A Bit of Spring Cleaning of Sorts

May 09, 2008 14:29

I'm in several icon comms and have a few iconmakers friended so I'm always saving icons to my hard drive. Unfortunately, I have next to no icon space, so these lovely icons sit (unhappily, I would presume) in folders on my hard drive and Photobucket account. Therefore, I thought I'd do some icon "spring cleaning." Quite a few of the icons I'm using ( Read more... )

Two: Due mostly to nentari's joy and sometimes squee over the Two-and-Jamie dynamic. Also, I want to meet Jamie.
That's a good reason (*big smile*) but my suggestion is that you start from the beginning. An Unearthly Child is the most amazing opening episode a TV show could ever get, and 45 years later it still has a great impact; the remaining three episodes of the serial pale in comparison, but it's a great story nevertheless. And besides, Barbara is one of the coolest companions ever.
Then, you have got to check out Two's serials, obviously. The Invasion will have the added bonus of mixing UNIT (being their debut story) and Two/Jamie (I dare you not to squee over the "clever wee chappie" line). And it will help if you can add a voice to Jamie when you read my Fourteenth Doctor fics, right?[/shameless plug]

Anyway, on to your meme:

Ooh!

Oh, definitely! This is why I don't often read fic when I haven't "met" the characters yet--I like to be able to hear their voices in my head.

Excellent choices! Of course you'd pick the first one (hee), but the unexpected CSI/Princess Bride crossover is far to amusing to remove. The Darcy pic is one of my favourite Darcy icons--it's all broody and guh. Sad Ianto is adorable and good for those "I need a hug" posts. And one can never have too many silly Doctor Who icons. ^_^

Writing my previous comment to you gave me an urge to rewatch An Unearthly Child (in spite of the fact that I have tons of Classic Who serials I haven't seen yet waiting for me, while that particular episode has been viewed tons of times) and yet - still pretty amazing. *smiles* It has an air of Twilight Zone to it.

Then it's settled - after An Unearthly Child you'll have to check out Two's serials to meet Jamie. It's a shame the War Games hasn't been released on DVD yet (I have it, but not in pristine quality - and anything featuring audio commentaries by Frazer Hines has to be on my DVD list, even if I already have it commentary-free), but I was told it will happen soon. That is one of the serials every fan should watch, particularly the final episode.

Of course you'd pick the first one (hee)
But of course. :D

And one can never have too many silly Doctor Who icons. ^_^
Particularly when one of said icons seems ready to attack the anti-Shakespeare crowd.

I recommend: "The beauty academy of Kabul" and "Driving Lessons"

Noted!

Incidentally, Driving Lessons is one of the films I've been meaning to see but somehow I forgot to add to my list. Thanks for reminding me!
