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.

In np specific order

"A cosmos without the Doctor scarcely bears thinking about." is about the only evidence you need for the ship in my opinion. You forgot the bit where Five spots the Master and wanders over to flirt with him much to Tegan's disgust.

Five clearly took the eyeliner away so Tegan and Turlough couldn't abuse it - that's why Tegan was so angry throught out the episode, not only did he take the eyeliner, he took the 80's eyeshadow as well.

There's nothing wrong with Roland Rat!

One has a notoriously bad memory, and I think Three's only making a good guess at who the guy in black in (I don't know why none of the Doctors can recognise the Master ever, I though Time Lords had a telepathic connection) - also do you really want him meeting the Master and blurting out "Hey! you're the guy I used to shag at college. Do you remember when..."

I love the fact that it's Turlough doing all the catching and hand holding whilst Tegan bitches away happily.

Still my favourite episode ever ever ever, dodgy remastering and all. And I hated Sarah too until I saw her in other episodes, where she doesn't shriek a lot and fall down the world's shallowest incline.

retarded day!

XD I totally agree with all the "omg Master wants the Doctor" stuff... I remember the collective awww that flooded the room when I heard the "universe without the Doctor" line for the first time. <3

*drool* hand porn... I eagerly await the icons! XD And I love the parts where Five is all unconscious and Turlough's hovering over him. I could shout at the mountain tops "OTP!" but I doubt many people would get what I was screaming, then they'd think I was trapped in an avalanche and call a rescue team or something...

One thing: ...Am I the only one who thought that Rassilon sounded exactly like the guy that sang, "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch"? *blush*

I tried to download The Five Doctors from the who-eps community recently, but the file was buggered. I've added it to my rental queue so hopefully I'll get hold of it pretty soon. And from now on I will *coughcough* remember to rip rental Who DVDs before I send them back...

The minute he gets to Gallifrey, Fivey puts on a phenomenal amount of eyeliner.
Damn, I love my new fandom!

The best part is when they go away to make the tea, and then they cut back and the whole table is filled with bad 80's tupperware and a banana boat and colorful martinis. That's one crazy-ass tea!

* Susan is shite in this one.

* As is Sarah-Jane.

* It's very gay.

* Is that the version with the vomiting Cyberman for I hear he is not in every version?

* Even in their tiny wee bit from Shada it is clear that Four and Romana are in LOVE.

Is the FUF masterlist up to date? People are pestering me to make polls!

DUDE.

"And not humiliate me first, ooh, that isn't your style at all" IS THE SLASHIEST LINE EVER. Torrents of BDSM images flood the brain with that. I mean, REALLY. HELLO. And yes, he's drooling at the idea of humiliating the Doc.

Also, it's in Wales and near Portmeirion and that place always looks rather miserable but omg, WALES. Last August, me and the übergeek Petey-fancying ex went down to a boring slate mine ONLY because it had had Troughton and YETIS. Walespr0n!

Also, Five looks so damn gay when he plucks the Harp Of Rassilon. Which is of the good, I guess.

I wish I had your postman :p

It's not your bad memory - the Tardis definitely did a kool thing where 4 of them kind of dematerialised out of one. I wasn't a big fan of the changes. Still not forgiving them for making Rasslions voice no longer camp.

There's a BRILLIANT commentary for this by Peter Davison and Terrance Dicks, but it's only available on the Region 1 DVD. I could stick it on yousendit if you like?
