Popping by to pimp the amazing fic Moon River by avarill and taiamu. I've been enjoying the daylights out of it for the past few days, the River and Doctor characterization really is outstanding—great writing and insight, a very catchy plot that seems ever so promising and just a bit of sexytimes by the end. Their interpretation of how Eleven would be around his first time with River is so similar to mine I was bouncing on my seat the whole time. And it's my babies and it's a smashing fic. Everyone should read if you can spare the time—a rather short prologue and four solid-length chapter thus far, but it's really worth stopping by, believe me!

Thiiiiiiis is a preview clip from the special THE ACTUAL SPECIAL YES! Don't watch if you don't want to be spoiled! I kind of watched first and thought later, but no regrets :D

( Video under the cut! )

Teehee! *dances*

I'll have the honours of this one. ^_^

(Cheers to elisi and honeynoir for the other lovely sharing!)

Watched The Massacre this week! It was enjoyable, though we didn't see One enough for my tastes. I was mostly delighted by the atmosphere at first, reminded me a little of Reign of Terror—my, they did love France! Steven didn't exceedingly interest me, but Anne was quite sweet. ONE HAD A TOP HAT AT SOME POINT! And he was crafty and handed Steven some money, although it wasn't very neat for change, lol.

I've got a message

*points and screeches and points and screeches and points* THIS IS IT. MESSAGE BY SYNTAX. I'd requested that in Eleventyfest and the person I got assigned to chose that prompt and I KNEW IT WOULD BE PERFECT BUT THIS IS BEYOND PERFECTION THIS IS *GODLY* AND EVERY DETAIL IS *GODLY* AND I CAN'T. All the River feels and all the Clara feels and Eleven and darkness and hope and memories and it has Nine and Ten and Donna at the end and HGSXGSKSCDZ how did this happen how did this vid become something *real*. I had such a vivid picture of what it could be like and it is entirely that and entirely different and unique and I am going to freaking worship that anon.

I. am. dead.

Oh god, this is it—I'm done with s2! *flails* And quite sad too, because this was my last real episode with Vicki, there's just one part left in s3 now—all the rest is missing. Won't even see her departure, poor dear! Oh well, that's life—there are always the recons but I've never had the patience with those…

That's my first time watching eight episodes in two days, definitely and oh dear. ( Read more... )

Finished watching The Web Planet, and I have to say that is the episode I liked least in s2 thus far… I think that most of it has to do with the aliens—I found them all thoroughly ridiculous, except maybe the creepy spider voice, which was… well, creepy. And the team TARDIS was all separated—Vicki and the Doctor had nice moments (because of COURSE those two were together…), but Ian + aliens and Barbara + aliens didn't really allow for lots of nice character moments, at least in my opinion. Oh well! Things I did like—the Doctor's ring coming to an use, that was interesting. The character moments at the beginning, with Ian and Barbara spontaneously being protective of Vicki. The interaction between Barbara and Vicki was quite nice, and yes a bit annoying at times because it's quite obvious that Vicki doesn't really trust Barbara as much as she trusts the Doctor, and there is no reason for that—she seems almost unpleasant sometimes, quite dismissive. I'm intrigued by the girl's backstory, and wonder whether we'll find out more about her…
Other remark—the TARDIS seriously spends SO MUCH TIME being overpowered, sent away or generally useless for a supposedly brilliant ship. Plot reasons ftw!

Lines that stuck to memory:

"I wished we’d materialised in some really luxurious place, you know. Lots of lovely things to buy and eat and wear." -Vicki being Little Miss Shallow.

IAN: I hope my pants stay up.
DOCTOR: Yes, well that’s your affair, not mine.

and also Vicki taking a liking for one of the ants once they could control it. Wtf, girl!

Just finished watching the ep! A few comments thrown while I'm at it:
