I watched The Five Doctors with my flatmates. Flatmate One decided that Anthony Ainley was hot and proceeded to drool over the Master. Flatmate Two decided that Two is the best Doctor ever, with haircut being her sole judging criterion. Everybody mocked the triangles and I found myself apologising for the Sarah vs. the hill of very slight gradient ( Read more... )

I watched Time-Flight. First two episodes were absolutely terrible for one reason: Kalid. A horrendous mix of Arabic stereotypes topped off with the ugly green prophetic mask which leaked snot when he 'died'. Worse than Talons in my opinion ( Read more... )

I finished The Seeds of Death and am still very much in love with Jamie. There's a scene in the fifth episode in which Zoe and Miss Kelly and busy discussing something technical and Jamie sits there and fidgets. I don't know why I love that moment, I just do ( Read more... )

I listened to Big Finish's Spare Parts last night, in which the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa witness and become a part of the origins of the Cybermen (it could easily be called Genesis of the Cybermen). I intended to listen to the first episode before bed but wound up listening to the whole thing in one go. It's brilliant ( Read more... )

Everyone is talking about it: TDK. My flat is actually having issues over TDK. We can't all go see it together until Saturday, which is leaving a split between those who have decided every girl for herself and see it as soon as she individually can, and those who do not want to leave the others out. I fall into the latter category, but them I'm ( Read more... )

I was telling my mother today about my mission to watch the entire Classic series of Doctor Who (which has faltered in recent months, but I'll get back on track ( Read more... )

Stolen from a couple of people on my flist: When you see this post, quote from Doctor Who on your LJ

There's no point being grown-up if you can't be childish sometimes

The Fourth Doctor, "Robot"
Quoted for truth more than anything else. What's the point of spending your childhood waiting to become an adult and finally gain the freedom to do what ( Read more... )

The best thing about The Doctor’s Daughter had to be the Ten/Donna/Jenny dynamic. I very much want to see AU fics in which Jenny actually goes with the Doctor and Donna and the three of them form some kind of odd family unit - the father, the daughter and the mother/aunt figure - and go and save planets and civilizations throughout the universe and ( Read more... )

Revelation of the Daleks has knocked The Visitation out of its position as worst Classic Who serial I’ve watched. Thankfully it was only two episodes. I don’t think I could have taken more of it. Too many characters, too many plots and WTF was with the DJ? Last thing the serial needed was an annoying character with a terrible accent giving a ( Read more... )

I finally caught Fragments because I wanted to see the origins of the UNIT controversy for myself and beyond ranting at the Torchwood writers and RTD I think the simple answer is that it was not UNIT ( Read more... )
