Is Matt Smith's costume a spoiler? I'm gonna guess not since they've been in the news and all, but it's kinda hard to tell...

( Series five and more )

I've been away for a few days and now DW fandom has exploded.

Look! Matt Smith's costume! I love it. (There's spoilers below the picture there.) And Karen Gillan's character name is Amy Pond, and she looks really pretty, and I've really got my hopes up for this series so I hope it's awesome and not as hard on the heart as Torchwood was.

Enjoy!

(you know the rules, probably- don't hotlink and don't say they're yours, not that I reckon anyone reading this is likely to do that.)

( the children of time )

That was okay, but I have no desire at all to watch it again. The only really exciting bit was the Dramatic Foreshadow at the end. Maybe Doctor Who's the sort of show that works better with arcs, or something.

( Spoilers )

Oh, and a desert planet with three suns? Someone's been watching Star Wars...

Okay, this is a challenge antistar_e is doing, and it's a wonderful idea and I want to do it too. :p

The challenge is to write 30 ficlets for 30 women. (I believe orginally it said fabulous women...but some of these people are downright nasty characters.)

( The List )

(This is best described as a stream of conciousness.)


Rose isn't a good role model, or something. I don't know about that. I hate her selfishness and the way she treated Mickey and Jackie,
but...well, I always thought that if I knew Rose in real life, if she was a classmate or something instead of a fictional time
traveller, I'd rather like her. Heck, I think I probably do know some Roses.

She's not a feminist character. She gives up her whole life for a man. One of the Roses I know tells me she's a feminist. Is Rose Tyler
a feminist? Maybe she is. Who knows.

Rose Tyler as a person isn't all bad. She's quite good, actually. She's incredibly selfish, true, but she's also sweet and funny and very
brave and determined and loyal. Rose Tyler as a character...well, that's the thing, isn't it?

If my hypothetical daughter told me she admired Rose Tyler, I don't think I'd mind. So long as she didn't actually run off with
a much older man and make me worry and almost break my heart. But that's Russell's fault, not Rose's. Right? Right...?

I got Russell T Davies' The Writer's Tale for Christmas. It's a darn good read. I thought I'd share some tidbits, in (mostly) bullet-point form.

( People cut from Journey's End, and more )
( The Unicorn and the Wasp )
( Other stuff )

That's all I've got. The book's worth buying though, it's really quite interesting.

(offical) Doctor Who Personality Test. I got Rose, who did you get? :)

That was the most...

( Spoilers )

Spoilers ahead. :)

( On Journey's End )

Excuse the incoherence...

( Spoilers! )

That was all kinds of awesome.

( Turn Left )

If you should know about any of these things...don't tell me. :p

( Spoilers, probably )

I have my fingers crossed.

That was so, so good.

( Mummy, what's happening to the sky? )

( Spoilers ahead )

In other news, I'm delighted for Barack Obama. :D

Not quite the scariest episode ever (that's still Blink) but still really really really scary.

( Silence In The Library )

That was really really really cool.

( The Unicorn and the Wasp )
