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:

Title: Maybe we can live like the wild ones
Author: flowsoffire
Fandom: Doctor Who
Pairing/characters: Rose, Ten, mentions of Nine
Genre: Romance
Rating: K+
Word count: c. 300
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
Summary: His face, his voice, his mannerisms are all brand new. Hint after hint, Rose explores and peels back the layers with all of her awareness, discovers him all over again. Keeps him—makes him—hers. Hands cling to hands, and they run on.
Author's note: S2!Rose this time, though I'm a lot less fond of her during that season. But she's a girl of passion, and passion is always fun to explore. So here we go, little exploring piece—for the Nine-to-Ten transition, and Ten/Rose. Title comes from the song Wild ones by Charlie Winston—really great fit, for the piece and for the ship (actually, for any companion/Doctor relationship I suppose). Enjoy!
