Very Quick Things
  • Cold on the way out, back spasm threatening. I will threaten it back, and frighten it way the hell out away from my muscles.
  • BB's thyroid biopsy came back negative for cancer. Since the tests indicate some thyroid problems, there may still be a connection to his ongoing fever, etc. We will find out when we talk to his doctor later ( Read more... )

Hoping things went well when you got to work - and hoping you and BB feel better soon. Sending extra hope and healing for the thyroid mystery.

Hubby missed most of this season, but got spoiled for the last episode. A friend showed it to him and he's pretty displeased all around. *Sigh* I rather love how Missy 'mirrors' Eleven in many ways. But hubby said he'll skip 12. Arrrghhh.

*HUGS*

Ooooo. Interesting thought - go on!!!

I'm sorry that Hubby doesn't like this season. BB is somewhat disenchanted. I, a complete fool for the show, am still determinedly un-disenchanted.

Thanks for the hope and healing thoughts, too, my dear!

Outfit, speech, mannerisms, the wait-for-it cleverness. She seems to have deliberately patterned herself after Eleven. I'm supposing there is a good reason for that.

I will love Who no matter what. Some seasons may not be my favorite or the best, but I will love it. I have my favs though, no doubt. Thus my unparalleled adoration of my two Es and their foes. Need to get an icon made of Eight and Eleven, really...gahh, and I likely need to be quiet because I can see their similarities and I'm quite sure no one else can, lol!!

Always, dearest...always...

*HUGS*

*Hmmmss thoughtfully*

I shall think on this. To me, she was radiating an awful lot of the insanity to which her former incarnation fell prey, so I didn't see the parallels. I shall watch with an eagle eye and an open mind now! The bit about the outfit, yes, I can see that. The wait-for-it cleverness could mirror both Eleven and Saxon!Master.

Incidentally, I'm rolling my eyes at some of the people who are ranting that Moffat was OMG homophobic! because "we've only seen the Master exhibit a sexual interest in the Doctor after he became female, it's obviously because Moffat Hates Teh Gay!!1!!" Nope. Not the case. It's been obvious since Delgado, for heaven sake, and with all the head- and body-holding between Tennant and Saxon - that RTD didn't bother to make anything but almost-on-the-surface subtext, by the by, bless his heart - it was inescapable. Moffat is simply exploring something else and specifically saying ( ... )

I hope that you manage to chase that spasm to somewhere far away. Preferably another planet.

the not-spoiling is appreciated. Because of how I access the episodes, I don't usually get to view them until at least 24 hours after they've aired.

I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of the episode once you see it!

Right now, the back spasm is in orbit; not fully scared out of the solar system yet, but I'm glowering at it enough to keep it from settling in. She said hopefully.

I actually saw this one late last night. I'm not certain if I liked it or not, but I was certainly entertained by it, which is the main thing. The Malcom Tucker reference amused me probably more than it should have done.

Augh; I missed it. I really need to see that show, don't it?

RE: DW and the big thing: you called it back on August 24, so congratulations! : )

I just went back and checked, and you're right. Mind you, I think half of fandom made the same call. Still, it's nice to be right, once in a while! Heh.
