Just to gather up in one place the various scattered bits and pieces I have done:

( this is the collection... )

The first episode of the new series unexpectedly came my way over the weekend, so I watched it, mostly to see what I thought of Peter Capaldi. (I abandoned Doctor Who at "The Girl Who Waited", in Season Six. Pah!) 
I thought he was what you'd expect -- a solid, experienced actor, able to work the script to good effect.  The script itself I didn't ( Read more... )

Today I really want to make a serious push to get a good first draft of the story I'm writing for fandomaid.  So far it's proving to be a fascinating business, and taking me right out of my comfort zone, since I gave up Doctor Who at the end of Season Six, and the request calls for Clara - intense research has been happening.  :D

And then as soon as ( Read more... )

Well, I think my Doctor Who catch-up marathon is nearly at an end.  Last night I watched Season 6, Episode 10, The Girl Who Waited, and was totally, totally outraged and Fed Up ( Read more... )

So... I finally got around to obtaining the four 2009 Dr Who specials which weren't in my boxed set of Seasons 1-6, and so I have caught up on what happened to the Tenth Doctor before he turned into the Eleventh Doctor... and I hated the end.
That epilogue round of pay-offs to selected old companions I thought stank! The idea that you set someone ( Read more... )

Tonight's episode was Vincent and the Doctor, and since I was so extremely cross in yesterday's entry, I've hurried online to post and say that I loved this one. It seemed like the episode when the visuals people (cameras, sets, lighting) were given their heads, and it was luscious to look at, even from the very opening shot of the field of wheat, ( Read more... )

Well, posted another chapter, more or less, of 'The Ivory Merchants'. I say 'more or less', because it's about half of what I wanted to put into Chapter Five; I'm getting impatient to have those who are going to go, go, and be on their way to meet the Elephants.   But there's a lot of talking and setting up to be done first, about half of which I ( Read more... )

Oh, come on, scriptwriters!  Three evildoers die in beatific Great Spiritual Realisation in four episodes?? Can't you think of anything else to do with them ( Read more... )

So... the Ninth Doctor is gone, and I'm very sorry about that,because I liked him very much, and I liked that run of episodes generally (though I thought the last one was OTT)  -- I thought the Empty Child was chilling and thrilling, and the best of the season. This new Doctor, the Tenth Doctor, I don't like much at all, but I guess I'm stuck with ( Read more... )
