yes I've forgotten the episode title, no it doesnt seem worth looking up.

I'd forgotten most of the episode too. Estelle and Jack.

Right, I'm stalling now because I don't want to watch Countrycide.
Okay, that's easy then, no watching Countrycide after midnight.

I'll put on something twelve rated, where the good guys make a difference.

This one felt kind of off. I mean, every episode is so different from every other episode they could all feel off. But the character voices... there were some lines I'd have given to different characters, and others I'd rewrite now. Odd bits of knowledge and odd ways of expressing them.
Is the problem with developing characters as you go along, something has to end up the outlier.

Also I felt it kind of lost at show-not-tell. I mean it did a lot of showing, but then Jack told us all what it all meant, at some length. That was... inelegant.

Rewatched. Feels more uneven on second watch. And I wasn't playing so much in the middle, when it was being about not-Jack. I wandered off to get food, on account of being hungry.
When in the middle of fannish pursuits I have been known to not get out of my chair for 14 hours straight, so this is not so much the good sign. More of the story needs to be about the regulars.

Yeah, I know, I may be trying to puzzle out in-story reasons where only writer reasons exist. But that would be where the fun lives.

Anyway.
Bazillion ways to read this, or write in the gaps.
Is fun stuff.


Is also fun watching the pretty. And watching the pretty angst.

I do kind of miss the DW version a teensy bit though. I mean, angst isn't everything. Charming flirtation through half the universe is a lot more fun.

okays, thoughts under the cut
about age, and maturity, and when everything changes

You know, with all this lit stuff I'm reading, I kind of want to point out, I don't necessarily say this stuff is in the text waiting to be found. I mean, it would be nice to think that way. But I try and say, can be read as. Or, can be read into, I know. How much of this is from the text and how much I pull out the back of my mind is entirely fuzzy.

But isn't this just fun?

Damn that was good.
Captain Jack.
Anyone that was wondering if John Barrowman can act?
That would be a *yes*.

Whole conversations in facial expression in that one. *Love* it.

This show is hitting so many of my kinks. It's like somebody collected all the good bits from all my old fandoms and poured them in together and then added actual slash.

I have whirlwind thoughts because too much cool in too small a space.


(entirely unspoiled) Predictions for next week: Read more... )


I absolutely love this show. I really really do.

Now I need to attempt to get 8 hours sleep before 0645 tomorrow. Wish me luck.
