Since I'm becoming an expert at procrastinating, and I've been feeling bits of nostalgia over the RTD era of Doctor Who, here's a meme taken from tvnerdgirl - with just a few transformations (I preferred quoting bits of episodes instead of explaining why I loved them, and I decided not to mention my least favourite eps, as the purpose of this is to remind ( Read more... )

This one is actually very hard to do, because there's a lot of stuff I'd change (but then, isn't that what fanfic is for?) so keeping it down to five is complicated. So I'll stick to the main things that bothered me (and I'm going to leave out the episodes I deliberately ignore as a rule and stick to what seems major to me)

I figured I'd make four categories for this one, as there are three relationships I wanted to explore, and one of them was too big to do in just five points. No that's not cheating! Absolutely not! I'm gonna go easier on the pictures, though, because these posts are taking ages to compile... (what? I get easily distracted by the eps, what can I say ( Read more... )

After rewatching Journey’s end for the fifth or sixth time (I lost count, and then again there are a couple of scenes I’ve watched more than thirty times now, like the last fifteen minutes of the episode… no comment) I decided it was about time I wrote a review, or at least a vaguely coherent reaction post. Yep, this is Kae, getting to it a month ( Read more... )

What to say about The Stolen Earth, other that it turned out to be yet another Doomsday for me? I cried. I cried the way I had cried watching the final scenes of Doomsday. I smiled and screamed and cried and felt pretty much every emotion one can feel while watching an episode, and I cursed and worshipped RTD all at the same time. And it took me a ( Read more... )

This week’s theme, folks, is going to be: How can an episode with a totally daft-sounding plot can be turned into something so brilliant?

I mean let’s face it, if I tell you, “Humans and fish people creating armies out of DNA to fight a war in tunnels”, how many of you will tune in to see the episode? Beside ogling David Tennant, that is, which is ( Read more... )
