Some thoughts on S11 episodes

So I wrote down some reactions, questions and things about season 11 in my journal. Obviously don’t read if you haven’t watched as there are major spoilers.

Episode 4 Arachnids in the UK )

This link goes to my journal because I wrote rather a lot there.

Episodes 5-7

What did you think?

Doctor Who rewatch thoughts

In case anyone where is interested, here are some random thoughts and observations from the Doctor Who rewatch I've been doing this summer:

Series 1
Series 2 & 3

(for the record, these are the thoughts of someone who for 10 years was a casual viewer who watched the show despite the Doctor and then suddenly a few months ago became a "proper" fan who watched the show *because* of the Doctor)

Belated Meta/Reviews for Episodes 4&5

I remain behind on everything so many of life's sundries at the minute, and am still time-shifting all viewing.

Fingers crossed I am getting back into the knack of meta/reviewing. As before, I am sticking these up on AO3. If you're interested they are here: Knock Knock & Oxygen.

Thank you.

Comments are always welcome. Replies to those may also be a tad belated.
Sorry.

Belated Meta/Reviews for Episodes 1-3

I am behind on everything at the minute, and only had a chance to see Knock, Knock earlier today!

I am though slowly getting back into the knack of meta/reviewing and, as I'm not blogging at the moment, I'm sticking these up on AO3. If you're interested they are here: The Pilot, Smile, & Thin Ice.

Thanks. Comments are always welcome...

The Madwoman in the Basement (ramblings/meta)

It doesn't seem like anybody's posted any meta here in awhile, but in the interest of supporting the growth of Who fandom on DW, thought I would link you all to my (slightly sketchy and unpolished--my apologies) musings on Knock Knock:

Madwoman in the Attic Basement

Warning: hardcore literary geekery ahead, including discussion of Knock Knock as a gothic novel, a comparison of Moffat To T.S. Eliot, and an analysis of how a popular supposition of who's in the vault would fit into the show's symbolism.

I am still doing my Aceathon (watching all the Ace stories in order) and I thought I would link here even though my posts are basically just about how ~perfectual~ the Doctor and Ace are together.

The Randomizer: The Hungry Earth/Cold Blood

*takes a deep breath*

I have been randomly watching my way through Doctor Who and blogging about it and it occurred to me, in the name of getting more involved with the DreamWidth community, that maybe I should crosspost my sporadic musings to this comm.

So here is my review of The Hungry Earth/Cold Blood.

[SPOILERS] DW: The Beast Below

I have posted a review/dissection of S05E02 The Beast Below in my journal here. Spoilers from the outset.

So then, what did we think?

K, spoiler free review. Um, didn't Karen/Amy look great in that outfit?

I thought the first ten minutes or so were both OTT and self-indulgent, but did work as a nice setup for 11 and Amy. But then it began to grab me.

Anyone else? I suspect there'll be spoilers in the comments. Some of them will come from me.

Some more reflections on the first season of Classic Who

So here we go with the last two stories of the first season; one space adventure and one forage into the past! I'm still struck with both the surprising differences and the equally surprising likeness between the old and modern Doctors.

I should really get myself a first doctor icon.

The Sensorites )

The Reign of Terror )

Er, I sort of tagged the post, is that all right? If not, just let me know.

Oh, and this is more or less cross posted to my own dreamwidth, though there's a bit of additional (non-Who) rambling in that post.

Edited to fix cut tag.
Edit number two: Apparently members can't actually tag posts, so nevermind that. But some tags would be nice...

The Doctor's Daughter and Donna

So yeah, I'm alternating classic Who (just watched the first part of the reconstruction of "Marco polo") with rewatching season four of new Who. What's wrong with that? XD

Seriously, knowing what will eventually happen to Donna, I have to take it in small pieces; every time she's awesome (and that's pretty much all the time) I just want to cry.

Some thoughts on  )

Sort of crossposted to my own dw; that post includes a fic rec, though.

Oh, and quick question: do I tag my posts, or does the mod do that?

Dreamland. And snow.


UK citizens: this snowfall is almsot certainly a sign of extra terretrial activity interfering with our climate, yes?
Thought so. Anyone seen Dreamland?

Summary from the BBC iPlayer site: America, 1958. The Doctor makes a new friend, Cassie, who reveals that anyone approaching the top secret Dreamland army base goes missing. The Doctor discovers an alien army hatching beneath the New Mexico desert, while inside Dreamland, survivors of an extraterrestrial war possess a weapon powerful enough to destroy Earth...

The thing I really picked up from 'Dreamland' is that I desperately want a Doctor Who video game. Are there any out there? Does anyone have any information on this?
Apart from the slightly shuddery graphics, it's a well put together plot, and if you can ignore the Doctor's thinning scalp and the fact that Georgie Moffett (who has given me the heebie jeebies ever since the Doctor's Daughter became the Doctor's Date. And you know Jenny's coming back now The Moff has taken over. Where was I?) voices one of the main companions, Cassie, it's a nice thing to watch with your tea of hotdogs and banana milkshake.
 And it's a far kinder farewell to Ten than EoT2! For me he will forever me enjoying Ming Dynasty Dim Sum in some tiny restaurant, perhaps with a napkin tucked into his collar, talking with his mouth full.
