(no subject)
So this is a pointless post... I'm just rather bored... going to a movie marathon tonight.... then celebrating nye with my besties.... but otherwise... yeah... I suppose you could call this a proper journal entry... Wait! Just had an idea... I'll share my thoughts on The Runaway Bride and Torchwood.... and I'll also post a teaser about one of my upcoming fics...
First off... the Runaway Bride... upon a second rewatching... I've decided that as much as I liked the episode... maybe the Rose mentions were a little too much. The flash back especially, although I AM looking forward to what is hopefully an emo doctor this season... (but only because David Tennant is just hot... hehe). This may be strange... but I actually really liked Donna, I thought she was a good transition from Rose, just because she was so different. It was a very fast paced episode in my opinon, and I loved the car chase on the motorway. Brilliant that was. And I admit, I squeed in fangirl delight when the Doctor finally mentioned his home planet. Yes, Gallifrey, it's the first mention in this series and hopefully not the last. To be honest I was getting rather annoyed about all the side stepping of it's name... Another good point in my book was that because it was so fast paced, the Doctor didn't have time to dwell over Rose... Which I'm quite glad for and we still got him acting maniclly. (if that's how it's spelt...) However, when the Doctor was killing the Racnoss' babies, I was quite frightened. Here's a dark dangerous man, who has truly lost everything he ever cared for. And if it wasn't for Donna, I don't think he would've relented. I think next season we'll be seeing a much more ruthless Doctor. If you think back to School Reunion, He specifically says 'I'm so old now, I used to have so much mercy.' He could quite possibly have even less now because he's got nothing to lose.
Onto Torchwood, and I must say that this is an awfully over sexed show. Funny as some of the quips are, and as cool as the alien fighting, tech and well written the scripts are, it seems that there's an overload on sex. It's like Russell T Davies and Chris Chibnall are thinking, 'Oh, we can't cram any of this into Doctor Who because it's a family show... let's have it all in Torchwood.'
Has anyone else noticed that every single member of Torchwood has had a same sex kiss? And they've all kissed each other basically.
Ep 1, Owen and the couple, Gwen and Rhys
Ep 2, Gwen and Rhys, Gwen and whatsername... Gwen and Jack
Ep 4, Jack and Ianto (although that served a plot purpose...) Gwen and Owen, Ianto and Lisa
Ep 5, Not really alot in this episode unless you count Jack kissing Estelle on the head...
Ep 6, We learn that Tosh and Owen kissed the previous Christmas... (probably while trying to decide whether or not to take on the Sycorax...)
Ep 7, Tosh and Mary
Ep 8, (dunno if this counts...) Suzie quickly kisses Gwen goodbye, and we learn that she had an affair with Owen.
Ep 9, Eugene and Gwen
Ep 10, Diane and Owen, and what do people think about Jack and John? Gwen and Emma anyone? lol
Ep 11, This seemed to be the most unsexed of the episodes, mainly because everyone's screwed up their relationships with each other...
Ep 12?
Ep 13? Who knows, maybe some big 4 way kiss if they survive everything... which we assume they will because they're season 2 yet to come...
Now, my fics...
I AM still writing Domesticity, I'm just taking a little bit longer because I'm working on two other fics. The first and farthest along is called Homesick at Spacecamp and it's my attempt at a Harry Potter/Doctor Who post Doomsday crossover. I haven't started posting yet, I want to complete all the chapters first.
The second is Choices and is another Post Doomsday, Post Runaway Bride Pre Smith and Jones fic. I'm not revealing any of this, only that I'm hoping my Rose is more mature than the one we saw in S1 and S2.
And of course Domesticity which is shaping up to be a longer fic than I first thought and as much as I want to work of HSAC, I'm going to complete Domesticity to the best of my ability.
Anyways, I think I've rambled enough for now... might see you on some of the comms... if anyone DOES bother to read this... :P
