Am rewatching Doctor Who.
Have discovered my opinions on suicide are so unwavering I now have major issues with the ending of Dalek.
That's some fairly context-independent opinions, right there.


Thing is though, if Daleks can change, they're not Daleks any more. And then you're into Spike and Angel territory. Redemption & enlightenment. Might be a very long way off, but if change is possible then that change could be possible. So ending is no longer the right answer.


Very dramatic though.

I have this scrolling LED tag
1 message 512 characters, 5 messages 256.

I now need to think of those six messages.

so now I'm thinking quotes

6 quotes to say everything I might need to broadcast in scrolling shiny lights across a dance floor.

I'm thinking of starting with "You people and your quaint little categories" and "Of course bananas are much more interesting", for the wide applicability.
... er, yeah, ANYways ...

Torchwood, DW, Highlander, Buffy, Angel, B5... lots of places to gather from.

suggest some quotes!
some like-me quotes
to be shiny

Had a dream I was at a Doctor Who convention and kept falling asleep in the audience. And whenever I woke up someone new and interesting was just about to leave. Including a bunch of people who were technically dead but had managed to turn up for the convention anyway.

As anxiety dreams go this one seems a bit odd.

But kind of fun.

Doctor Who rewatch

have watched 1st season, including all the Jack episodes.
*hugs Jack*
mean Doctor! went away!

... you know, the thing about Doctor Who is it's up there on the list of shows where I react in a slightly too gut level for sanity way. I mean, it isn't just suspension of disbelief, it isn't a thought thing, I just watch glass smash in space or Daleks roll into view and it's *scary*. Because, Dalek! And space! And wah!

Whenever Jack gets killed zapped I make sad noise. Every time! I know to the second how long before he's back, and still, sad noise.

And when the Doctor dies regenerates? I need tissues.

I feel ever so slightly *facepalm* about this but - and this is key - only when I'm not watching.
When I *am* watching I'm far too busy feeling what the story says to.




Except when Rose steps out all shiny, because then I'm mostly feeling *facepalm* cause now it's the universe as written by a teenage girl.

I keep telling myself it's the TARDIS gone human shaped, but it's still too much Rose looking for me not to *facepalm*.



Okay, onwards to season 2 set.


Actually I kind of want to go onwards to Torchwood right away, watch Jack some more, but I'm trying to rewatch before new DW and I can go on to Torchwood after. Also it's meant to be in that order anyway.




... Daleks, Federation ships going boom, and my tendency to read long coats as concealing swords = indicators my subconscious takes all this waaaaaaay too seriously
:eyeroll:


(... but it's kind of more fun that way ...)
