  1. Elisabeth Sladen would be completely awesome. Or John Barrowman, or anyone else from the Torchwood cast!
  2. Well, after waiting on tenterhooks all week for the new episode of Doctor Who, I was pretty disappointed, actually. So far most people have disagreed with me, so to show you my reasons I'll c/p my review that I posted on my lj... I was very disappointed with this episode. I felt that it was the weakest episode of the new Who so far. Although it had several things going for it, the episode as a whole fell rather flat. I did like the concept, but I felt that it could have been so much better with a better script, a more sensible plot, definitely a better ending. Anyway, there were a few things I liked about the episode, so I’ll list those before I start trashing it, lol… - The costumes were gorgeous. One thing I do like is big foofy dresses, and this episode filled its quota very well. - Mickey and Rose were great in this episode. Mickey’s glee at getting a spaceship on his first go, Rose acting the seasoned space traveller, the banter about the Doctor’s companions, - The clockwork dudes did look very cool, both with the masks and without. - The Kiss I actually quite liked, although I know many people didn’t approve. For me it fit in very well with this idea of the Doctor’s curiosity and eagerness for new experiences – he’s obviously so pleased with himself afterwards that you can’t help but laugh. - The horse. It was a stupid idea, but David Tennant had good chemistry with it. - The Doctor Drunk! Yes, that was fun, and it was ok because he wasn’t properly drunk after all. - I actually liked the character of Reinette, despite all the things wrong with her. She had some terrible stuff to do, but still on the whole she was likeable. - The Doctor being all sad. David Tennant played it very well, even though the circumstances surrounding it I was not impressed with. Okay, now we’ve got that out of the way, it’s time to bitch, bitch, and bitch some more… - The payoff was stupid. The reveal of the name of the ship had this air of: “Oh, aren’t we clever, this is why they did it allâ€, but I thought it was just silly and they could have come up with a much better reason. - The whole story was just ridiculous generally. It felt like a real effort to suspend my disbelief – it felt like: “Let’s make the Doctor fall in love, let’s add some plot to make it happen†rather than “What would happen if the Doctor met Madam de Pompadourâ€. - The “mind meld†– what the hell was that?! All that bull about the Doctor’s lonely childhood … I like the idea of the Doctor’s loneliness, but it was so heavy-handed and artificial. In School Reunion it was so well done, and arose naturally from the plot, but here it was like they just wedged it in to make the episode sadder. - The ending was terrible, and it wasn’t properly explained at all how the Doctor managed to get back. For one thing, Reinette had been told that all of the time windows were closed, so even if he could still get through the fireplace, how would she know? And the technobabble was dreadful, and didn’t make me believe at all. - In fact, all of the technobabble in this episode was awful. I have a lot of experience with this sort of thing, and this was some of the worst I’ve ever heard. It was like the writer just couldn’t be bothered. - The fact that he apparently couldn’t go back to see her before she died. Come on dude, you have a TARDIS. OK, maybe he wouldn’t be able to manage it, but surely he’d at least try? Instead of just moping about? - Writing the Doctor stupid to make the plot work. This, to me, is a sure sign that you’re doing something wrong. I mean, come on, he knows that the connection in the fireplace is dodgy – if he really wanted her to come he would have brought her through straight away. - Excuse me. The Doctor already knows how to dance. Remember last season, there was an episode called The Doctor Dances? Don't pretend like he's forgotten. Thank you. So what did everyone else think?

  4. The only thing I bid on was the Lis Sladen board, but I didn't get it. *sob* Oh, well, it would have been murder getting it back on the train anyway, and I don't know where I would have put it, and I still got her autograph on Monday so it's all good! I quite fancied one of those Tony Head plates, but i didn't get one in the end...
  5. I want to see Elizabeth doing more cool stuff! I want them to stop messing about with John/Elizabeth and give us some decent John/Teyla and Elizabeth/Rodney instead! I want plenty of slashy subtext... And more Zelenka!!
  6. God, I loved it! I cried my eyes out! "My Sarah Jane" *sob* And K-9, a tin dog, has better ideas than Mickey, lol. But at least he got there in the end. Ooh, I hope they bring her back again sometimes, she's my favourite companion ever!!
  7. Ooh, exciting! I'll be there sat, sun and mon, but i'm crewing all except saturday afternoon. yay for the doctor and rose, i'll have to keep an eye out for you guys! and, omg, neville costume!! YAY! I was going to see Kate Mulgrew and Diana Muldaur, but DM has cancelled now, and I'd quite like to meet Elizabeth Sladen...

    Potter folk! Hands up who's actually going to be at MK this weekend...
  9. He's fabulous! Please, please can we have him?
  10. Aaaw, no votes yet for Zelenka? This would be cool if we could vote for more than one - there are just too many cool people on Atlantis!
  11. Not to mention she played a pretty prominent role in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. It would be really cool to meet her!
  12. Thank you! Hmm... how should we organise a round robin? Should we get everyone to sign up first? Or just kind of jump in and see what happens?
  13. Yo guys! Since it's quiet on here, I thought I'd link to my brand spanking new fic! It's AU, and it's about what would have happened had Harry's parents not died... If anyone fancies a read, it's here: http://www.fictionalley.org/authors/cosmic_llin/DIAM.html Also, does anyone think we should do a round robin fic on here or something? I think that could be kinda cool...
  14. I WATCHED IT OH MY GOD IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! *hyperventilates*
