Every angel is terrifying

Aug 07, 2010 01:02

So apparently, school/classes are starting on August 23, NOT 16. Which has me very confused and alarmed and all sorts of 'wait what' and digging around for the letter that Housing might or might not have sent regarding this change in date. Yeah.

Finally got around to watching The Time Traveler's Wife.

I am disappoint )

movies: the time traveler's wife, tv: doctor who, fanfic, i'm such a dork, synergistic obsession

3. I like all of them in different ways, but in the general sense, Donna probably gets the award. Amy may tie with her, but we'll see after I finish S5. Maybe it's cause they all have red hair.
4. IDK. They're a lot scarier in a dream.
16. Flesh and Stone kind of reminded me of that, since the whole scene on the beach when River tells the Doctor that they're all just fairytales. And the fact she has a book about him kind of underlines this and that whole red riding hood getup on Amy. Or maybe that's my brain going hiss at the time.
22. Exactly. He's like me, or maybe where I might end up somewhere down the line (but not that flagrantly).

I don't need to know you like gingers, kthxbai. :P

Kenny, you don't have enough style to be John Barrowman. The only person that comes to mind that I think may match up with him is Paul Gross (actor for Fraser), who apparently wrote a due South episode that is slashier than Torchwood. How that is possible, I don't know, BUT APPARENTLY HE WROTE IT.

I'm working on getting icons. Blame computer. giallarhorn August 8 2010, 06:46:54 UTC
You know how long it takes me to load a reply?

Really long.

IDK. You might've. Some people have this idea I have a thing for blonds, or something, so IDK ACE.

DON'T CRUST MY DREAMS. And I don't believe you. Slashier than Torchwood? I don't believe you. Then again, he is the magical Canadian but.

I AGREE WITH ALL OF THIS. Except for the S5/11 stuff because I haven't seen that yet. Which is why I'm not reading your fanfic. You must remind me once I've seen S5, and I will go back and read your fanfic. I'm working on my own (not promising it will ever be posted, because I've only worked out an end, not a beginning) and it's true, narrating a story that depends so heavily on actors' expressions is tough. Otherwise ( ... )

THIS IS WHY YOU NEED TO HURRY UP AND GET TO S5. So then I can go watch the last two episodes without too much fear of spoiling you/your sister (more of your sister, because she might actually do me bodily harm).

My fanfic is bad. This means therefore you need to and should post your own fanfic =D It is a good thing we have a good knowledge of all the various expressions the Doctor goes through, though.

1. Bad guys. Pepperpots? Campy. I'm sorry, I don't get it.

I did see that and I was like, how? They're. Campy. As. Hell.

7. Seriously. I always wondered how big the TARDIS actually is inside. It has to be huge.

8. I am jealous.

10. Only in a platonic ship =P I mean, it is alive, but it is a ship and basically his most constant and oldest companion. And he strokes it and all.

16. I know! He so desperately rejects the idea of being the Doctor, so so badly even when people are dying. He doesn't want to be the Doctor, which is heartbreaking on so many levels ( ... )

7) Well, it has a swimming pool somewhere...

10) Ach, I was making a pun!

30) I'm watching Torchwood. I see lots of Jack. He is pretty. :-) Also he's Torchwood's version of the Doctor--the one with the mysterious past whom the rest of the characters rely on altogether too much to save the day, because half the time he's the only one who actually gets what's going on. Plus being bulletproof helps.

PS) Didst thou just 'thou' me, ingrate? Wednesday.

7. And a library, and a wardrobe, and presumably a bathroom/bedroom. And maybe even a kitchen. It's bigger on the inside, but how much bigger?

10. Oh. Puns go over my head. I thought you were being serious, cause I have seen fics for that.

30. He's like a more flexible version of the Doctor! Except I can't see him as much of a leader, since it is Jack. Even if he is a captain and all, I just. I don't really see it.

I didst not 'thou' thee. I 'thy' thee.

Did not mean to italicize that whole thing. Oops.

Time Traveler's Wife has problems. The most pressing one is, how on earth can Clare and Henry afford to take care of a kid when she's an artist and he pops in and out of time? Not exactly the foundation for material wealth right there.

But you know, realism just kills daydreamy romances.

So I read the book but have no desire to see the movie, especially since you didn't like it. And neither did anyone else I know who saw it and read the book.

What I like about Doctor Who are the episode summaries available online.

I do want to start watching it, but THREE SEASONS? Come on, people.

Actually, if you remembered from the book, this is addressed. She later manages to get enough with her artwork, and he plays with the stock market to keep up with their lifestyle.

So, not quite.

I didn't dislike it. It wasn't very substantial, though, and the ending was better.

Five, actually. Three Doctors- Nine, Ten and Eleven.
