Doctor Who, series 1

[rm]

I have just finished disc three.


The Long Game -- fine but forgettable. Standard SF tropes.

Father's Day -- surprisingly nice

and then... we meet Captain Jack....

- first these two episodes creeped the fuck out of me
- second, the Brits really can't fuck it up when it comes to doing something weird with WWII stories, can they? Sooooo good.
- Jack! Jack is hillarious, charming and even more awkward at the people thing than in Torchwood. A lot of people have said to me he's more lighthearted with the Doctor, but wow did he seem fucked up and with a lot of pain behind his eyes to me.
- the ending. I loved the ending. A really joyous happy ending that didn't feel forced, but very random and glorious. I loved it!
- the dancing!
- Rose and the Doctor and Jack! OMG!

When I watch media that I love, that really gets me, I get very infected with it -- not the obsessive thing, so much as I just sort of get too much of the cadence of it for a bit -- I don't know how else to explain it -- it's like how I can't mimic people's voices but can mimic their cadences or physical gestures, but like with movies. So poor Patty has me on her hands, and I'm manic and making her dance in the living room!

Aaaaah! I love this shit!

And now I must go steal Patty out of the shower to spin her around the living room again!

I love my life.

OMG!!! YAY!!! That's absolutely fantastic news. Wow, that has definitely made my day.

Mind you, that's not *officially* confirmed or nothing. But, er, suffice it to say that if you get the writers drunk enough at a convention, things get said... ;)
