I live.
But it's complicated.
Am currently watching the last of the Horatio Hornblower films, hence any massive spelling mistakes in this . . . Twitter-like update & HEART POINTS.
♥ LOLZ OMFG NOBODY TOLD ME GENE HUNT WAS SAILING WITH APOLLO, MR FANTASTIC, AUDIO!ALTERNATE!THIRD DOCTOR & THE EIGHTH DOCTOR. OMG THIS IS WONDERFUL. (even if I damn well hated Hobbs in the books.)
♥ BUSH/HORNBLOWER/KENNEDY. SHUT THE FRAK UP, IT'S THERE, I CAN SEE IT, & I LOVE IT. IT PLEASES ME & IT BETTER BE FLOATING AROUND SOMEWHERE.
♥ I see the HMS Pineapples & Flying Fish is well-intact, even IF it's been overshadowed ever so slightly. WHATEVER, I SEE IT. YAY!
♥ THIRD POINT WHAT FUCKERY IS THIS, but . . .
O.M.F.G PAUL MCGANN CHRIST ALMIGHTY THIS WAS WORTH THE WAIT.
UM. I THINK MY FEELINGS ON THIS POINT ARE OBVIOUS.
(& it deserved capslockery because . . . well, because it's Paul McGann. & he's quite fabulous in this, you know. Really fabulous, not just pretty fabulous. Need icons dammit.)
♥ I forgot David Warner was Sawyer in the films. Remember how I mentioned Audio!Alternate!Third!Doctor earlier? Well, that would be David Warner, who gave us a SMASHINGLY awesome alternate Third Doctor in the Unbound audio Sympathy For the Devil, which was a) a gift of sorts to me by
voorishsign & b), got me hooked on the Big Finish audios in the first place! (& it also has Mark Gatiss as the Master, plus David Tennant, so . . . FUCKING AWESOME) I've actually been meaning to listen to that audio again, since I finished the UNIT series this weekend.
OMG, HE REALLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN ELEVEN. OR CONSIDERED, DAMMIT. That would have been amazing. (& um . . . he does remind me greatly of Jon Pertwee. I won't lie. But he still would have been a nice Eleven, I think.)
& Sir Edward Pellew is made of pure win, book or movie-verse. He's . . . o, about second or third on the list of my favourite characters in the whole series. Actually, let's make that third if we're talking bookverse, third or fourth if we're talking movieverse.
WHATEVER, SIR EDWARD PELLEW >>>>>>> EVERYONE ELSE THAT ISN'T HORNBLOWER, BUSH & LADY BARBARA. THERE. (I almost forgot her. I love Lady Barbara, PLEASE, PLEASE, I hope she comes back after Beat to Quarters! CHICK IS AWESOME. I WANT HER TO MEET CHARLEY POLLARD & THE DOCTOR. & a perfect sort for someone like Horatio Hornblower. I continue to hate Maria.)
This was going to be two, but ah, hell to that.
So in conclusion: I AM A HAPPY FANNISH THING. I NEED MOAR PAUL MCGANN, DAMMIT. & I can get back to reading the books after this! I left off at Beat to Quarters & I have five more to go. I BE EXCITED.
LOLZ OMG THE THREE OF THEM ARE WILLING TO DIE TOGETHER THIS IS SO AN OTFUCKING3 PEOPLE.
& WHAT THEY DRAGGED BUSH INTO THE WATER WITH THEM & PROCEED TO HAVE A BIT OF A WRESTLE IN WATER CAN THIS BE ANY SLASHIER . . . wait, no one told me I'd be getting the visage of one very drenched Paul McGann in my line of sight . . . what was I talking about . . . OKAY, he's giving me a fit of wibble-lip now, WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN.
Um, okay. I'm done, promise.
(Picspams to come. AS IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT WOULD HAPPEN.)
