Completely Random Thing About Utopia

I think what makes me find the Ten/Jack ship endearing, more than anything else, is the fact that Ten calls him "Jack." Several times. Nine didn't do that. It makes me want them to hug lots more. Because I'm nauseatingly sentimental sometimes.

That isn't to say that I wouldn't be perfectly happy if all the fic ever written about the finale was purely concerned with Saxon. Because I would.

Also, any blonde woman guest-starring in New Who has nothing to do with Rose. They are all there because of Polly. Always. Because Polly was first and blonde and wore more mascara than Rose. And she bet Cybermen and redcoats and had Mad Plans that generally worked, thus making her very much like the Doctor. And sometimes people randomly fell in love with her, just like the Doctor. This means that if you have watched New Who and fail to realise it is actually all about Polly you are both Wrong and Interrogating The Text From The Wrong Perspective. But I can understand that you might have mistaken the Polly!symbolism for Romana!symbolism, because the Doctor did love her best.

And, incidentally, I can't be arsed doing tags on dwicons today. Because I read post after post about how Martha was stealing Rose's moments in reviews of season three, or some guff like that, and now there are icons that have photoshopped Rose into Martha's place in the promo shots. Oh the irony. It would burn if I didn't find it so insanely tiresome.

Also, there was character-bashing this week. That was unamusing. There's a reason I refuse on principle to put No Character Bashing in the rules. And it's because it falls into the same category as 'no trolling' and 'no flaming' and 'no slagging off The Time Monster,' in that they're bloody stupid things to do that are obviously going to piss any half-sensible person off.

And for god's sake don't ask me why I'm not okay with character-bashing.

Happily, I am v glad that Rusty has seen fit to match my OTP slash pairing with an easily shippable het-pairing. Well done Rusty. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, there are pictures on the BBC Doctor Who site that explain, yes.

I'm kind of okay with it when it's not being posted to my oh-so-precious comms, cause then, at least, I've got to go looking for it.

I WANT SIMM!MASTER NOW PLS.

Enjoy it doubley-much for my sake. I'm not allowed to watch it unless I burst into uncontrollable tears over the Stargate Series Finale tomorrow night. Stupid bets.

That is CRUEL and WRONG. And, frankly, unless they're bringing poor ol' Carson back only to squish him again, I'm not seeing how that can happen.

I have very sorry re SG-verse as over the last year my lukewarm feelings towards it have been cruelly frozen by systematic elimination of Characters I Like and promotion of Characters I Don't

Loyal and devout fan, that's me - but I still couldn't watch Sunday. I'll watch it later on DVD when I have control over the pause and fast-forward buttons. But I think I'll probably only cry in joy when the Danvala shipper in me gets rewarded with the snogging.

I could watch Drums, if I wanted to, but then I'd have to do artwork for people who said I had no willpower.

Vala! Yes, that's the one I like and makes me want to watch the last year or so properly.

Vala and the Vala/Daniel ship are almost as much win as the Master. lol.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

Now, let's not go crazy here...

Well I said "almost." And they're in completely different fandoms, hence even the closeness of "almost." If Daniel and Vala were in Doctor Who, the Master would still far surpass them. But they'd still be made of win.

Yes, yes, they would
