I am wondering if I should count watching seven episodes of Dr. Who as a big accomplishment - it's not like it was painful - but given my gnat-sized attention span this week, I'm going to go ahead and say: yay! Check that off the list!
And also, oh my GOD I love Nine and Rose. I am trying to block all awareness that their love is not eternal from my mind. Seriously, I don't know what it is, but somewhere between Christopher Eccleston's enormous ears and Billie Piper's metric ton of eyeliner there is
love in my soul. I spend half of every episode just
smishing them.
( I don't know what it is about their dynamic (mini-picspam, 1x05, 1x07) ).
Is it just that I started paying attention to this sort of thing, or is Dr. Who (at least S1 to episode 8) really beautifully filmed? Because I was playing with screencaps, and seriously, so many shots were so well-composited that it felt like someone had drawn them.
I'm up to 1x09, The Empty Child, and
( yeah. )I am also enjoying that I am part of a long tradition of people who are really, really curious about how Time Lords reproduce.
ETA: Re: The Doctor Dances: Really? Did a particular OT3 just enter the canon in a big camera-fades-out sort of way? Because y'all were telling me it was canon, and I was not believing you, which shows what I know.
