I need another fandom really...
Apr. 18th, 2006 11:28 pmBBC you are forgiven! Monk is BACK! Yo! JOYOUS!
In other news I find the whole Ten/Rose versus Nine/Rose strangely perplexing. This is my own fault for being born far too late to have a proper Doctor all of my very own - and having The Five Doctors be the first story I ever saw, making self very, very confused - thus forcing self to adopt a Doctor that was around twenty years before I was born. Because of his incredibly confusing hotness! See how I no longer have to strike that out? That's proper acceptance right there. No denial for me, oh noes. Or, really, it is because he is fabulous and brilliant and there's this bit in The Space Pirates where Jamie and Zoe are unconscious and he wakes up and he calls "Jamie!" and reaches over Zoe to check that he's alive thus proving their love forever.
Or at least until everyone starts with the Two/Romana which would be great. Yes.
But, yes, it's different, it's changed, the dynamic thing between the Doctor and Rose. And much as I rather liked it between Nine and Rose, it was, to me, the sort of thing that definitely had a sort of use-by date on it. Because he was broken and needy and a bit obsessed by Rose and that's all fine and well and makes for good telly for a bit, and, yes, they could maybe have got another year out of it but if it went on any longer, just, no, I don't think that would have done anything except make people throw things. And Nine was a bit broken, and Time Lords get fixed by regenerating.
And everyone - not actually everyone, but it does seem to be that most unreliable and terrifying of things: Fandom Opinion - is that Sarah was fine with Three, but was great with Four. Though how much of that is Actual Greatness and how much is that crazed love for the Hinchcliffe era, I have no idea. I loved her most when she was with Harry. Because that's my TARDIS team: Four, Sarah and Harry, they could win against anything. Also, they started the Time War, yay. Course, she is now going to be canon with Ten too.And they will go off together to have crazy adventures. Is it just me that loves the fact they are not just confirming Old Skool canon here, but Old Skool spin-off canon? Again, admittedly, after 1983, but still, me likes that lots.
There was a point, there was. Something about dynamics. And fixing people being Quite Good Really. And different dynamics. Being a good thing too. I really want Jack back so much, because I loved that dynamic. With the three of them. That's the sort of number I like to see aboard the TARDIS, three. Good number that. Sacred, according to the Minbari anyway, and I'm sure they knew what they were talking about.
Oh, yes, and the whole absence of any sort of actual feeling I have about regeneration. Cried like a Roman during Parting of the Ways, but the actual regeneration thing was great. Shiny. Lots better than having Sylvestor dress up like Colin, cause, dude, that was a bit messed up.
Really what I'm saying is that it all went downhill once we started getting colour television.
Or, no, I remember now. I seem to be somewhat shallower than I expected and feel a lot more comfortable with Ten/Rose than Nine/Rose, and not just because Godlike Arrogance seems a tad less messed up than guilt/post traumatic stress disorder/having some issues with genocide, again. But, no, it's because of the age difference in actors. Which has nothing to do with the fictional universe and just, hrrm, I don't like the fact that I seem to have that issue. Tut.
But the whole shipper vs. shipper thing is a tad bizarre, though I'm still ridiculously delighted by the knock-on effect to the old series that all the shipping in the new has had. So while I may think of it all as a wee bit silly, I would totally be arguing for Two/Romana over Six/Romana and really that's pretty much the same thing.
Incidentally, was it really that obvious there were Tennant fangirls at that Ready, Steady, Cook? I admit nothing, just askin' is all. Also every time someone refers to it as RSC, I think Royal Shakespeare Company and just, bad acronym, bad. Yes.
I've had a cup of coffee. This was clearly An Error at this time of night. Should investigate how long it takes caffeininineieie to get out of my precious blood, yarg.
