La-di-dah

Meep. So, I watched "Father's Day" on Wednesday. It's going on my "don't watch again for a long time" list, because ow. I don't think anyone's puppy escaped a big ol' smooshing there. I haven't seen such smooshing since...probably since the finale to Season 1 Farscape first aired, and those of you who remember the fool I made of myself over that one should understand how smooshy this is. I need to...go think happy thoughts. Puppies and kittens and that sort of things. Non-smooshy puppies.

Chandra, you are not allowed to watch this episode. At least, not without three boxes of Kleenex, you aren't.

(And the irritating--or possibly amazing--thing is that they didn't cover up any of their tracks; you can see exactly how it's constructed to make you cry, which tends to put me off things like that, and yet you still do anyway, whether because of the acting or writing or what.)

The only thing that was a bit strange was the whole paternal aspect to the Doctor's relationship with Rose that this brought up, to which the shipper part of my brain is going LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU. But anyway.

I ended up watching both "The Empty Child" and "The Doctor Dances" yesterday afternoon. I thought I'd be able to just watch the first one, but...Ha. Yeah, right. That said, I'm not as enamoured of Captain Jack as everyone else apparently is. He's just kind of...eh. *shrug* I did like the dancing, though!

Anyway, now that I wasted Thursday, I have to make up for it today by doing lots and lots of work...

ne, someone in canada has been putting up torrents for the olympic highlights. I've been downloading and snipping the skating bits..do you want all the skating or just ice dancing?

Oh, wow. Anything you want to give me is fabulous. Thanks!

I watched most of the first season of new Who last semester, and re: "Father's Day"--uh, yeah. I mean, I am a little Pavlovian in the way I respond to Special Paternal Episodes anyway, but it was nicely done.

Ohhh, yeah. I'd heard a lot about it online, and I went into it thinking it couldn't possibly live up to the hype, or at any rate that it wouldn't have that kind of effect on me since I knew the ending, but...yeah. There was Kleenex.
