I'm going to second selenak's squee over the Doctor Who Xmas special. What better way to squeal over the holidays than to indulge in the Doctor?

There is a great Bond/M story by astolat which I linked a couple of weeks ago and you must read it, if you haven't already.

Also, I did see a Villiers/Bond story somewhere, which is fair, since clearly Villiers is the new Moneypenny.*g*

And in conclusion: GALLIFREY!

I read the Bond/M one, yes, it was amazing. Why are there not more fics like that around?? Selena, I command you to write some immediately!! *dangles cake*

Also, I did see a Villiers/Bond story somewhere, which is fair, since clearly Villiers is the new Moneypenny.*g*

I am doing a big fat *palmface* as I only clocked on to that after I posted my review. *rolls eyes* But, yes. Where is this Villiers fic? *pets the lovely Tobias*

And in conclusion: GALLIFREY!

Forgive my lack of Who-knowledge, I am but a mere newbie, but is it significant that he said it on-screen? I thought that it was canon...

Does that cake include more Angel/1602 fic, hmmmmm?

Occupational Hazard, at your service.

Oh, it is, but the name hasn't been spoken on screen in the new series. Since Rusty killed off all the other timelords off screen (which on the one hand was an understandable move to solve the 40 years of continuity problem by making it easier for newbies to start the show without having to know who these chaps are and what the Doctor's relationships to individual members was, as well as giving the Doctor a trauma he did not have in the old show, but on the other was like, say, restarting Buffy and telling fans in the first new episode that all the Scoobies died off screen), such nods to Old School background have been rare and thus get appreciated all the more. Personally, I think he's doing his homages in just the right way - for example, the Doctor taking the pseudonym "Jamie ( ... )

You know, it's funny you should ask, 'cause that is one of the things I'm working on over this break. I want to have the first draft of part 2 done by the first week of january, so. But I don't want to promise anything 'cause I'll jinx it.

Thank you!

Wait - off screen? That part I did NOT know! I can only imagine the outcry... I thought that things were changed with - Paul McGann? Do I have that right?

Gallifrey is a major thing, so I was very happy indeed to hear it spoken out loud.

Ah, it all makes sense now!

Not least because, like many an old fan, I hold out hope at least one other timelord may have survived (I mean, if the Daleks pop up now and again?), and the Doctor mentioning Gallifrey on screen could be a hint of that...

You know that's going to mess with my head, now...
