Guh..I'm sorry, are there such a thing as words for that? I could just stare at that.
It really shouldn't be as...compelling as it is, should it? Let's all just take a moment and stare.
Makes you want to grow fangs, doesn't it?
I admit, I have a thing for throats. For a short, chubby guy, David Krumholtz has a great throat (see icon).
I was just over at the BBC bulletin boards, and I really shouldn't, you know? I really do not get how people say, "Wow, S2 was so much better written than S1."
And this cracks me up: the argument that Rose + 9 is creepy because a 900+ age gap is too much. But Rose + 10 is fine?! He's older! You ageist hypocrites (and very dumb at math, too). There's someone at TWOP who occasionally pops up with the same argument, and even funnier she said "CE is 15 years older than BP - yuck." Well, as it happens DT is 13 years older, so... what? Her actual argument was that it was "grody" and that she knew some people in real life who had that kind of age gap and that was "grody" too. This is a married woman, apparently. Who speaks like a 10-year-old.
But seriously. If you don't find CE attractive? Fine. He's an acquired taste, thought very rewarding. But to make that kind of age argument? just laughable, really.
Yes! Besides, I really don't think the Doctor knows romance, he's a bit too oblivious to that, bless him.
But he's having such fun! I actually think Ten might do it more because he likes playing games more, but Nine is so no-nonsense, I think he'd be more likely to do something totally unexpected and sweet, like having chips at Woman Wept or something. Better than candlelight and roses any day.
Re: CE blowing up at Keith Boak, I've only heard rumors (mostly people who saw them arguing during the shoot), but CE is notorious for pushing writers and directors to make things better. I know that on at least two occasions, the people in question admitted that he was right, and that they did make it better. Given the quality of his output, you've got to give him some credit.
I didn't think she was suicidal, but I could see where people were coming from with that angle, now I don't.
I think there were a lot of very invested fangirls! :-) I was very invested in POTW - could barely breathe; I cried here, but mostly a few quiet tears at the end because Billie was so good at crying.
I'm hoping to do a "Rose" pic post this weekend. I've got a project I have to finish, and that can be my "carrot".

Thank you, 'cause I do too now.

Oh lord. There are worse age differences in movies. Star Wars? Harrison Ford was at least 20 years older than Carrie Fisher. King Arthur? Again, 20 year age difference between love interests. Nobody cries foul with movies. I think what really calls attention is that DT really looks young for his age, and sometimes CE could look his age, I'll admit it, even though when he does he still looks hot IMO.

See, even though I love Doctor/Rose, I still get a bit out of whack when I really think about it. That's why I don't think about it, that's why his age isn't called to attention so often, so that the writers can get away with a romance and not get called on it. 900 years old, 19 years old, I can see why people don't like the romance. Which is why season one worked for me, because you really didn't have to see it as a romance. Maybe that's why I'm so disappointed with season 2, with a younger actor, well, younger looking actor, they think it's better to push the romance. That really bothers me.

I don't think the Doctor would even have the capability to think of candlelight and roses. But I think if any romantic gestures came about, it would be purely incidental.
I cried here, but mostly a few quiet tears at the end because Billie was so good at crying.
When I watched the ending again, I cried hard. It was truly heartbreaking. But as much as seeing the Doctor crying makes me cringe, DT rocked in the beach scene. He was amazing there, I wanted to give them both a hug.
