beccaelizabethKinda: kinda weird
with a Really Big Snake!
and Mirrors!
because *clearly* the scariest thing to a Really Big Snake is seeing itself
and evil in no way would fancy itself.
I rather liked this one. Very strange. Lots of weird costumes and mirror self stuff.
And grown men playing with cardboard boxes, which is obviously the scariest part.
Then there was Black Orchid
which was not, of course, 'we ran out of ideas so here's two weeks of the Doctor at a party... oh yeah, and some murders!'
... he plays cricket. really well. of course.
and then there's a random identical non-twin. again. Which makes you wonder how large a cast the universe actually has.
And, oh yes, some poor sod who gets locked in an attic for being lumpy and crazy and then dies falling off a roof. Very tidy.
And the tag scene is 'glad you stayed for the funeral... hey, keep the costumes! shiny!'
*facepalm*
You know sometimes evil isn't at all lumpy, and lumpy isn't evil. Just every now and then. :eyeroll a lot:
But it has the Doctor doing sports, and having a shower, and wandering around in a robe, and then getting dressed up to go to a party. And lots of bits of his companions in pretty dresses dancing. Because clearly that's what everyone tunes in to see.
... actually, sadly, I quite liked those bits.
Is now midnight and the laptop ran out again, so I think I'll go sleep.
Or have a random thought and go sleep.
The thing about the Doctor now being fanciable is the thing where all them other Doctors are in fact the same guy so logically are also... and then my brain breaks because the Doctor Doesn't Do That, except clearly he now does, and watching with a different set of filters on he maybe then does, and... wah.
Some Doctors is prettier than others.
Many actors in the past looked very British and had bad teeth.
I mean if you're going to have planet of the half dressed people then your typical US show will acquire pretty half dressed people, but not Doctor Who, they just get people. And then you have people wandering around looking kind of like if a random assortment of British guys take their shirts off. Which, you know, only rarely eye candy.
And sometimes they're wearing flooring, which just makes it that much better, obviously.
Also the wigs very rarely help.
... the costume party costumes were pretty. I wants a butterfly dress with gauzy flappy big bits of fabric to be wings. Though I could live without the antennae.
Okay, /random
-> sleep
