icepixieI highly doubt that laughter is really the effect cliffhangers are supposed to have one one, but it's definitely my reaction more often than not to Old Skool Who episodes. Particularly The Horns of Nimon, which I'm through part three on.
I...dude. The end of part two? Where the Nimon goes everywhere with his arms held out for balance because he's tottering around on platform shoes of at least six inches, possibly more? And he has a papier-mache head with plastic horns that were obviously purchased from Pound-Stretcher or something stuck to it and is wearing, I believe, black pantyhose on his arms and a gold lame loincloth? And then he shoots lasers from his horns? COMEDY. GOLD.
Romana is totally acting like a field trip leader in this one. It's cute.
...I am not writing the plotbunny that just hopped into my head.
Not doing it, I tell you.
*gags Muse*
Ahem. Why do so many people seem to dislike this one? It's FABULOUS. Even the kids with speaking roles are funny, and you all know how much I loathe children.
Oof. I want to watch one of the tapes![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nickless sent me, but I think I'm about to fall asleep in my chair, so it'll have to wait until tomorrow. Bah, sleep.
But first I'll paste this thing I meant to put on the bottom of my last entry:
One of those type-in-lines-from-the-closest-book memes. This one is page 123, the three sentences after the fifth sentence. As I have two books equidistant from each other and me, you get two.
To the Lighthouse, by Virginia Woolf
"No, she said, flattening the stocking out upon her knee, "I shan't finish it."
And what then? For she felt that he was still looking at her, but that his look had changed. He wanted something--wanted the thing she always found it so difficult to give him; wanted her to tell him that she loved him.
And The Journal of Beatrix Potter, 1881-1897
He [Millais] looked at the pictures from Palace Gardens whcih are up since he has been last. He admired the Turner exceedingly, and said it was most wonderful, and at his best period. The Hunt's too; he said of the hawthorn, you come, put your hand into it, and how naturally the primrose grew.
And yes, these were the two closest books. Hi, I'm in college-withdrawal.
