It occurred to me part-way through this that while I had excluded Doctor Who (so that it didn't take up all but one of the 30 days) - and DW for me always includes the main lines of audios and novels, as they were each intended as genuine continuations when they started - that there were two DW spin-offs, that would never get a look-in if I had the ( Read more... )

Rani rocks on oh so many levels. <3
...I have to admit I love her more than Maria (gasp). I know, I know...

I love Rani more than Maria too. I thought it was interesting that I had exactly the same reaction to Rani that I did to Martha - I like the second 'companion' far more than the first. (I'd love to see Martha and Rani meet - even if only in fanfic!)

The fact that a bunch of people slagged Rani off before even seeing her in action, just as they did Martha, probably just intensified my love for her!

Yeah, I really liked Maria - wondered how it would go without her, and then instantly liked Rani even more. :-)

Rani is six kinds of awesomesauce!!

(Any chance of a slightly diff version of the first icon in which we can see a bit more of the TARDIS? Or can I snag the pic to icon for myself please?)

Indeed! :-D

I rescued the base from my recycle bin for you:

TY kindly!!

Rani! Rani! Rani!

When she first showed up I wasn't very impressed. I was still sore over losing Maria (and Maria's dad who I really rather wanted to hook up with Sarah-Jane). But Rani has outed to the point where now I can hardly imagine the team without her.

And her parents are the most awesome thing every.

And Rani/Clyde is adorable.

And Rani is just great in her own right.

(I've just yoinked the icons by the way to add to my giant collection of icon pretties. Heh.)

:-D

I was sad to lose Maria (Clocket - you do realise Alan must have been nearly 30 years younger than SJ!!!? 8-o :lol:) but I liked Rani at once, and since I have come to be all Maria Who? Oh, yes... sorry... watching Rani!

Thanks. :-)

Yeah, but Sarah-Jane doesn't look her age, and my mother's married to someone who's 25 years older. No biggie. Heh.

But yes, RANI!!!

True. For some reason I have this irrational squick factor if the female is much older than the male that is entirely unfair of me. But, as Seven says, "Love has never been known for its rationality." (And in my family tree, I have a complete generation skip on one side, because of my g-g-g-Grandfather marrying his second wife in 1848 when he was 68 and she was 29... !!! I would love to have a time machine and find out what the heck was going on there. Or possibly I really wouldn't. Sorry. What were we saying? :lol:)

And Sarah Jane certainly doesn't look her age... I don't think she can say a thing about non-aging Sixties teachers. I think she may be non-aging herself.

Yay, Rani!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay, someone I recognize!!!!!

lost_spook February 20 2011, 09:12:02 UTC

:-D Yes, yay Rani! She's lovely.

Yeah, I know, but the thing is, they are still awesome, you see. ;-)

dbskyler February 21 2011, 20:25:01 UTC

As I thoroughly agree with all the choices I recognize, I am sure they are all awesome!

lost_spook February 21 2011, 20:41:30 UTC

:-D

They are!

Oh, I can claim to be sadly behind - I think the eps I missed in S4 look very good, so I am v regretful that I have not managed to catch them so far. ;-) Hope you get the chance - certainly Death of the Doctor is worth it alone, and there are some other nice eps along the way.
