Indoors-y things - of books and telly and new year type thinky-thoughts

[byslantedlight]

Hello! It's the Monday after Christmas, and it's a bank holiday Monday, and after three days of mostly sitting on my couch and reading books, interspersed with watching telly, I think I should probably try and be a bit more active today... *g* So - a post isn't a bad place to start, I think? Hope you all had good days over the break - and still are

Finally, FINALLY a good Dr Who ep! I loved it to bits ("I think I'm going to need a bigger flow chart!" *g*) all the way through. I always liked River Song and this was just so perfect and brilliant, and I've been wanting someone to squee with ever since it ended. Normally my sister and I text each other all the way through but she had family staying and wasn't able to watch it when it aired. I do have to say though that I didn't like the season finale - who was that person masquerading as the doctor, and getting it horribly wrong? :-( He just seemed so OOC to me in that one.

I have no idea what to suggest to you for 2016. My goals all revolve around consolidating my resources for an os trip in March, and one in 2017 - also the usual ooh must lose some weight - I consider it a victory if I finish the year at the same weight at which I started it.

Yes! Wasn't it ace - heeeee flowchart! *vbg* And a sonic trowel! I'm an archaeologist! So many brilliant bits... I will happily squee with you! *vbg*

I liked most of the season finale, but not the bit where Clara took the Doctor over again, and not the whole long-live-Clara thing. I quite liked Me and I don't want her subsumed by Clara either - gargh! I'm not sure I got OOC Doctor otherwise though - was there something in particular that struck you? *is curious*

I think fitness might be a good one for 2016, cos it would probably also fit in with lots of doing stuff, which is the bit I missed out on this year (though partly that was on purpose - just turns out I'm not so much a not-doing-stuff kind of person... *g*) And writing... Hurrah for your os trips though - that's definitely something to look forward to when consolidating resources! *g*

Oh the sonic trowel.... and "hello sweetie" said by the doctor... .*sigh* so much to enjoy

Oh, gads, you know what I'm doing? Merging the two previous episodes into one! I was thinking of it as the episode with the maze, which I did rather like - but I was also flashing on bits of the actual finale, with Me and Clara and all... *headdesk*

I did think exactly the same thing about the Doctor shooting the timelord, it just made a mockery of every previous Doctor who pointed out that there were other ways than killing people, and that has to include timelords, otherwise they'd all presumably be bobbing about shooting each other at the least thing until they got to their final regeneration... And the whole point of Day of the Doctor, I thought, was that he did stay true to himself and didn't kill people even to end the time war... Yeah, that was one of the things that I deleted, I guess

Here's you doing your research before you've had your coffee, now that's dedication. *g* But thank you. I knew it had come up over the course of the show but couldn't have said when. So I guess the name could have caught on, on Gallifrey.

Speaking of Romana 1 and The Pirate Planet - I watched that again just recently, as part of the Key To Time series. Still rather fond of Tom Baker, but oh the sets and special effects are so dated now.
