icepixieFandom Addiction Fairy strikes again!
Or at least the justwatchoneepisodecomeonyouknowyouwanna Elf, or something like that. Mwahahaha. *sprinkles Doctor Who throughout the land*
Also, tell me someone has done a Doctor/Rose vid to "I Wanna Hold Your Hand." It's so obvious. Someone's done it. Right?
BTW, since I have no self-control and can't wait until I get episodes 4 and 5 to keep going in order, I went ahead and watched "Dalek."
- OMG! Goddard is Osiris! Haaaaahahahahahaha! That was bugging me all through the episode until I finally looked her up on IMDB. Ha! Still amused.
- THIS SHOW IS SO SHIPPY, OMG. *cuddles shipper!dalek* *cuddles Doctor/Rose*
- Speaking of Daleks...dude. It's a salt shaker. With a plunger. And an eggbeater. Wow, they really did have a shoestring budget way back when, didn't they?
- Did I mention that this show is more shippy than any show has a right to be? Is it a nationality thing? I shoulda watched more television when I was over in Britain...
- All Van-Whosis's goons attempting American accents and not quite succeeding (or even coming close, in a few cases) were funny. Even Osiris. I imagine Americans attempting various British/Irish/Aussie/etc. accents are just as amusing.
- Speaking of accents, I'm starting to be able to pick out the Welsh accent(s) all the lesser guest stars/extras with one line have. Is Cardiff the European equivalent of Vancouver?
In addition to all that, I finally watched my tape of Atlantis and BSG. Couldn't watch it last night 'cause every TV everywhere was tuned to the Olympic opening ceremonies, and I couldn't find where people were watching Sci-Fi. Sigh. Anyway:
Atlantis
- Eeeeeeee! I'd spoiled myself silly for this one, and it was as good as expected.
- I imagine there have already been lots of vids with that kiss in it, haven't there...hmmm...
- Gun-totin' Lizzie was faaaaaaabulous. Much love.
- Eh, Sheyla. *shrug*
- Deus Ex McKay!
- Ha! That little cringe on the biobed (or whwatever) was great.
BSG
- Oh my God, they killed Billy! Nooooooo! Billy was so sweet and innocent and stupid and in love and oh, Billy... There were tears. There was a lot of "Aaaahhh!" noise.
- And Dee! You fool! I refuse to believe that Dee and Lee is happening, mostly because I can't stand the thought of those rhyming names. Also, Billy had to die right after he found out his girlfriend was cheating on him. Wow, that sucks.
- And wow, I'm glad I don't 'ship Lee/Kara very hard, or otherwise I might have thrown things at the TV during that last bit. Oy.
- So. Sucky day for EVERYONE. Oof.

Believe it or not, I did actually manage to get some reading and some work on my comps done today as well. Unless someone at our editing party tomorrow tells me to revise more, all I have left to do is make a table of contents and I'm all done. Woot! Although tomorrow and Monday I do have lots of reading to catch up on, and my proposal and annotated biblio. is due on Thursday, and I'll probably have to turn in 10 or 20 pages for Fiction a week from Tuesday...

Date: 2006-02-13 04:41 am (UTC)This one, for "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" by Oasis (awesome song, gorgeous vid): http://www.alter-idem.com/?now=2&category=Doctor%20Who
(I think I might even have sent you a vid or two from the same vidder before, actually...she's got some great Firefly and Farscape ones as well. And a BSG I haven't checked out yet.)
And one called "The Doctor's Mad Christmas", to the "Mad Russian's Christmas" by Trans-Siberian Orchestra. *Insanely* good...plays as a rush through the first season, leading into the Christmas invasion. Unfortunetly a friend sent it to me directly, so I can't find a link online. :?( I might have to burn it to a disc and send it to you!
I'd also be very curious if you've got any WhoVid links to share. :?)
Yeah...you're right about the lack of innocence on BSG. Even Cally isn't really. There are plenty of idealists and white knights, of course, but that's not the same. Might be a statement they're making, of course, about what happens to innocence in this kind of world...but if so, that'd be a little clumsy to me...I'd rather see how the innocence struggles to survive and compromise.

Ooooh.
Cally is definitely not an innocent anymore after shooting Boomer. I wonder if they'll introduce another innocent...or maybe that's the baby's role. Hmmm.
