've been watching -- I just don't like him. At all.

Okay, so I give in... "The Impossible Planet" made me gleeful at the Rose/Ten cuteness, particularly the mortgage talk, the kissing of the helmet, and Ten wanting to rush up when he hears that Rose is in trouble. Plus, his sincere regret at getting her stuck there, coupled with her sheer awesomeness at adapting to the situation and buoying his spirits... how can he NOT love her? Rose Tyler is fantastic. There's no way around it.

Btw, Billie Piper and David Tennant's real life friendship? Also great. It reminds me of Meloni and Mariska... just the joy they get out of being around one another. Sadly, Billie and David don't get the ten years together that CM and MH did... they need to work together in the future!

So with my experiences in the SG-1 and BSG fandom, I thought I had read every sci-fi related fanfic cliche... but the whole time travel thing? Throws another whammy into the works. ( Read more... )

"In Plain Sight" still continues to be awesome, and Mary and Marshall's partnership fills me with glee. Even better? Apparently each West Wing cast member is slowly coming to the show... first Will Bailey (Joshua Malina) and now Toby (Richard Schiff)! Please send along Bradley Whitford, Janel Maloney, and Allison Janney anytime soon, mm'kay?

Is it possible to have hot flashes when you're in your twenties? I have no idea if these count as such, but sometimes I get so freakin' hot and then they go away and I'm all cold. Not cool, body temp.

I just watched the Doctor Who ep "School Reunion" and... GILES! ( Read more... )

Is anyone else watching "The Unusuals"? It started last week and I find that I'm liking it so far. But I'm a big fan of Amber Tamblyn, and I really like the burgeoning partnership she has on the show, as well as the rest of the cast.

ETA: HAPPY BIRTHDAY gabolange !!!! And I also wanted to wish sabaceanbabe a Happy Belated Birthday!!!

I watched "New Earth" and( Read more about Doctor Who... )

It's cold and rainy today... therefore a perfect day to take the dog to the vet, right? Not so much. But he was a trooper, poor shaking baby that he is, and got all his shots and a clean bill of health. I love the vets office, actually, because they're all really nice in this fantastic genuine way, and it's so good to be able to trust your vet, especially when your dog is old as mine (he's a 13 year old black lab). Of course, now he's nestled on his blankets, and refusing to go for a walk, or even get his dinner. Hee. It's possible he's afraid of going back.

As for me, I've been exploring Doctor Who fandom... haven't started Season 2 yet (waiting on Netflix!), but there's SO much fic and stuff, it's overwhelming. Truly a prolific fandom. But I have a couple of questions, if any of my enlightened flist can answer for me...

Is it a fanon thing that Jack ever called Rose "Rosie"? And that he taught her some self-defense moves? Because that seems prevalent in fics, but I didn't notice it in season 1.

Also, there's a lot of anti-Martha bashers which I understand because character-bashing is one of the great tenents of fandom, sadly... but I haven't seen any Martha bashing. In fact, I see whole lots of Rose-bashing, calling her a Mary-Sue (Wtf?) and such, and it's weird. Not that I want to see Martha bashing, but I'm just wondering why there's all this companion bashing? It's kind of irritating because so much of the glee seems to be reserved for the Doctor, and that makes me sad. Because I actually watch for Rose, and her interactions with the Doctor. I find them together much more interesting than the Doctor alone.

And I'm sad that there aren't more repercussions about Rose and the Bad Wolf thing. Because honestly, there SHOULD be.

The Cliff, Shag, or Marry meme that's going around...

1. Comment and I will give you 3 people.
2. Post this meme with your answers.
3. Label which you would marry, shag, or cliff.

(if you want to specify characters rather than actors, that's cool.)

( My responses behind the cut )

First off, I have to admit that I've given Dr. Who a shot because I needed to use up my Netflix Watch Instantly hours and wanted to try it... so I started with the Ninth Doctor and watched the first three eps and I'm in danger of being hooked. Or I am hooked. It was fun, and I like it, and possibly I'll post more about it later, but yeah..

Anyways, on to BSG.

Did anyone else feel confused by that episode? Like it was all over the place... fragments attempting to make a plot, but failing.

Just want to wish surreallis a huge

I hope you have a fantastic day full of OTP goodness (whether it's Sam/Jack, Olivia/Elliot, House/Cameron, or Goran/Eames)... and that your year is even better! I've had a great time bonding with you over SVU and SG-1 the past year, and I'm looking forward to another year of getting to know you better. Happy Birthday, hon!
