icepixie: (Five/Tegan safe)

Well, I just saw [livejournal.com profile] rowdycamels off home. :(

We had a good time, though. Did a bit of walking at Radnor Lake. Then we came back and watched a lot of TV. I have thoroughly introduced her to Northern Exposure, I think. We watched...ten episodes? Ish? In twenty-four hours? We took a tour through some of the more dysfunctional episodes of seasons three, four, and five. Plus there was Blackpool horror. I'm scarred for life now.

We also watched the DW Christmas special.

That was...truly bad. Someone needs to take the Who out of Rusty's hands, stat. He...recycled large parts of TCI...and made his main character angst over his Mary Sue...and had a really ridiculous scenery-chewing spider queen villain. (I suppose I shouldn't judge this spider queen, since I thought "Planet of the Spiders" was great. But somehow that spider queen was just...better.) Not to mention truly awful science everywhere you look.

I did like Donna, though. She wasn't a yes-woman. She kind of reminded me of Tegan, actually. Maybe Tegan mixed with Sarah Jane. And she was smart enough to not come with the Doctor.

Still, the whole episode...it was bad enough to make me wonder if they were intentionally self-parodying, but I'm afraid they were entirely serious. And that makes me sad. It was like it was written by an ADHD seven-year-old. On crack. With unlimited CGI.

Ugh.
