Not the mind probe!

This morning, Mr Postman brought me The Five Doctors, Serenity, and THREE bars of Green & Blacks. My siblings, they are good people. All Mondays should be like this.

Have seen The Five Doctors a thousand million times and it never fails to make me flail with glee. Things which especially popped out on this viewing:



* Putting Five and One together for so much of it was a bloody masterstroke.

* I still really like the Raston Warrior Robot and its enthusiastic gay jumping.

* If anyone ever tries to suggest that the Master does not want to shag the Doctor, show them the scene where the High Council explain their 'plan'. The man is drooling, I tell you, drooling! (Though he has naff all chemistry with Three: suppose Fancy Pants only goes for Delgado!Master.)

* Special edition = teh suXXor. The extra doomy ceiling in Rassilon's chamber is quite good. The swirly cone thing is not. And I swear, according to my 8-year-old brain, that at the end, in the One True Version, the TARDIS did a repeated dematerialisation thing which was awesome. (I may be wrong about this: when I was 8 I liked Roland Rat and therefore am an unreliable witness.)

* Zoe's dress doesn't look like bubble-wrap. It is bubble-wrap. Did she wear bubble-wrap in the original series?

* The minute he gets to Gallifrey, Fivey puts on a phenomenal amount of eyeliner. He clearly ran away to escape his inner tranny.

* That bit where there are loads of Cybermen on a hill and no one notices them for ages is arse.

* I slightly hate Sarah. *ducks*

* One appears to not even slightly recognise the Master, which buggers up all thoughts that Koschei resembles the beardy velvety-gloved one. Poop.

* OMG so much hand!porn at the beginning. And how unspeakably brilliant is the bit where One orders Tegan off to make tea, and Fivey sends Turlough too?

* Green & Black's Hazelnut and Currant Dark Chocolate is rather wonderful. (Not technically part of the viewing experience, but highly recommended.)


Think Captain Tight-Pants might have to wait till tomorrow: I have an urge to iconify some high-res handporn.

'It's very gay' rather goes without saying, but yes. Susan: needs a slap. You have travelled in the TARDIS loads and your bloody 'grandfather' (ahem) is a Time Lord, and do you contribute anything of any use? Ever? Nyet.

Vomiting Cyberman? Do you know which bit he's meant to be in? I didn't notice him, but I may have been distracted by Sarah's 'fashion'.

I love that Tom bit. He has such good boots, and the script is pleasingly daffy as one would expect from Dougie. And they are having teh sex.

I think it is in the bit with the Raston Warrior Robot. One of them gets killed and appears to vomit milk as a result.

Also, the look Five and Susan give each other is SO not normal for the whole related thing. Eww.

Will have to watch that again. Oh woe.

*nods to Five/Susan wrongness*
