I totally stole this from dreameaters ;P

Pick a fictional character from a fandom I know and I'll answer the following questions:

01) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her. Likewise if you dislike the character.
02) Is he/she important to the general plot?
03) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally?
04) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
05) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by their relationship with any other character(s)? (romance-wise or platonic)
06) Is there anything about the character you would change?
07) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc)
08) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites?
09) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom?
10) Is this character popular with the fanbase?

DO IT. :D

So You Think You Can Dance spoilers under the cut...

This is probably the first time EVER I've cried over an elimination from SYTYCD, or even when I watched AI.

Will in no way, shape or form should have gone home. I'm ashamed that I didn't vote last night, I really didn't want to see my cell phone bill if I did, 'cause I would have voted Will and Katee for the full two hours.

THANK FUCKING GOD KATEE IS SAFE.

I'm sorry but Mark should have gone. To me, he was completely unimpressive last night.

And those fucking Mark fangirls on _sytycd_ can fucking bite me with all their "petitions" to call for him last night.

He shouldn't be safe over Will.

And all those damned comments about him being "boring" and "bland" piss me off. HE'S FUCKING SERIOUS ABOUT DANCING. GOD FORBID SOMEONE IS SERIOUS ABOUT DANCING.

My tone there will no doubt piss someone off, I apologize.

Ok, so I'm not really up on all this news, but I've heard that there's going to be a Law and Order: UK.

Second, it's confirmed by the actor himself, that Jamie Bamber will be on it (points to icon).

And I believe it's confirmed that Freema Agyeman will be on it. I'd LOVE to see her in something new.

OMGYAYYES! It might be crap for all I care, but Jamie and Freema on the same show, possible in a scene together? alsdjkfas YES PLEASE.

I mean, I endured watching Cold Case for this man (sorry to those who like it, it's not bad, I just find it tedious and boring and utterly predictable).

And Ghost Whisperer! *gag*

I really hope they don't do something stupid and have him alter his natural accent, because I adore it so.

It's weird to be excited about this, isn't it?

Hi you guys! I'm so exhausted right now, but I felt like posting :D

Mostly because I wanted to share my WTF?! feelings about something.

So, I mentioned in my post the other day that I'm re-watching Firefly and I'm nearly done and I just remembered that well over a month ago I was pledging to watch my S3 DVDs of The Office and just...stopped.

I, I don't know what happened. Did "The Merger"/"The Convict" kill me as much as I thought when I watched them? Or did the fandom kill me? Most likely the latter as it's driving me bonkers.

I will probably start up watching that again soon. Once I get over my renewed Firefly glee :)

Also, I hate to do it, but I wanted to update this moodtheme. I adore this one with Rose and Martha, but I was thinking of making it, maybe, Nine and Martha, or Donna and Martha.

OR NINE, DONNA AND MARTHA. heh

Any ideas?

And I think calling him that is an offense to the psychotic lowlife community.

2008-07-13T18:14:13Z

Hey you guys! A list:

- Been a bit of week for me. Don't want to get into details, but things might be weird for me for a while.

- I'd really love it, if any of you were interested, if you'd look into signing up for martha_lims. First challenge is already up, if you want to check it out, and there's two weeks before I close sign ups. :D I'm not ashamed of this pimping!

- I getting into making icons, specifically Doctor Who icons. Sort of a therapy to help me with my anger towards the finale. Yeah, there's just some parts of that finale I've come to loathe and I don't want to take it out on you guys, my lovely lovely f-list.

- I like to move things I don't like from my mind. Working on DW icons is really NOT the answer to that. Hmmm...I suppose co-modding martha_lims would fall under that. BUT she's like, the one thing from that finale that I had NO problems with.

- Anyone on my f-list watching the new USA network show In Plain Sight? I love it, it's fun, with little sides of drama and angst, and enjoyable.

- So many shows I get to watch in the summertime now! The one previously mentioned, Burn Notice, The Middleman (which I've described to some as awesome, terrible, fun and THE BEST), The Closer and Eureka. I think I'm missing something...OKAY FINE, I ADMIT IT, I'm also watching So You Think You Can Dance.

- I'm in love with the pizza place down the street from me.

- You know, I was watching something this morning to remind me of this. I mentioned something about this a couple weeks ago. Anyway, I've never made it a secret that I sympathize and relate to female characters that pine for the wrong guy. And I mentioned the other week the double standard of girls getting attacked in fandom for this and male characters in similar situaitons don't, but I FINALLY GOT IT.

Girls pine for the boys that treat them like shit, and the guys (specifically in shows I watch, this isn't widespread) pine usually for a girl that's not so bad to them (or in some cases, their best friend).

I was again reminded of this when I was watching a couple episodes of Firefly. Yeah, I'm totally re-watching all of those right now to be reminded of the AWESOMENESS. Anyway, I remembered that Kaylee pined for Simon, and that he was sometimes quite a jerk towards her. But I totally forgot that she didn't let him get away with it. She always let him know when he had said something out of line and I'm reminded why I liked them in the first place and why I utterly adored her too. Plus, he didn't do it on purpose and he was so awkward when speaking a lot of the time to Kaylee, so you almost felt bad for him.

- I'm hungry. I think I'm gonna have some of that pizza I mentioned earlier :D

- Weird, random post is now...over *blows kisses*

OMG, you guys were just totally reminded of what a supreme dork I am, weren't you?

Doctor Who

2008-07-06T17:53:35Z

Hey you guys, I just watched "Journey's End" and there's a couple things I have to say about it...

First off, to get it off my chest, I did not like the end with Rose and the Clone!Doctor. I don't really want to have a discussion about why it didn't settle well with me. But my biggest problem with it was Ten passing the clone off as an early version of Nine and disowning him. And then telling Rose, but you can have him!

Was the fuck is that?!?!

And I'll restrain myself from mentioning what I thought about Rose choosing to make out with the version who could say I love you.

That's all I have to say about that scene. Done.

So, I'm really sorry, Catherine Tate, that RTD thought that a proper ending. Although, if there were ever an argument as to who's story as companion was the most heartbreaking, I really don't think there's any doubt that you won that as Donna.

I haven't cried like that since I first saw "The Parting of the Ways". Serious. I mean, I cried last year when Martha walked away, but that was because I had NOT A CLUE that Freema was leaving. (I have no idea how I didn't know, but I didn't, unlike CE, BP and CT)

This wasn't manufactured, it broke my heart that Donna will never know and Wilf will. And you know that Wilf will be watching those stars every night.

And I'd like to understand why all her memories of the Doctor and her travels had to be erased. Why not just her memories of having the events with his brain in her head, or maybe back to "Turn Left", I DON'T UNDERSTAND. She broke me when she said she wanted to expected to travel in the TARDIS forever. God that was hard. GAH.

*weeps for a moment* *breathes*

It needed more Martha. heh Sorry. I was quite proud of her though. I mean, I have no doubt that it wasn't her first choice to blow up the planet, and that was quite clearly shown when she contacted the Daleks, to negotiate! How awesome was that! All the other "soldiers" would have just done it.

And unlike the Doctor, Rose was able to see that it was a brilliant move (you've no idea how happy I was to see no jealously from either of them, no idea, I almost wept when I saw how amazed and happy Martha was to see that the Doctor had Rose with him, because I've been arguing for a while that you could see in "Utopia" where Martha truly sees why the Doctor "mourned" Rose-even if I didn't like the mentions-and that ultimately she felt left out).

And when Davros was talking about the Doctor turning his former companions into weapons, you saw on her face how sad that made her.

But you know what? I'd rather this planet be in the hands of Martha, Jack, Mickey and Sarah Jane than the Doctor (or at least Ten) ANY DAY OF THE FUCKING WEEK.

Also? I've never liked the idea of Martha joining Torchwood, I don't know, after she left the Doctor, I liked the idea that she could come back anytime to travel. But when her and Jack were walking away, holding hands!, and Mickey joined them and they were like a merry trio, I was sold. I can't wait to see if she's joining them.

AND MICKEY! *hugs him* So, honestly, were Mickey and Jackie having an affair or something? "I'll miss you more than anyone", seriously, what was that going on there?

I liked them all in the TARDIS, jumping around hugging each other (Martha and Rose! And then the Doctor, OHH, that'd have been a good team).

But ultimately, I really don't know what I just got done watching. It felt like there was no point, to any of it. The clone was there to go off with Rose, Donna became DoctorDonna to have her whole memory erased, Mickey was there to bring back to our world.

Oh wait, no, the clone was there to do what the Doctor was too fucking scared to do. And then he had to offer to "save" Davros and if I were able to feel angry with this episode, I'd be raging about that.

I'm really done with Ten. Unless Moffat is bringing in a new Doctor, I won't be watching his series. Most likely, at least. RTD broke my soul with "The Last of the Time Lords" and I never got it back with this series, so I just feel nothing about this.

That's it.

Okay, I'm gonna go and watch my beloved Nine now.

I keep finding your mother's teeth everywhere. Is she spitting them out or are they escaping?

2008-07-05T16:20:11Z

I'm so wordy when I do these things!

Comment on this post and I will choose seven interests from your profile. You will then explain what they mean/why you are interested in them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so that others can play along.

angdelia gave me...

Matthew Fox
Yeah, there once was a time that I loved Lost more than anything and I loved Fox's character more than anything. Yeah, those were good times and I like to remember them by keeping his name in my interests because I do still like him. You know, residual love and all that stuff.

Luke/Lorelai
Oh man, I loved them so effing much. If you want to get technical, they were my first OTP. Yeah, I said it. I enjoyed them so much on Gilmore Girls. Then they did that weird thing with them at the end of S5, and S6 kinda ruined them for me and I didn't watch S7 at all. But S1-S5 (up to about "So...Good Talk") are almost perfect to me. I might be idolizing that a bit, but that's the way I want it.

Angel
OH, I loved that show! I have a sordid history with it, but overall, I enjoy it a lot. Obviously there are episodes ~~and seasons~~ I'm not as fond of, but I actually loved the finale and I liked the overall show. I try to catch it on repeats on one of the channels we have.

Tosh/Owen
It's a bit of a hard ship to have. Especially when you look at the two separately, but really, I sort of love/hate what they did with them in S2. I don't know how to explain why I loved them. They were a couple I loved in theory (and maybe fic) but if things were different, I'd never want them a canon couple. (Kinda of how I liked the idea of Jack/Tosh) There are parts of me that still don't like Owen and wish Tosh would've grown up and moved on. But it's one of those things that's easy to relate to and I liked how it ended. Even if my heart is still broken into itty bitty pieces.

Nine/Martha
Heh. Now, this actually isn't meant in a shippy way. I just like the idea of Martha being Nine's companion. I don't think some people realized how compassionate Martha truly was, but as a doctor, I do see a nurturer in her and I think that would have been an interesting mix with Nine. Of course, all this actually came about because they're two of my favorite DW characters, but in the end, I think it'd work.

Hugh Jackman
Yeah, been in love with him since 2000. Really enjoyed him when I saw X-Men and then I saw him without all the hair and was sort of stunned by how gorgeous I found him. There's something about Australia, you guys.

Skins
LOVED the first series. Still...haven't watched the second, heh. I will though, just to have closure though. Sometime. Don't really know what else to say about the show. It just drew me in and held me with the first series.

And that's it. Now the dreaded wait for the finale of DW begins. *frets*

2008-07-04T19:08:59Z

Hey you guys! I just have a quick second to say...to my American f-list at least, heh...

HAPPY 4th of JULY!

All those celebrating, have a good, safe time :D

Nine centuries in, I'm coping.

2008-07-03T03:04:33Z

So, that car accident I mentioned that my sister was in, seems her broken collarbone is a little more serious than first thought.

She has to go in for an outpatient procedure tomorrow morning (it's still a fucking surgery, they cut open her shoulder for heaven's sake!), I heard it second hand so basically, the bones are now too far apart to heal naturally and not leave a bump, so they are surgically fixing it. Hopefully, better recovery.

*sigh* My mother and sister are so lucky. *pouts*

In other news, I have now flipped and am totally dreading the Doctor Who finale. In the mean time, I've gathering all the S1 episodes I have to prepare to watch them. Again.

Oh yeah, and a new round is up at martha_lims, feel free to check it out and sign up!

Doctor Who

2008-06-30T17:45:14Z

What else am I going to talk about?! Well, I could talk about The Office, but I still haven't continued watching S3 yet. I will! I promise. After this Saturday and I see the finale for DW :P

Okay, so I'm relatively caught up on Doctor Who episodes, meaning I've seen the latest episodes.

"Turn Left"

- Oh Donna. I'm really glad that I didn't really know of Catherine Tate before this because I've never wondered if she could handle the material given to her. I've seen since "The Runaway Bride" that she's good, so it's both unsurprising and awesome to see her at the top of her game.

- Rose was fine in the episode (my God, it feels weird to talk about her! I don't think I've mentioned her in my DW posts this season since "Partners in Crime"), although I would have liked her to expand on her reasoning for not sharing information. Like, why saying Bad Wolf was okay, but not her name.

- I don't think she sounded as bad as some made out. It did seem at times like she was clinching her jaw though, but it definitely wasn't OMG SO HORRIBLE.

- Just a quick thing, I remember reading people saying that Rose has become more like the Doctor. DO NOT LIKE/WANT. For anyone. Because that means they're more like Ten, and OMG, we don't need more Tens. He's fucking enough.

- We could use more Nines. Totally gonna watch "The End of the World" later.

- ARGH, they had to bring back that damned No Salute thing. Fucking annoying.

- Okay, so when the two were in the TARDIS, and Rose sort of touches Donna's back and asks if she wants to see it, was anyone else really weirded out by the way Billie played that? Her little smile and the way she said it, it felt creepy to me. And then when Donna was in that circle and could see the...spider? Whatever it was, and Rose said something else and her tone and look was creepy again. Was weird.

- Are they suggesting with Wilf what I think they were? Oh you guys, I love that man so much. I WILL HURT SOMEONE IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO HIM, I AM NOT KIDDING.

- I like what RTD did with Donna here. Had her whole growth that we've seen gradually (sort of) and had it in one episode. Seemed a bit pointless while at the same time seemed important for us to see. I've no idea why.

- I'm not the biggest fan of RTD's episodes, this wasn't anything I'd call the best, but it was solid. I don't like some of the things he brings to his episodes, he seems to want to inject parental issues (I liked him mentioning Donna's father, though) and he doesn't seem to think that the majority of humans know how to handle a crisis. Which he might use to put companions and their families above them, but it just pisses me off. For this episode, that complaint is minor though, as it can just be put up to worse case scenario.

- Although, Donna's mother? I just...*mutters to self: if you can't say anything nice, don't say it at all...unless it's about Ten*

"The Stolen Earth"

- What was up with Bad Wolf if it's completely dropped the next fucking episode!?

- Here, RTD's faith in humanity is shown again. Well, his utter LACK of faith in us keeping our heads together. Unlike, "Turn Left", it fucking burned here.

- Just quick things about Rose because that's all I have: I liked the majority of her screen time (that includes when she scared off the two teens, found that very Rose-like for some reason, probably how Billie played it, just like GitF, she likes the guns, heh), and while I understood her frustration in not getting through with the transmission, it was unnecessary (IMHO) for her to make comments like everyone was purposefully ignoring her. But I put shame on RTD, he knows full well that her frustration could have been shown differently, and more constructively.

- One more thing, didn't care for Rose's reaction to the Doctor's regeneration, that's it, done talking about it.

- Would be nice (or not, don't know) to be a Ten/Rose shipper ~~like RTD~~. I'm sorry. *mutters again: don't have anything nice to say...*

- WILL NOT COMMENT ON ENDING except to say I will be PISSED if it's a cop-out ;P Which, come on, does anyone really believe this won't be some sort of fake-out?

- Will people please stop teasing Donna about her impending DOOM? Just fucking tell her what the hell you're talking about!

- Man, it was tough watching Donna this week. Her travels are similar to Martha's in that she loves it, but it keeps throwing all these curves at her and beating her down. Kudos to Catherine, she definitely showed the stress that just seemed to be coming down on Donna, and you couldn't help but want to hug her (or make Wilf appear to cuddle her).

- She's still SO good for the Doctor though. While I don't think the same vice versa (DUDE, he so could have been more comforting to her than he was, HER FUCKING PLANET IS MISSING), they're a good team.

- DOUBLE HEARTBEATS?!

- Cannot wait to see what's happening with Donna in the finale.

- Oh Sarah Jane! Heh, and Luke. It must be so much different for her to go through all this, now with a son.

- Team Torchwood was great! Nice seeing them work together, looking forward to the episodes they're doing next year because THEY CANNOT KILL THEM ON TORCHWOOD, RIGHT?!

- OH HARRIET. I was always wondering if those spoilers about her being the bad guy came from anywhere, but it must have been just speculation about her actually coming back. I LOVE that she stuck to her guns, still believed in what she did, still protecting her people. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT TEN? She fucking died for you (yeah, in a way she did). I love you Harriet, and rest in peace.

- I know some of you did, but how come not EVERYONE is talking about the fact that her signal was the drums?!

- Did y'all really think I'd go the whole post without mentioning Martha? ;)

Very nice to see her doing well with UNIT. And hey! I bet modern New York was better than 1930s New York. I feel sorry for that city. Never catches a break when this planet gets taken over.

I LOVED HER GOING TO HER MOTHER. I've seen people gloating about the fact that she didn't go to her fiancé (fucking hell, we're back on that again?), but it was actually quite wonderful to see this instead (yeah, I'm a momma's girl). While Francine was overbearing last season, she loves her daughter very much. That's very obvious. She only wants her safe, and it was so sweet to see her mother RUSH down those stairs to get to Martha (No, no tears at that). And it's sort of like a counterpoint to last season, at the end of the world, Martha had to leave, and now when it's the end of the world, she goes and stays with her mom.

It was a bit suspicious though, that at the end of the episode we see where everyone is, Jack, Donna and Rose with the Doctor, Sarah Jane on her way to the Doctor and intercepted, Torchwood defending themselves and everything and we didn't see what Martha was doing. I suspect a surprise save?

(I even have a guess as to how Sarah Jane might be saved!)

That Osterhagen(??) Key was interesting. We has the general (or whoever, I wasn't paying that much attention, heh) made it seem like she'll need to use it and Harriet was very adamant that she not use it, never, ever, ever. Very mysterious and suspect.

I adored seeing that Martha was trying to stick around to the New York base to do her job. OH MARTHA. I loved when she was talking to Jack and he said something about hoping she slipped him something in his drink. Does that mean they go out for drinks?! Awesome, it's canon for me :D

- It was really interesting to see Jack so panicky about Martha getting out. RTD did wonderfully, subtly and blatantly, showing what the loss of Tosh and Owen did to the team.

- The Daleks and Davros were awesome. I've typed myself out, sorry.

HOLY FRICK, I can't believe I was able to go on like that. And YES you guys, I'm excited for the finale!

Funny little human brains...How do you get around in those things?

2008-06-29T01:15:39Z

So, heard from my sister, Natalie, this morning that her and her friend, Malyn, were in a car accident last night. Completely totaled Malyn's car. They're relatively okay, my sister's collarbone is...fractured I believe, and her friend broke her left wrist. Really weird to hear about that.

Thinking on better thoughts now, I'm probably just going to skip the Doctor Who episode "Midnight" and just go with "Turn Left" and the newest one. That sound good?

I've already read a ton of reviews for each episode (I'm so bad!), but I'm completely and utterly interested in the watching the one that just aired, now.

(I'm sorry, I just feel like the title of the episode is a spoiler, so I'll hold off on using it.)

I had something else on my mind to say, but I don't remember!

meganlynn09 @ 2008-06-24T23:12:00

2008-06-25T03:14:37Z

I wanted to wish a very very happy birthday to lunarknightz, hope it was a great one!

Now don't antagonise her. I love a happy medium!

2008-06-24T00:56:09Z

Okay, so last night, I started up the process of catching up on Doctor Who again.

It kept my attention and it went by fast, so I enjoyed it :D

Sorry, but I still like River Song. I felt quite sad for her when she gave herself up instead of the Doctor, and even though she gave "selfish" reasons for it, really, it's for the best because the Doctor is needed. It must have been terrible to die as her heart broke knowing that the Doctor would know the entire time they knew each other when, where and how she would die. And he couldn't/didn't do a thing about it (technically).

And DONNA, oh our poor Donna. She remembers her time trapped in whatever that was(it was late at night!), so is it confusing a bit? Does she remember the feeling of loving her "husband" and "children"? I'm curious for a follow-up to what's going on in her head as to what she remembers and what she feels. Quite heartbreaking to see that Lee was indeed very real.

I have a strong feeling we'll never hear of a Lee again nor will we see River again.

I was quite sad about Anita, although it was obvious she'd be gone by the end as soon as the Doctor darkened her helmet.

I didn't like at all what they did with Miss Evangelista, didn't understand SM's point with that (well, I got the overall feeling, just didn't understand the reasoning).

I'm not really sure how I feel about the ending. River telling the story to the kids struck me as odd, and the white clothing, just plain weird. I admit to liking the team being back together, but that's the only good feelings I took from that.

Not much really to say about it, I guess. *shrugs* I'll probably watch "Midnight"...tomorrow or Wednesday. I'm still trying to decide if I'll watch "Turn Left" soon after or if I'll just want until the final episodes play out.

Probably the latter, sadly.

meganlynn09 @ 2008-06-19T22:15:00

2008-06-20T02:16:55Z

I'm so so sorry it's this late, but

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, M'DEAR yourfavoritesky!

Hope it was wonderful. *hugs*

I'M BORED

2008-06-17T01:19:32Z

So effing bored. Some thoughts:

- Took my dad to see Indiana Jones for Father's Day. Um...I rate it higher than "Temple of Doom" and that's all I got.

- My mom loved Shia LaBeouf. I just kept thinking of Even Stevens.

- My mom was watching one of those entertainment programs, and they brought up "Secret Diary of a Call Girl", which was pretty awesome. Still need to watch that. Also, people, tell me, is Billie really pregnant or is this one of those she's married now, so we're gonna hear she's pregnant for the next two years?

- Awww, my dad has a crush on Martha/Freema Agyeman.

- I truly, truly, truly hate Florida in the summertime.

- I give up, I'm watching the two, no, THREE, episodes I haven't watched of Doctor Who. I'll let y'all know what I think when I catch up. BECAUSE I KNOW YOU ALL ARE SO WAITING FOR MY OPINIONS! :D

- *sigh* I'm getting the crap kicked out of me by THREE FUCKING FANDOMS. Tell me, point in the direction of a show that's not full of all this?! No, forget it, I'm going back to watch my Wonderfalls DVDs over again. And taking a page from Jaye Tyler's attitude book: BITE ME (aimed at the fandoms, m'dears).

SOooo, bitter. Okay. I'm just gonna find some happy making stuff.

meganlynn09 @ 2008-06-14T21:13:00

2008-06-15T01:20:16Z

OMG, I had to do a new post because I looked it up to see how many posts I've made and it said 666, and that's not cool!

DUDE, a little freaked out by that to tell you the truth, heh.

And....I've no idea what to post.

Oh, I caught most of Doctor Who's "The Unicorn and the Wasp" and it wasn't bad, cute and stuff. And I saw a commercial for the DVDs for S1-S3 and OMG, I need to go and watch "The Unquiet Dead" or something because I suddenly missed S1 something fierce.

And that's all.

Header

2008-06-13T01:10:56Z

YES, OMG, I CHANGED IT AGAIN. So, if you're not tired of doing it, heh, check out my header.

meganlynn09

I got good vibes out of nowhere today, thinking that it might actually be kinda cool to have all the companions together at the end of the season here, and I thought, what would make it better?

NINE. So, sorry Ten, you're just not my Doctor.

I also changed my default icon to one with text because it was just TOO DAMN BLANK and I love the song lyrics I used, even if I'm not sure they make sense on the icon, heh.

You can't have six cards! You can't have six cards in a five-card game!

2008-06-12T19:57:37Z

*points to icon* Yeah, a Doctor Who hiatus for myself does NOT include icons :D Or, apparently, fic, as I think I've written, like, three.

Yeah, all Martha. One of those may or may not include Rose. That's a weird one I think.

Um...random stuff...

- Our cable box was replaced today and the cable guy mentioned he was gonna be rented a place that's technically illegal for him to live in.

- Yay for Florida summers. Thunderstorms every afternoon.

- I, almost desperately, want to go on an Alaskan cruise.

- Does anyone else watch Robot Chicken? Am I crazy for loving it? :D

Okay, thunder is making me paranoid that the power's going to go out, so I'll wrap this up.

Doctor Who

2008-06-02T18:29:12Z

Hey! I just watched "Silence in the Library".

My thoughts are under the cut, not very many, sorry. Although, a little longer than I expected.

Was I watching the same episode everyone else was? I, um, see no reason as to why River Song was so annoying as so many found her. Is it that I'm used to Alex Kingston's acting? I saw nothing sinister in how she acted or found her really annoying either.

I mean, after she really found out the Doctor didn't know her yet, she did seem to have problems keeping some comments to herself, but I felt that was real. I mean, you meet someone that you know, but doesn't know you, it's going to be hard to censor yourself, it's natural.

Although, her "I'm not just anyone" line was...a little awkward, and I didn't care for it, I thought everything else was handled really well.

I did like the scene where she was trying to figure out where in her timeline the Doctor's coming from (and I found it hilarious that she thought the Doctor was pretending, didn't seem like it was the first time he did that with her) and then finding out that it's not really her Doctor.

And why was the Doctor so perplexed? In all his 900+ years, he never ran into someone who knew him but he didn't know them?

And why was Donna so snippy with her? OH, is that why so many find River annoying? Because Donna inexplicably does? I mean, seriously you guys, I was expecting to go into this episode and coming out just not liking River, no matter it was Alex Kingston.

So...what episode did everyone else watch that they hope River Song dies?

Okay, no, I didn't see a lot of that, and yet I DID see some comments that said that and now I'm utterly confused.

Anyway, I'm confused on other comments I saw as well, Donna did not seemed pushed to the side at all. In fact, unlike other Moffat's episodes, I feel this was the most involved a companion has ever been in one of his stories.

Anyway, I have some thoughts in my head as to how this could all turn out, but I'm not sharing, they're too messed up and I can't really put them down. I hope the conclusion is more...something than that trailer suggested, heh.

I liked it quite a lot, in case I didn't make that clear. I think Moffat did really well with all the characters he's introducing, I didn't feel scared, but the last 10 or so minutes had wonderful tension to them, but I don't know who to credit, the writer or the director?

Sorry, there's too many thoughts in my head after that episode.

Can't wait for next week :D

Um...whoever is putting together the trailers for previews of the next episodes, dude, you're not doing a very good job. This is the second or third time this season I'm left praying that the episode turns out better than the preview suggests.

Since I got my S3 DVDs the other day, I've been enjoying a nice re-watch and I just finished the first disc.

Man, I forgot how hilarious this season was.

- I really love how Oscar deals with Michael. I think he deals with him well, and not just in "Gay Witch Hunt" (which, how he's able to deal with him as calmly as he does, I don't know, even after he blows up at Michael).
- I enjoy the Stamford stories. Call me weird, whatever, I enjoyed them.
- I love Karen. THERE, I SAID IT. CANCEL MY JIM/PAM MEMBERSHIP CARD, I DON'T CARE.

Ahem. Sorry. But no, really, I enjoy her and her early interactions with Jim. I have the same feelings I did when I first watched this season.
- And then I watch the end of "Initiation" and I want my Jim/Pam membership card back because LOVE. Seriously, how much fun they have talking about nothing and seeing how much they obviously miss each other.
- I love that part in "Initiation" when they're in the fields and Dwight's like "Oh, I'm gonna run to my car and grab this thing ~~and drive away~~" and Ryan glances at him and is like "Sure, okay, I'm oblivious" and goes back to patting the dirt like a little kid and it's so cute!
- I wish they let Chip Esten be more funny as Josh. I love him when he's on Whose Line is it Anyway?, he's fun on that show.
- B.J. is really great as Ryan, I don't know why I never noticed that before. He's a great actor and a great writer.
- Jim is a sleepy drunk. Heh, I find that funny. And then Pam's a happy/hyper drunk.
- Angela is FANTASTIC.
- I totally see why people love Kelly/Ryan. It's really fun to see Ryan all exasperated by her and then you see the moments he likes her.
- OH JIM. OH PAM. OH ROY. The angst, I eat it up. Yeah, I loves it :D

And hey, I am also screencapping the episodes as I go, and I have the first couple episodes up here and it'll be updated in a couple minutes with two more episodes. And then I'll start on the second disc later.

Hmm...I was a bit hasty with my post last night. 'Cause...I GOT MY OFFICE DVDs!

Yay. :D

I'm so annoying impatient, heh.

Of course by saying that, she was gambling that I wouldn't smack her.

I WANT MY DAMN DVDs ALREADY. I'm bored and I want something to watch. And apparently the two episodes of Doctor Who I haven't watched aren't good enough.

Although, I'm totally looking forward to this coming Saturday's episode of DW. No, not because of those freakin' spoilers. Although, they're interesting.

But because ~~Elizabeth Corday~~ Alex Kingston is gonna be on! I adore her, she was great her first couple years on ER, can't wait to see what sort of character she is on DW.

I saw the new trailer for the rest of this series.

Quick reaction: Eh.

Longer one:
I've pretty much nearly lost almost my entire interest in this series back around the Christmas special (which I hadn't watched and still haven't). It then took me a week to watch "Partners in Crime", a couple days to watch "The Fires of Pompeii", I was well on time with the following episodes (YES, I'm a fucking hypocrite and I don't mind admitting that I couldn't watch Martha's episodes fast enough) and I still haven't sat down and watched "Planet of the Ood" or "The Unicorn and the Wasp".

The spoilery part of this:

I just can't seem to get invested in this season which fucking sucks because Donna rocks and Martha's showing up and Rose looks interesting and I really want to see what the hell's going on there.

But I watched this trailer and just did not care. It didn't interest me any more than I already was and I couldn't really make sense of a lot of it.

And it peeved me a bit that Rose seemed to be the entire trailer. This is Donna's one and only season. I'd like the spotlight to be on her, thanks.

Honestly, if I can't get more interested in this, after the finale, I'm done. I can't stick around with a show that doesn't make me care anymore.

*sighs* It's probably just a bad reaction to a mediocre day, I'm hoping that RTD pulls something great out of his ass so that I'll stay around to see what Moffat does with the show.

Dwight, you ignorant slut!

YAY, I just ordered The Office S3 DVDs.

I'm probably one of the few people that started on the show with that season. And thank God I did, as it kept my mind open and I didn't loathe Karen just because she dare come between Jim and Pam.

And I love Jim/Pam. And who can't love S3!Pam?! You feel so proud of her at the end of the season!

And ALRIGHT, I like angst. Sue me. Actually, having watched the show along with Battlestar Galactica last year, TO was fluff. And I liked the Roy/Pam/Jim/Karen thing.

I loved much of S3, and it'll probably always have a special place with me. So YAY, I'll be re-watching that, and finally (hopefully) watching Dexter, and OMG, I think I may just watch How I Met Your Mother because geez, seeing people all over that show makes me want to check it out.

Random:
Someone needs to break me out of this "I love characters that love guys that don't deserve it/return it."

Is there some scientific way to find out if something is pudding without actually tasting it?

You know what? The first few years of Malcolm in the Middle were awesome and hilarious. Francis at boot camp was just...so funny and Hal and Lois are just perfect. It's one of those sitcoms that's overlooked, I think.

Kind of like how King of the Hill is overlooked because it's aired with The Simpsons and Family Guy, but it's just as good, and in ways so much better, than both.

Although, someone's watching it as it's been on, what, 13 years?

Yeah.

That's all. I was just watching an episode on TV and it always cracks me up.

And..........yes, I haven't done it in forever, but I have a new icon post over at inconceivable_m. It includes my first UK Office icons. I really need to acquire those episodes to watch over again.
