the chemicals weren't mixed properly.

1. I can't sleep again (oh joy). I swear, one day soon I'm going to sleep for more than 3 hours and it's going to be glorious.

2. So, um, I rewatched the finale again, and while I usually skip to bits that I like (so I only watch about 20% of the episode and it's all companion related bits) today I watched the Bad Wolf Bay scene. Yeah, I don't why I ( Read more... )

I agree with you re. Rose's "worst day" comment - that made me want to scream!

3. So after that I needed to rewatch something happy so, City Of Death it was. YAY FOUR (who is rather awesome even if I love Five more) and YAY ROMANA \o/ I love Romana and when The Moff brings her back (shut up, I want him to dammit) Keeley Hawes should totally play her. Just sayin'

But I want Lalla to play Romana!!! *squishes Romana II*

(I watched half of "The Nightmare of Eden" and the whole of "The Horns of Nimon" this weekend, continuing my private Romana II watch-a-thon - my gods, Romana's scary when she's angry!! O_O

4. If Human Nature/Family Of Blood doesn't win this year's Hugo I'm going to probably cry. Because, I'm sorry Mofft, ily and Blink but those episodes were... wow. I don't even know how to talk about them but honestly, wow. And if that didn't tell the writers to Let The Tennant Act More then I don't know what will.

HN/FoB should totally win! David is awesome in that 2-parter...

I totaly forgot about it, what with everything else about that scene that I wanted to scream at. And then, FOR SOME REASON IDEK WHY, I rewatched it and I was like, WTF ROSE?

Lalla's an awesome Romana and I love her a lot... but I want Keeley for Romana 3. I just think she'd be awesome and I kinda love her and it would be just the best thing ever if Romana was brought back.

If it doesn't win I'm throwing a fanbrat tanrum (yeah, yet another one) but it NEEDS to win. The writing was OMGAWESOME and everyone was so damn good in that episode and The Family creeped me out so bad and those scenes where David switched? BLEW ME AWAY. And then of course, Paul Cornell loves Martha Jones and he's very vocal about it so it makes me love him even more. And someone who's not Moffat should win this time (I love The Moff but...) so yeah, it just needs to.

Oh, I noticed it first time around.

It would fantastic if Romana came back, true - and I think I'd trust Moffat to do a better job of bringing her back than Rusty. I don't know Keeley, I'm afraid, on account of not watching much TV...

Oh, she's awesome in basically everything she's been in. I've only ever seen her in Ashes To Ashes, Spooks and Tipping the Velvet. She really would be a fantastic Romana. Sophia Myles woud also have been awesome had she not been Reinette, because I loves her too.

Please to be winning Mr C!!

EVERYTHING will be crossed on this end.

Hmm. I wonder if the library has Tipping...

Sophia Myles woud also have been awesome had she not been Reinette, because I loves her too.

I confess I've only seen her in GitF - on account of the aforementioned lack of TV watching!

EVERYTHING will be crossed on this end.

Ditto!

Sorry to thread-jump, but I wanted to say that I highly recommend Tipping the Velvet if you can find it, Pers.

I love Keeley, between seeing her in Tipping and in The Last September (kissing DT -- OMG!), I really, really, really want to see her in Ashes to Ashes.

persiflage_1 July 15 2008, 08:06:31 UTC

Oh! I'm pretty sure I've got The Last September around here somewhere... *shuffles through stack of DVDs* Yes I have!! Eee!

radiantbaby July 16 2008, 00:14:58 UTC

A lot of my friends didn't like Last September (I showed it during a "movie night"), but I really do (it's one of my favorites with DT).

I'm weird about really liking period-y films though (it's set during The Troubles) and the director had a stage background so she put in lots of good actors in it (like David, Keeley, Michael Gambon, Maggie Smith, Fiona Shaw, etc).

persiflage_1 July 16 2008, 05:27:52 UTC

That's exactly the sort of film I'd enjoy!

P.S. radiantbaby July 16 2008, 00:24:45 UTC

Here is a link to a trailer for it on IMDB (it should work):
http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi3220504857/

David's got a bit of a barmy moustache in the role (much like he did when he was in Bright Young Things), but I still love him in it (I have this weird thing for when he plays docile, blundering, heartsick men -- it just makes me want to snuggle him).

Re: P.S. persiflage_1 July 16 2008, 05:29:25 UTC

I've seen the moustache - made me giggle!

I'm going to try to watch TLS this weekend...

offthebalcony July 15 2008, 14:02:50 UTC

Oh, thread-jump all you like and especially if it's to rec awesome stuff like that.

Keeley Hawes is pretty much made of pure win and if you ever have chance, I'd rec Ashes To Ashes like, a thousand times over (and Life On Mars because John Simm and Phillip Glenister and the rest are so wonderful in that I think that's one of the best tv shows ever made, just sayin')

radiantbaby July 16 2008, 00:17:12 UTC

I'm just now getting through Life on Mars (I'm about 5 episodes into S1) and, to be honest, part of the reason I am finally watching it is to see Ashes to Ashes -- LOL!

I've really been liking LoM though, so I'm glad I finally took the plunge! :)

offthebalcony July 16 2008, 00:26:12 UTC

Life On Mars is pretty perfect (I got fairly obsessed and bought it on DVD, hee) and I was expecting to hate Ashes To Ashes to be honest. I watched it for Keeley and Phil and the rest but really, I was expecting it to just be a weaker version of the mother show. BOY WAS I WRONG. It stands alone so well and it's awesome sometimes I even think I like it more than LoM.

And for the record? Episode 5 of S1 is one of my very favourites. It's been my "falling asleep episode" for about 3 weeks now (random unnecessary fact about me: I can't fall asleep very well - insomniac - but to fall asleep at all I need a DVD playing in the background.)
