Review/Picspam - Series 1, Episode 1: Rose

[fid_gin]

Travel back in time with me, if you will, to March 26th, 2005. Michael Jackson's in trouble for kiddie-fiddling...again, Terri Schiavo is in the news, and that wacky British programme about the alien flying around time and space in his phone booth is about to come back on the air.

Nine/Rose shippers: you'll want to come inside and enjoy this.

Oh this was so fun!

This much pink makes baby Jesus cry, Rose.
Oh, ::wipes eyes:: that made me laugh so hard!
As did this:
Ah! Look out, it's Satan!
Oh indeed!

I watched most of Series 2 before I realized I was so hooked I really ought to have started with Series one but I couldn't stop...I really wonder what I would have thought, when I would have started shipping had I watched it cold like the rest of everybody!

And the timing? I had never placed it before, but New Who premiered the day after my 10th Wedding anniversary--quite clear the recollection now that you've mentioned Ms. Schiavo--I remember getting texts on my mobile about her status even as we gorged ourselves on Fondue :D
*sigh*
Memories!

Yeah, I guess I consider myself pretty fortunate that I, more or less, got into the Doctor beginning with Series 1. It just took me a couple years to get into it. I remember Mr. gin watching it while it was on, and me wandering in and out of the room, disinterested, and him insisting that he really thought I'd enjoy it, if I gave it a chance, and me rolling my eyes and thinking 'What a nerd I married.'

And now look at me. Heh.

Seriously. Rose's bedroom is a Pink Nightmare. And I like pink!

*happy sigh* Man, do I love this episode. And boy, did I love Chris in this role.

I'll be re-watching "Rose" tonight. *g*

[fid_gin]

Me too. Sometimes I forget how awesome he really was, and then I do something like this and am just floored all over again with how fantastic (not to mention jaw-droppingly sexy) Nine was.

Awesome picspam :) Never thought Mickey was gay, but I can kind of see where you're coming from there. He annoyed me too 'til he grew a pair in S2.

CE did a sort of comedy role as Claude on Heroes (I still have hope they'll bring him back), so - seeing as how that's pretty recent - maybe he'll do some/be offered lighter roles. Don't know much about how the GI Joe movie's going down, but maybe he'll have some baddie-type humor in it. And we'll always have this, so that's not so bad at all. Also, really, his ears are darling :D

[fid_gin]

Love the ears. Love them.

Yes, I never stop hoping Claude will come back. All Season 2 I kept bitching about how what this hero or that hero really needed was a good thwacking with Claude's Staff of Training.

Now that I rewatch it, I don't know why I thought Mickey was gay, I was just positive that he was and it didn't occur to me to think otherwise until Rose was like "He's my boyfriend!" I think it's that there's just not really any chemistry between the two actors...at least, not like there is between Billie and Chris. Rowr!

This makes me really miss CE. I agree that he was a huge part of why the relaunch of the show was so successful. It didn't hurt that he and Billie Piper had such wonderful instant chemistry.

[fid_gin]

They really, really did, which is odd considering I think he's about 20 years her senior at least. But yeah, every moment they share together on the screen is just smoking.

Watches, laughs...gets to the running to the TARDIS: cries.

Rose! Oh god Rose! The things that'll happen to you....

[fid_gin]

I know. It's going to be hard, rewatching all these, knowing what I know, I think.
