Good Lord. That Torchwood episode was actually almost good. I'd given up hope of that even being possible. As to "Human Nature"... well, I can't say the same, but at least I can attribute it pretty firmly to personal quirks. I.e. Ten + amnesia + colonialism = less than happy.

I've had an essay deadline pushed back a couple of weeks, which means, knowing me, I will probably give in to the terrible temptation to procrastinate. On that, anyway. I've already finished one class's readings for the semester, because I really, really hate that book ( Read more... )

*whew* My week is fairly stuffed with schoolwork alone, not to mention any fic-work I'm trying to get done on the side... Next week, besides trying to get up on other schoolwork while I can, I have a ten-page research paper I need to look into (top of my list: what the topic is), so, for practical purposes, how much I will exist in the coming days ( Read more... )

'Kay, think I can cope with the memories now. "Evolution of the Daleks" first. And I know most people like Ten, but just imagine what this ep would be like if you didn't. How many times is he not only in mortal peril, but actively begging the Daleks to shoot him? It's as frustrating as it is fun...

For once, I actually have plenty of things to post. Couple fic links, reaction to the last couple episodes... but for now I think I'll just post a few more angsty TW drabbles, because I ain't mentally prepared to review *those* episodes yet. The Daleks were a cakewalk (though they kept *not killing him*, the useless bastards) compared to the TW ( Read more... )

I recognise that there are a great many character-bashing fangirls in the DW fandom; therefore, I generally try to keep my opinion on this issue quiet. But this is my journal; and after reading some of the reactions to "Meat", I have to say it somewhere. It will be under a cut, though ( Read more... )

"Gridlock" comments. Why, even so late? Possibly just to use this cut-tag, because if I told you how long I'd planned it, you would laugh.

I do have other things I could be doing. Unfortunately, it's a vaguely defined paper about my gender socialization process, so, since I have no idea how to approach it except as a reminisence, I can't exactly resist the urge to take a break. On the first two episodes of S3 of Doctor Who, and the first of S2 of Torchwood:

I fail at posting... I have a tendency to leave something half-written for a week before finally putting it up. So instead of talking about what I saw last week, my pointless ramblings are now on "The Shakespeare Code". And whatever that episode of Torchwood was called. I'm not that great with names.

( Was it SNL, with the 'Lowered Expectations' skit...? )

Still don't know quite why. So:

Jack, after the ridiculous Cottingley Fairies episode: ( keep believing that )
