My thoughts on the last two episodes of Doctor Who are not very deep, and really the biggest one of them is "how many two-parters about humanity making disastrously bad decisions in the name of business can one show even have", so I will just say that and also that it is pretty cool Rory is starting to come into his own a bit more. Yes, you can in ( Read more... )

The Doctor's Wife: Very nearly perfectly brilliant and beautiful and definitely not the episode I was expecting based on the title but probably the episode I should have been expecting based on the title so I am feeling a little bit ashamed about that. Years ago Neil Gaiman wrote a blog post about The War Games and his childhood experiences with ( Read more... )

So apparently everyone is really down on The Curse of the Black Spot, which, eh, I am willing to forgive plot problems if it does not actively insult the characters and it did not so I am okay with it. Also someone somewhere is writing the SG-1 crossover where Rory and Daniel Jackson have a nice long chat, yes? Because someone should be writing

Day of the Moon: My non-spoilery thought is my always-and-forever thought, which is that Rory is the best and always will be. Also CALLED IT CALLED IT CALLED IT on Canton. In general this was a very well-written episode, and I do not have ~deep thoughts~ on the Doctor's characterization in it, but there is one little thing, one tiny little thing, ( Read more... )

I was going to do a non-spoilery thought and not cut it because that is how I stupidly roll, but no, here are some spoilery thoughts on The Impossible Astronaut!

( In which there are things, yes, and stuff as well )

Today, I watched two things, and they were both the respective season finales of two shows that start with the letter D. And they were both very good! Probably you can guess that one of them is Doctor Who, and possibly you can guess that the other is Durarara!!, and actually if we're talking about things that feature the letter D I did reread a lot ( Read more... )

So I have finally seen The Pandorica Opens and there was a lot of !!! and a fair bit of D: D: D: and I wonder if it says anything about me that I am surprised the D: D: D: is sticking in my head more than the !!! ? I mean, !!! is very exciting and epic and awesome but D: D: D: is sort of, I was not expecting to be that emotionally invested in [ ( Read more... )

Basically a summary of what I have been doing for the last while is "watching 25 episodes of Toradora in two days", ha ha. And other things! But 25 episodes of something in two days probably outranks them in term of time consumption.

Toradora is an anime that we watched in anime club like, two years ago or something, I don't even remember. We didn' ( Read more... )

Vincent and the Doctor: Apparently I am the only person in the world who kind of liked the monster design? And also the only person in the world who cried at the bit everyone else says is too treacle-y to be genuinely affecting. It is just that to me, "I'm afraid" in the right context is incredibly chilling and that was the right context, so! Yeah ( Read more... )

Cold Blood: ha, so we went from a first-parter that was just sort of there to a second-parter with BIG PLOT THINGS and I am unsure how I feel about them? Knew something had to happen eventually, didn't really want it to, but maybe it will be fixed I don't know. So I shall reserve judgment until we see how things turn out. Also, slight bit of skeeve ( Read more... )
