Trust me, the cut text will make sense later. Red-headed spoilers by the dozen. Having some mysterious-thing-we-can’t-see running around in a field of wheat makes me think that Rod Serling’s gonna...hello? (Don’t show her this post/journal, though. It’ll just make her sad and go, ‘Oh, ragdoll, you were such a nice and quiet girl when you were in my classes! Why are you cussing so much now? D= ’)
Busy weekend, but I saw "Vincent and the Doctor" this morning. I liked it. I wouldn't say it was one of my favorites -- so far, those have been "Eleventh Hour," "Time of Angels / Flesh and Stone"...this time around . . . at least, not that I noticed. In other news, the second half of "Doctor Who and the Silurians" arrived today! Looking forward to some more Brig and Liz and Third Doctor
... Brotherhood #19, ‘Death of the Undying’). I really shouldn’t find him as attractive as I do during the second part of his fight with Lust. If you’ve seen it, you know why. Bonus spoiler-free review of Doctor Who: Dreamland, because I’ve finally gotten around to watching it after letting it sit on my hard drive for six months: The story: B. Nothing particularly special, but fun nonetheless...
...I did manage to keep that episode out of the muddle in my brain. At least, I don't recall expecting anyone to develop a sudden propensity for eye patches. So I perhaps can't give a completely fair review of these episodes, but in general I do have to say that they both struck me as middling at best. The first half was okay but not great, and I found myself not really caring that much about watching...
Think I’m almost back on the schedule I attempt to keep myself on for these (‘schedule’ here meaning ‘posted before the day the next one is airing’). I mean, I at least rewatched this and took notes...Who on BBC and V on ABC, but for DW to supposedly always be so ‘low-budget’ and still come out with feature-film-quality effects, while V makes N64/PS1 graphics look cutting-edge…I don’t even know.
This one I do slightly regret getting out late, but I’m still all thrown off from last time. *shrug* Plus, the final chapter of Fullmetal Alchemist is out, so that takes priority over everything else...I think you can get out of that dress. Abigail!Master: Is that an invitation? Original!Master: Now that would be different. And brilliant! But later! Abigail!Master: I’m a psychological minefield.
Just some quick thoughts about "Amy's Choice" that I finally feel ready to get down: -- If I've heard correctly, that was the first time that writer Simon Nye ever wrote for Doctor Who. That's amazing...ultimatum -- come home with me right now or else -- which he would then recant by the end? But then I doubt that Rory would follow through on that, or that Amy would ever believe such an ultimatum
Really don’t care that this is so late, since BBC America’s decided not to show episode seven until the 5th (the later this is, the less time it feels like you have to wait for the next one, y/y?). Showed...of Rose and Mickey, although the ways Amy shows her affections with both the Doctor and Rory are rather backwards at times given which one she says she loves and which she supposedly does not.
Read Ethan Reiff & Cyrus Voris's first draft of Nottingham , the revisionist version of the famous Robin Hood story, in which the Sheriff of Nottingham is the hero, and Robin of Locksley a bandit and...to uphold the law even when he disagrees with it, and tries subvert it secretly. In the end, they manage to get over their enmities and work together, but only one will be remembered as a hero
Hmmm. Well, it wasn't bad, but it's definitely not one of my favorites. It was just kind of there. I don't know, I might warm more to it after I've re-watched it, or seen more of S5. I didn't quite...had a "Casanova" joke, and Victory of the Daleks had a "Paisley boy" joke . . . why do I suspect these episodes were written back when they still thought David might be continuing on as the Doctor
