A long series of incredibly spoilerish yays

It was brilliant, wasn't it? The divine Mr Ecclestone might come back. There was a reference to the Dr being the 'three-fold man' which made my fannish heart beat faster and dreams of Tennant, Ecclestone and Davidson sharing the screen fill my mind. My ideal three would be Tennant, Ecclestone and Troughton but I can see a huge problem with that one, alas.

If you are going to watch some classic Who and haven't already seen them, then I rec 'Pirate Planet' and 'Shada'. They're both Tom Baker era stories (boo, do not like) BUT are worth it for Douglas Adams' loopy scripts.

We have watched one of the Douglas Adams scripts! We watched the City of Death serial, with Romana and Four in Paris. We've also watched some Two and some Three. Three is a hoot in those velvet capes, but I love Two's slyness.

"The Pirate Planet" is pure and total crack. It's also part of the Key to Time series, most of which is well worth seeing--just skip "The Power of Kroll", it's like third-season ST:TOS.

Noted and logged. It'll be easy to lure Mr P into watching this with me, because he likes classic Who and, hey, who can resist DNA?

[truwest]

Ya know, I hoped you taped this, because otherwise I am Who-less. Would love to see this (both parts).

[antennapedia]

I have it on disk as an AVI file. The conclusion is next week, and I'll make sure I have that for you too. The whole season, in fact, if you need it.

[truwest]

W00T! I'm there, w/ bottles in hand. Later in July tho (after Vegas).

[antennapedia]

Eeeeeexcellent. We can play all this stuff on the flat screen, and get this: my living room is 50% more de-cluttered than it was.

I'm still speechless - will have to rewatch to process, but I think I'm a bit in love with Harriet Jones, Former Prime Minister right about now, and I felt really bad for poor Rose being out-of-the-loop-girl for most of the ep, but I adore Whovian-Capt. Jack. Want next ep now!

[antennapedia]

Why is Cap't Jack so much more fun on Who? Torchwood is just so grim and doom and gloom. I love it when he flirts all the way to disaster and beyond. (Disclaimer: I have not in fact recovered from the whale episode, and haven't watched a single thing since that one out of sheer disgust.)

Harriet Jones: I swear, I've been mad at Ten since his first appearance because of what he did to her.

[spikendru]

Oh, the "alien meat" ep! It made me cry. Absolutely hated that the poor creature just lay there and got hacked into and chopped up - and then, exterminated! Come to think of it, S2 was rather grim and depressing.

Back to The Stolen Earth: Captain Jack is much more fun on DW. Loved the world ending and Captain Jack still trying to flirt with everyone, and all those who know him frustrating his efforts. "Not now, Captain!" "Don't, just . . . don't." Made me giggle. Much love for Harriet Jones, FPM. She showed such grace and dignity.

*sigh*

Can it be next week yet?

*points at icon*

That is pretty much my reaction for this episode. By the end, I was literally on the edge of my seat. I mean, wow!

[antennapedia]

Even the ever-cynical Mr P had a fun ride with this one. Not that this kept him from snarking.

[antennapedia]

In re: your icon: "Dignity. Always dignity." Heh!

[antennapedia]

That was exactly what I was thinking. "Fit as a fiddle and ready for love!"
