Romana! And a fic snippet thing.
Jul. 2nd, 2006 06:55 pmI got "The Pirate Planet" out of the library. OMG, love. There's a super-spiffy sci-fi concept (a planet eating--well, mining--other planets! Love!) and Romana, who I am coming to adore. Snarkiness! She's totally rolling her eyes at both the Doctor and her captors with every other action they take and word they utter. Hee. I think I like her because she's what Charley would be if she weren't human--she's snarky and totally unimpressed by the Doctor, although she likes him, but she also knows quite a bit of technical stuff, more than the Doctor, and is less prone to hysterics (that last one may be a personality thing rather than a Gallifreyan thing). She's like the lovechild of Charley and Hermione. *g*
Of course, being a library DVD, it's been mistreated over the years and won't play me episodes three and four. Le sigh. Ah, well, that's what Netflix is for! After they send me "Ark in Space," anyway. Like they DIDN'T a few days ago--it was the right sleeve, but had disc one of "Genesis of the Daleks" in it. Pffft. Silly Netflix.
Anyway. I was noticing how Mary Tamm, with her long, sorta-curly dark hair, very very very very very slightly resembles Judy Garland-as-Dorothy. Not a lot, but enough to ping at my brain. (Granted, my brain is a very strange place, and possibly no one but me sees any resemblance.) And then K9 entered the shot, and the plot bunny bit and wouldn't let go. So, despite not being a Wizard of Oz fan in the slightest, and never having seen the film all the way through (I know, I'm un-American), I give you ( these 309 words of silliness. )
