Sorta, kinda unpopular 'Doctor Who' opinions
For the most part. Just reading comments here and there over the last couple of months and finding myself thinking but I DO like that or I DON'T like that, and after writing up this quite, quite unpopular opinion re: Donna post, I was inspired to compile a list and am just now putting it up. Now, I know one is extremely unpopular, and one I
( Read more... )
I like Love and Monsters, although that's almost entirely due to Jackie.
Word RE: Jack. I love the idea of his character (woo mainstream popular bisexual FTW) but I just don't really care. I don't mind the Doctor/Rose/Jack threesome, although it's never an OTP, and I'm okay with Nine/Jack (mostly because of the red-light conversation in Utopia) but I hate hate hate Ten/Jack.
There, I said it.
Also, yes, the Parting of the Ways kiss is tops, and my single favourite moment between the Doctor and Rose.
You are right about the hair. I think in season 4 they were putting way too much product in, and it just made it sort of stiff and boring. Best Tennant hair in my opinion is easily Sound of Drums.
Last night I watched Utopia just for Jacobi. I would've loved to see more of him as the Master - Simm was good, but he was just too much, and the literal crazy doesn't seem like a natural progression for the Master. The characterization choice should at least've been explained so I don't have to fanwank theories.
And, uh... no comment on the blue suit. Ok, I will admit that it falls rather nicely, but that's all. ;)
Oh, and obviously I'm with you on the Moffat thing. *lives in fear*
I just read your Donna post, btw, and I can definitely see how her ending works. I think the execution was still a bit iffy (we should've had more evidence of a change from her mother) but I could easily see that as the intent.
I don't quite think she's my favourite New Who character (Rose still gets that honour) but my love for her is intense and never-ending.
Ok, I think that's all. (Clearly you're not the only one who can ramble like a pro.)

Yay! I don't feel so alone.

I LOVE Jackie's story in this one. She just breaks my heart when she's seducing Elton, throwing the wine on him and then Rose calls and she just kinda falls apart. Oh, Jackie.

Yeah!

Way too much product.

Oh, see for me it's hands-down "School Reunion." I could write odes to his hair in "School Reunion." Seriously. Oodles of odes.

I don't want to just quote this and say "word," but I'm going to. So: Word.

I know. Don't ruin my show, Moffat!!!!!!!

Oh, Lordy the execution bit the big one A LOT in JE. I don't know if it was Tennant, Harper Graeme and RTD being tired after the heavy workload on Tennant's part (especially with the two Doctors), Graeme directing two in a row, and RTD writing his FOURTH! script in a row, but it severely had execution problems from all three, and alas, those three WERE the main components of what would and would not make the whole episode work. I just think that what RTD was trying to do, and what the other actors pulled off is what made the episode still as good as it was.

Rambling is fun. :D
