It was my LJ's birthday today. It's seven. Seven! And for those of you I have known all that time, it has been a joy.

I am pleased to report that the chard is looking happier, but I fear the cosmos is dying. Not the cosmos, as such. ;)

I've not seen this weekend's Doctor Who yet, which is probably just as well, because I still have Ashes

Happy LJ-versary!

Unfortunately, I missed the last episode, and living on the Continent means no iPlayer for me...but I feel I've caught up sufficiently on it through your post that I won't go 'huh?' next week; so thanks for that.

Thank you!

Oh, I'm sorry you missed the episode. My version of events is very one-note. :) There was actually plot as well, and everything!

Happy LJ anniversary.

Loads of wonderful points about "Ashes to Ashes". I've really been enjoying this season and though I wouldn't say I'm a Gene/Alex shipper I'm finding their relationship absolutely fascinating.

looking very Wizard of Oz, what with the farmhouse and the scarecrow and Alex in the ruby slippers again, and Chris has already told us he's a lion (a dead one - "better than a live rat" - interestingly enough)

Oh, I hadn't thought of that parallel. How interesting. I think a broken heart is probably inevitable but I'm prepared to deal with that in order to get a good series ending :)

(Whoops! I must have leaned on the "post comment" button. Sorry!)

Thank you!

I've really been enjoying this season and though I wouldn't say I'm a Gene/Alex shipper I'm finding their relationship absolutely fascinating.

I've enjoyed their dynamic immensely, and never particularly needed it to move forwards in a shippy direction - I don't know where there'd go once they got there. But between the show ending, and Friday's ridiculously fanfic-esque developments, I am finding myself drawn irresistably down that route. :)

Oh, I hadn't thought of that parallel. How interesting.

It's something I saw mentioned in the Radio Times preview at the start of the season, mostly in relation to Alex wanting to get home. It's one of those things that the more you think about it, the more references you see, but I don't think it's the whole story by any means.

I think a broken heart is probably inevitable but I'm prepared to deal with that in order to get a good series ending.Yes, I agree. And really, I don't think there is any ending that

Happy LJ-versary!!! I can safely say that LJ wouldn't be the same without you. :)

Also, in non-spoilery DW news, I can reveal that your prayers have been heard, and the Moff is wearing a blue shirt on the Confidential!

Love,
Elisi

Thank you! And back at you. :)

YES! YES!! You have no idea how much joy this has brought me. I can't wait to see it now.

*laughs* Also I have the perfect icon! :)

(The episode is - imho - excellent, btw, and made me cry...)

You write beautifully about the show, and the N&S analogy makes perfect sense. I haven't thought about it before, but the similarities to Margaret and Thornton's relationship (which I adored) are certainly there. I've always liked the idea of Alex/Gene, but it wasn't until it neared the end that I realised just how much I actually wanted to see it.

I've loved Alex from day one, loved her off-the-wall rampage through a world she didn't believe in, loved watching her come not just to accept it, but to own it. Completely agree :-)

Thank you so much!

Yes! That sums up how I feel exactly.
