Thoughts after some more Dr Who

[sqbr]

Two things about Russel T Davies the world did not need to know: he has issues with fat people and a real thing for maid uniforms. (I'm sure it's just a matter of time before Donna gets into one)



Torchwood Episode One: Spike/Angel slash (unsouled and souled respectively) made flesh, no wonder everyone recommends this season :)

Dr Who:

Christmas Special: Not everywhere on Earth celebrates Christmas!

Ooohhh...so you'll ask Kylie Minogue to travel with you pretty much the moment you meet her, but if it's some middle aged guy you'll just reject and abandon him in a snow covered field on an alien planet, huh? Nice.

Overall his preferences seem to go:
Timelord > Blonde > Redhead > Black/brunette >> balding middle aged man

With "I will tie you up and keep in my TARDIS for ever and ever" at one end and "I travel alone (yes even though I just asked someone else to go with me, she was prettier than you)" at the other.

Episode One: Yes, that's right, Martha was brilliant and you treated her like crap, NOW you realise it. Idiot.

OMG tiny little adorable monsters made of FAT. Did I mention the issues with fatness?

Episode 2: Ok, yes, she is theoretically in a toga, but it looks more like an empire line dress to me. Still, points for trying.

Episode 3: Stop the presses, slavery is bad. Who'd have thunk it? Still, how could he have been expected to notice that, he was distracted! By Stuff! It's a complex concept to grasp, ok?

In conclusion: If I wrote fanfic, I would totally do an AU about The Doctor and Mr Copper traveling the universe together. (With Bannakaffalatta and Astrid happily married on some distant more open minded planet)

have only just wathed beginning of season 1. Notice Rose gets advice from sad, middle aged, male Who fan whotracks him through historical records and *clearly lvoes him more and would make a better companion*. But no.

It's been so long since I saw Season One I can't remember which episode you're talking about. And, looking through the list of episodes, I realise I missed one!! (Father's Day)

You missed Father's Day? At least it wasn't a two parter... good episode though :)

[alias_sqbr]

I mean to get around the watching it a some point. And I can't figure out how I missed it!

first ep of s 1 rose meets the dr and then he leaves/ she googles him and finds a fat middle aged man who runs a website about him and as accumulated much knowledge. i wpuld have liked him to be a continuing character

[alias_sqbr]

Oh, that guy! Yeah, I liked him and was sad to see him go, though he seemed a bit settled to be a companion, happy keeping his doctor watching as a hobby.

Oh, and just watched the episode with the people from LINDA.

I am very proud of myself for not adding "And actually on the whole all the one-shot Dr Who experts seem to come to a sticky end" in my previous comment, but it really does seem to be true (I don't remember any more you actually get to know in the rest of the series)
