TIMOTHY DALTON ASFGLHD!!!!!

I wonder if this is a /deliberate/ reference to Simm!Master's "final" scene, which so eloquently echoed the ending of Dalton's last epic sci-fi masterpiece, Flash Gordon?

Hot damn, Dalton looks so much sexier with the bits of grey and sans tache. I totally would. Om nom nom.

You would've anyway.

[miss_s_b]

Yes, well, probably. Bloody fiancé, KNOWING me like that... :P

[lizbee]

OH GOD WHY IS DALTON SUDDENLY SEXY? IS IT THE NEW-STYLE GALLIFREYAN ROBES? THE LINGERING ECHO OF ROBERTS!MASTER?

*mentally photoshops Romana into robes*

[miss_s_b]

Because he looks like Patrick Stewart with hair?

[lizbee]

Yes, that must be it.

My BFF piecesofalice met him once, when he and his kids visited the store where she was working. His kids, she says, are douchebags, but he was lovely. And handsome.

[bimo]

Hair and slightly taller ;-)
(judging from how Dalton and Stewart look like in direct comparison to Tennant, no idea about Dalton's actual height)

[telegramsam]

ZOMG I never realized this until you said it but YOU ARE SO RIGHT. XD

Though I still <3 Patrick Stewart more than Timothy Dalton. He was a boring Bond anyway.

And this still doesn't make me want to watch NuHu so *ppbbbbt* at that.

I AM SCREAMING RIGHT NOW. ONLY BECAUSE I LOVE TIMOTHY DALTON SFM. OMG~~~~~

One remembers Jon Culshaw helpfully suggesting that the Beeb go for Timothy Dalton as the Ninth Doctor in SFX before they cast Christopher Eccelston - he is obvisouly not the Doctor but hey Timelord that is close. I think he would make quite a good Doctor if he played in a similar vein to his performance as Lord Asriel in the National's first production of His Dark Materials (which was pretty fab!)

One assumes then that the Doctor is not alone anymore then and Gallifrey or its inhabitiants have been hiding; a shame I rather liked the whole last of his people thing even if he had to bang on about it so much.

Awesome!

[shishmish]

Holy Hannah Batman, what happened to John Simm? Did they attack him with bleach?! *is freaked*

Argh, you know it's bad when you see Flash Gordon and you instantly think of Brian Blessed!

So, new Master? Or equally as bad Time Lord? Cause damn, ex-Bond star as a baddie would be awesome.

[miss_s_b]

I have no idea what you mean :D

[shishmish]

Says the mod of Dreamwidth's Brian Blessed community :P
