50th anniversary

Giving a minute of silence for the hope of any Doctor but Ten being back for the 50th anniversary special.
This is not supposed to be a fanfest. Absolutely not. Which is why Ten/Rose will be the only ones returning.
The team's choices are the team's choices, like it or not. Were the false hopes necessary though, I wonder.

That's Martha? o.O The face she's making doesn't look Martha-ish… Is it just me? o.O
I don't want to know… XD. I'd love it if Martha came back, too, mind. Even with Martha/Mickey. But… yeah, I'm just not thinking about this. Watching the eps as they come and that's it.

It was clearer in a different pic. I only realized once I read the captions. Especially Mickey. He looks so much older.
But yeah, I'm busy enough worrying over OUAT :P
We'll see how it goes.
Although I'm slightly excited about the new ep. The actress playing the old lady... she's on Game of Thrones too and within three episodes she became one of my favorite characters. She was already hilarious on page but the way the lines are delivered just kills me <3

Indeed! Well, maybe it'd show he's matured and be interesting? =P I don't know… I'm not sure what to think. Not buying anything until it's not 100% official… And even then.

Lacey? ;P

We'll see how it goes.
This will be my mantra.

Sweet! ;) I'm not too convinced by Clara's hair? XD But that's a detail, lolllll. Happy about Jenny/Vastra time, though I know you care nothing about them ;)

He looks fatter, too, if I can just say that :P
But yes, we'll see.

Yeah, Lacey. Everything about her. It took Gold almost two seasons to get to "I'll be a better man to get my son and Belle back". It took him two episodes to throw it all away and start yelling in annoyance at the son who he looked for for a few centuries and reveling in Lacey's bad influence. I just can not :S

Clara's hair is the least of my DW concerns ;) But this comes from someone who got upset that servant!Belle had a different hair color in Lacey than in Skin Deep (while it's supposed to take place almost simultaneously) and that she had her hair down in Lacey. (And that Rumple got fat, if we're talking continuity anyway :P)

XD does he? I hadn't paid attention.

=P ow. Well, his falling back hard and fast into the darkness could make sense. But indeed, if he's turning against the son and relishing Lacey's attitude, though she is the CONTRARY of Belle… That does sound bad.

Not the first of mine either! XD Not that shallow… But I don't know, it kinda struck me.

This is continuity. Hush.

Join the club! We should get them T-shirts. You've got a merciless eye, girl… Who else? Depp? ;)

I barely recognized him at first; he looks a bit bloated imo :)

The darkness makes sense, in a way, but the writers - and the audience - have invested so much in his redemption arc... and now it's just gone. It's frustrating. At this point, it's not good story telling anymore, just badly thought through quasi drama for the sake of it (and why does /that/ sounds familiar? :P)

I haven't paid all that much attention to actually notice, to be honest :O Is it different each ep?

Discontinuity and, in a sense, historical inaccuracy. I can't help but think that whores were the only kind of women who wore their hair down in the medieval time period that FTL is loosely based on. Maybe that's the way of the writers to ~imply something about the level of consummation of the Rumbelle relationship? ;)

Merciless, that's me ;) And yes, Depp too (fat, that is, not merciless :P (Althoug, ditching Vanessa for Amber Heart...)) :P Although he looked better in some very recent pics. I didn't think I'd ever say it, but short hair looks much better on him these days :O

*Shallow girl = shallow* :P

LOL. No regrets ;) A bit of bitchin' can't hurt much.

*sighs* I'm sorry, dear. It sucks to have a favourite character wrecked in such a cheap way =/

LOL, not every ep! Tiny changes. This time it's just the Victorian style, but I was like "why the weird little curls?". I don't know, they probably wanted something that looked special and it was the easiest way to do it since her hair would otherwise be up and mostly-hidden, but I'm not too fond of the result.

o.O great point actually. And LOL, now that sounds a bit far-fetched! One more argument for the Tumblr girls though, I guess =P

(Althoug, ditching Vanessa for Amber Heart...)) :P
New state of mind: Vanessa can do better!

I paid attention to Clara's hair yesterday and this time I did notice ;)

Now I'm thinking the prostitute hairdo was from the 19th century, cause I remember a fic being flamed once in which Mrs. Lovett had her hair down in public (and she wasn't a prostitute in that fic :P) Ah well, it could have been the same in medieval times, who even knows :P *thoughtful*

XD I make you pay attention to Clara's hair! Achievements!
Ah, you might be right. I tried to Google it, but didn't find anything much… And I should rather keep the research strictly work-oriented right now, and can't be arsed to do more later ;) (Sundays, I love thee!)

[identity profile] angel1605.livejournal.com 2013-05-05 01:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, indeed, it's not something to spend an awful lot of time on ;)
But think about it, how often do you see women with their hair down outside their bedroom? Never, for as far as I can tell! And Belle goes strutting to the woods like that, with Rumple at her side (Maybe /that's/ why the evil Sheriff from the Robin Hood stories wanted to 'buy' her from Rumple :O :P)

Good point! Can't really think of an example.
Plot fail ;)

I should have added "in period dramas" in the first sentence of my previous message. Another fail. I think the sun melted my brain :P

[identity profile] flowsoffire.livejournal.com 2013-05-05 01:46 pm (UTC)(link)
It was understandable in the context ;)

Yay! :P
(Most useless post ever... ah well, Sunday and all that... :P)

*giggles* That's the lovely point when the comment convo is dying, but we still idly reply!

[identity profile] angel1605.livejournal.com 2013-05-05 02:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed.
I guess I should stop doing so, but it's sort of fun :P

[identity profile] flowsoffire.livejournal.com 2013-05-05 02:01 pm (UTC)(link)
XD commenting in-between two translated sentences… Guess I should stop first?
Quitting at three?

Hijacking the comment because I couldn't resist and that's literally the first thing that came to my mind seeing the photos :

That posted, if it means the episode will have half the zing, pace and sexiness and chemistry between the leads, I have no problem with the hair...

*guffaws* YES! ;)
