fanmix: 23 dead women [doctor who & torchwood]

[vanitashaze]

So I as I was saying - what was it, yesterday? - I recently watched Voyage of the Damned and as some of you might know (doubt it), I wrote a little rant about it. But as I realize nobody actually reads these rants I will recap: I did not like Astrid. I think Kylie Minogue is a talentless dolled-up twit, and having her run around in a French maid

Ooh. I really love (?) the idea behind this fanmix. And the music looks excellent! :D I just wish I could remember who all these women are . . . And I thought Carys didn't die? (Or is this not Carys from TW . . . I'm pretty bad with DW canon.)

But yay Lucy Saxon especially. God do I adore her. ♥ And Vienna Teng? Double yay!

[vanitashaze]

Technically, she did not, but I felt that being forced to commit multiple murders via unconsented sex was still pretty bad. (At least, it's nothing I'd want happening to me.)

There needs to be more Lucy-love. I mean, without her, the Master would probably still be bopping around London-town, scribbling the Doctor sux me on public lavatories and whatnot.

Daaaaaamn. And I don't even remember half of these--who were Estelle, Jenny, The Genius, Lizzie, Marie Thomas, Mary, Sally Phelan, and Stacy Campbell? Fuck, I'm going to have to start paying more attention to the deaths, aren't I. First Heroes, now Doctor Who...stupid gender-unbalanced television. *grumbles*

These things do seem to have a bad habit of sneaking up on you. With me it was "Melodrama, angels, bla bla, girl-of-the-week dead, what else is new - hey, wait a minute!"

Estelle - Jack's girlfriend that he left during the war. And then reconnected with pretending to be his own son. o.O
Jenny - Martha's Human Nature sidekick.
The Genius - the gal who got shot compliments of John "Poodleshagger" Hart, and then tried to blow him up from beyond the grave. (Too bad it didn't work.)
Lizzie - fuck, I can't even remember. Oh yeah, she was the rape victim from Ghost Machine.
Marie Thomas - the ex-HIV patient eaten alive by alien bugs.
Mary - Toshiko's lesbian alien sex adventure. 'nuf said.
Sally Phelan - the bride-to-be converted to a Cyber(wo)man, and zapped by the totally AWESOME Mrs. Moore.
Stacy Campbell - plumpy going to dump her boyfriend, gotten turned into a small horde of walking alien fat-babies.

(Dear lord. It appears I rather love making lists today.)

[futuresoon]

Eeeeeeesh. Didn't even think of all those...and, hah, now that we've got 'Planet of the Ood', we can throw another one on the list :P

[vanitashaze]

Eah, no! *covers ears* I have not gotten the chance to watch de episode yet - though I suppose from that promo one could kind of see it coming, but still.

This is awesome; I agree, NewWho is sometimes less progressive than it wants to think of itself as, and this is a great example of why. (Not that it's bad...just that it's obviously missing a point or two.) Also, this is a really awesome mix. Thank you!

[vanitashaze]

Thank you!

[ladyyueh]

This is such an awesome idea and I can see the hard work put into it because the lyrics seem to fit so perfectly.

*appreciative clapping*

Thanks!

EDIT: BTW, does the title reference something because I could only count 22 women.

[vanitashaze]

Damn. Well, apparently all it means is that I cannot count.

[claidissa]

This is so awesome - all the songs fit perfectly! :D

Did Lucy really die, though?? Did I miss that? That would make me really sad! She was bad-ass! ;-;

[vanitashaze]

Not physically dead, though, but the way things turned out she might have been better off so. (There are a few on this list who are not technically dead - Carys, Lucy - but had Bad Things Happen to them.)

She was badass. I hope they'll bring her back sometime.
