Random on my episode choices

The more I read essays comparing 1 and every other Doctor ever, the less I want to do that. Because half of them start out with the idea that it was proper Doctor Who at the start, when it was serious and the Doctor was mysterious and grumpy and put his friends in danger and said You Can't Change History. The way it was meant to be, *invoke Newman and Lambert here*! Even for things that were abandoned after one, maybe two years. Out of 50.

Seeing as I haven't had any new thoughts on The Aztecs since I looked at it and thought 'hmmm, I could write about The Aztecs' I could ignore it and move on with no actual waste of time.

I'm contemplating comparing 11 to proper Doctor Who, like it used to be, in the 80s!

... yes, this is the same impulse that leads me to vote for 8 in every 'who is your favourite Doctor' poll ever, isn't it.
... but I like 8.

And 5, and his Team TARDIS, ( Read more... )

Okay, that's a lot of random.

I should go do something productive.

Even if it is get in arguments with essays. As long as I can make them specifically about my chosen text I can argue happily for thousands of words.

Plot fishnet

Am reading a fic where the Avengers get accused of a crime and they thing SHIELD is setting them up and they all go on the run and Steve and Tony end up hiding in a motel room together and I don't think I can keep reading it without taking a minute to write how it makes no sense.

And sorry if this happens to get back to the fic writer. Write what you like, if you want your guys running away in a motel together, fair enough. Just... sense, it is not actually making it.

Okay, I'm done.


... my upstairs-ish neighbour has put music on, and I'm slightly apprehensive they're going to put No Matter What on repeat and start singing along, because they do that, a lot.
... oh yeah, there it goes. *facepalm*

Ability to concentrate on college work would be nice.
Miraculous, but nice.

Daemons

It purely gives me the creeps when fanfic does the His Dark Materials daemon thing and makes one character the daemon of another. Especially because it's never Clint being an actual Hawkeye partnered up with Coulson or whoever. Fic never makes the point of view characters, the heroes, into the animal shaped half of that person. That's what sidekicks and supporting characters are for. And girlfriends.

Turning people's girlfriends into animals is a novel way to get them out of the way of the /
but not a pleasant one.

Pepper is not the animal spirit of Tony Stark. Pepper is her own adult and independent person. Or else it's really creepy.
