Time Crash

BELGIUM SPECS BEARD JOKE, OMG 'DECORATIVE VEGETABLE' HANDS-FREE SQUEAKY VOICE TIME PARADOX ALL MY LOVE L.I.N.D.A. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

I did a sort of wonky dance when the credits had his name in. Ahem. And omg, the fucking music! with the segue from awful 80s synthy shit to ticketytickety Murray Gold: brilliantness.

Of course, there's a useless bit of my brain going 'hang on, given Tennant's age his Doctor is clearly Tom' - but fuck that bit of my brain with a canoe, quite frankly. FIVE IS THE BEST DOCTOR EVER, SAYS THE DOCTOR: tis official.

Actual new Five was just on my telly. Properly. With genuine 'in the middle of two episodes so we can properly say it's canon' gubbins.

Am just babbling now. Fivey Fivey Fivey yay.

Oh, and you just know he only asked about Nyssa and Tegan to check if he'd met Turlough yet. *nods*

Lawl. I was pissed at first about no Turlough mention, but... ^^; I suppose your logic will have to suffice. Mwa.

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

There was so much else to squee over. Besides, we already know Ten wanted to be ginger.

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Dunno how true this is but someone at the OG claims they saw the original draft and it had the line "I need to get back to Turlough - he's trying to kill me, you know!"

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

Oh sweet potatoes, let it be true!

[snowgrouse.livejournal.com]

They had eighties music and I squeed. And with PETEY'S NAME ON THE SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN.

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

The name in the credits thing made me flail quite ridiculously.

They made it fit into canon so they can properly reference it when they make a genuine full episode with them in. I AM GOING TO CONTINUE TO BELIEVE THIS UNTIL IT HAPPENS.

[snowgrouse.livejournal.com]

YES PLEASE.

MUCH MUCH YES PLEASE-AGE.

WASN'T IT TEH FAB!!!!

I did a great big cry when he said he was his doctor. AWWWWWWW. I mean - AW.

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

Me too. I'm hopeless.

Aren't you supposed to be at the theatre?

[gingerelanor.livejournal.com]

It wasn't very good so I left at the interval.

DOCTORS!!! TWO OF THEM!

[gingerelanor.livejournal.com]

Oh and - Tennant's age, Tom should be his doctor - um. Isn't he like my age? Or a bit younger? How old is the Teninch? Cos Petey is MY DOCTOR and I thought Tennant was my age, so um... yeah.

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

From the Confidential thingy, he was saying Pete was the Doctor when he was 11. Which I suppose still makes it possible for him to be 'his' Doctor, but I recall from previous interviews Tennant talking lots about growing up on the Baker era and Sarah Jane being his fave companion and all of that.

Then again, there's interviews with Moffatt saying he always thought Pete was shit (and then retracting it later and saying he's now his favourite). So I suppose everything's ignorable. And it was supposed to be the Doctor saying it anyway.

I've confused myself now. Who cares? I still can't quite believe that it exists, it's so veru wondrous.

[gingerelanor.livejournal.com]

I watched Tom when I was a kid, and I loved Sarah Jane. Tom was that funny man with the eyes and the hair though, and I wasn't THAT into it. When he turned into Petey though, I was ten, and I was all *ooooooooh it's Tristan!* and I was SMITTEN and I just loved him and he was MINE etc. Maybe because I saw him from his first episode, not like with Four where he'd been there from before I was, if you see what I mean.

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

Tom scared the shit out of me when I was wee. And then Five appeared (I was 7) and he was 'mine' as opposed to being the old scary man my big sisters knew all about and had watched for ages, so I was extra-possessive. Plus he was all enfeebled in his first one, and apparently 7-year-old me was alarmingly fond of hurt/comfort. (I found it quite confusing that he was Tristan as well.)

So same thing as you, really: the one you saw from the very beginning, so you feel you know all about them. Bit bonkers given the nature of the character, but there we are.

[gingerelanor.livejournal.com]

I think you're right. Plus I'll qualify it to the FIRST one you saw from the beginning - cos I saw all the others from the beginning too, and although I adore Seven, and Nine is good, and Ten is my nearly-second-favourite, they are not MY DOCTORS.

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

*nods* Yes, indeed. The one that introduces you to it all. :)

[vandonovan.livejournal.com]

Well, "your Doctor" is the one you watched, not so much who was on when you were alive. 'Cause I was born at the end of Tom's run, and was proper Who viewing age for Seven, but Nine is "my Doctor."

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

All true, indeed - and I vaguely recall Tom, despite Petey very much being my Doctor. But Tennant's gone on about how he grew up on the Baker era before now. It just jerked me out of the story a little bit (albeit only to go 'hurrah, Moffatt has written what he thinks and doesn't care, yay!').

[vandonovan.livejournal.com]

That's interesting, 'cause I've always assumed Davison was Tennant's Doctor, due exactly to the stuff he mentions: the specs and the runners and stuff. But, mind, I obviously don't read much on Tennant, so I may very well be talking out my ass.

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

I dunno, maybe I'm just being manipulated by the press machine. He certainly fanboyed Lis Sladen like crazy and there was much talk of him hiding behind the sofa watching Tom etc - but maybe that was purely School Reunion-related. Age-wise, it seems to me he'd be in there with the RTD crowd of being diehard Four fen, but then again he's a proper nerd and loves them all.

In other words, I have no idea really. :)

[anne-asta.livejournal.com]

I giggled my damn fool head off throughout that whole thing.

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

I was sort of lost between squeaking and flailing about as if being attacked by bees. The beard line made me bark.

[anne-asta.livejournal.com]

Beard Line = full of win.

Rah rah rah sis boom bah for My Doctor. Oh, and My Other Doctor. Together at last. Decorative vegetables!

[wishfulaces.livejournal.com]

I did a little dance. And a song to accompany it, the lyrics of which mostly consisted of "I love you I love you I love you." Um. You know it's your true lifelong fandom when it turns you into a one-woman show. And makes you squeak high enough that only dogs can hear you.

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

There's probably an entire musical extravaganza to be had just based on the various meeping/flailing of fangirls around the globe.

I would pay money to see it.

[wishfulaces.livejournal.com]

I dunno, I think it'd be pretty terrifying...

SCI FI WHO! PROPER SCI FI WHO TECHNOBABBLE

I would marry moff and bear him a fucking tribe full of children just for giving me back my sci fi who. Seriously

Tennant's the same age group as us. His docs are fourth and fifth, and clearly he chose the superior model. What a clever boy :D

And nyssa/Tegan? Because they're Fourth companions and therefore easy not to accidentally leak information over *noddles*

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

*nods approvingly*

Yeah, the Nyssa/Tegan thing is a safe bet. And he just avoided mentionign Adric because, you know, hatred. Or angst. Probably hatred.

The technobabble was lovely. And the time paradox. I loved the time paradox more than even the decorative vegetable.

[taleya.livejournal.com]

I loved the time paradox more than even the decorative vegetable.

Even more than the Skinny Ranting Idiot (tm)? :D

Exploding TARDISes...supernova+blackhole = equilibrium... *wibbles ever so slightly*

Oh moff, moff, how I worship thee...

[livii.livejournal.com]

I thought of you during this, and am happy to see your squee!

(I thought that too though - that he was a Four fanboy first and foremost - but if they could get Davison, that works for me!)

[rhube.livejournal.com]

Just 'cause the age is right, doesn't mean you love 'em best. I think at best I was only *just* born when Five left the series... There's no denying that Seven has a place in my heart, and yet the majority of my squeee *is* about Mr. Five. :-D

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

Swishy blond hair is quite persuasive. ;)

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

Hee! I am still a bit skippy about it: it's so impossibly perfect.

Yay for Pete being up for it. :)

[romanticizing.livejournal.com]

Dude, the 80s music was kind of the best thing ever. Except like everything else in this which was also the best thing ever. I kind of died at the beard joke HOW DID THEY GET THAT IN THERE?!

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

It was for charity! You can get away with anything for charity! (Or, you can get away with a joke which would offend my mother but which she just wouldn't even notice, anyway: much cleverness.)

Implausible levels of yay for it.

[rhube.livejournal.com]

*waves hello*

Should have friended you ages ago - hope you don't mind!

Also: Squee.

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

Squee indeed, and hello. I am quite boring and quiet these days, I'm afraid, but such is life. Hurrah for fellow percy Five-fanciers, anyway. :D

[rhube.livejournal.com]

Five love is never dull ;-p

[fledchen.livejournal.com]

Time Crash has renewed my love of Five. In fact, I went looking for a fic you wrote, "Self Control" and was dismayed to find that it has been deleted. :(

Any chance you'll re-post it?

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

Mmm, Five: I trust TC will earn him a renewed outpouring of love, which he richly deserves die to him being completely wondrous. (I might be a bit biased.)

My fic vanished, yeah, sorry. I might bung some stuff back up again at some point: it'll be in the obvious places if so. Glad you liked it, anyway: that one always tickled me.

[rhube.livejournal.com]

I noticed your fic vanishing with sadness also - I had wanted to rec Narcicism to friends - the very first fanfic I read and liked!

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

Aww, cheers! First proper bit of Five fic I wrote, that was. Will let you know if it ever goes online again.
