Doctor Who rewatch

[beccaelizabeth]

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 ...)

The thing is, it IS scary. It GETS to you, sometimes - the proper way to watch DW is from behind the sofa ;) (But yes, that's a particularly "EEK!"-ish moment. Poor Lynda!)

And seriously, telling myself it's the TARDIS gone all human-shaped - Rose is just a vessel, it could have been ANYONE nearby, it could have been Mickey or Jackie or Random Passer-by-er Number Seven - is just about the only way to get through that scene XD And that kiss that the Batchippers try to use to justify OMG CANON? I choose that as the Doctor thinking, "Hey, closest I'm going to get to snogging the TARDIS! ^_^"
