I watched the new Doctor Who last night while I was somewhat drunk. I rewatched it again today, and wrote down some sporadic thoughts while watching the second time.

end of time yapping
Jan. 4th, 2010 09:40 pmthe more i think about it, and read about it, the more i dislike the last episode of doctor who.
i've already read more than one alternative to the story telling on forums that were much more elegant, satisfying and sensible than what was presented on tv.
you know its bad when one of the best things you can think about it is...well it could have been worse.
this may even prompt me to read dw fanfic sometime in the future.
overall i thought this was a crappy send off. the plot was convoluted so as to be almost pointless. there were a few scenes which were genuinely emotional for me, but i didn't cry. the closest i came to crying was when anything had to do with donna. they didn't even really use her at all in this; she was just there longer than the other companions goodbye scenes because of wilf's random importance to the story.
also, mickey and martha? huh? ...yeah thanks for bothering to explain anything, ever show.
i know tennants doctor was often a bit of a selfish jerk, but i liked him anyway. i'm going to miss tennant, but perhaps not the somewhat crappy writing/plotting that RTD seems to excel at.

ranting about the new Doctor Who actor
Jan. 3rd, 2009 01:10 pmSo I just woke up today, and remembered I could find out who the next actor to play Doctor Who was. It was just announced today. Well, HE SUCKS. I am highly disappointed. Okay, I don't know how much he sucks given I've seen one picture of the dude. But it is not a lot of the other cooler people it could have been (like Chiwetel Ejiofor, who is awesome). Blah. I am highly disappointed. The new Doctor is a younger dude than any of the past doctors, and whiter than white. Blah! I actually thought it was possible they would do something interesting with this and make it either an older man, or a POC. I pretty much figured it was impossible they would cast a woman as the new Doctor. But this? This is beyond cliche. This is so disappointing. This does not leave me with any hope regarding the next series of DW.
you were brilliant
Jul. 5th, 2008 09:05 pmYou have got to be fucking kidding me.
(I am referring to Doctor Who, so don't get worried. It's just a tv show.)
I won't say anything more than that, because I just got done watching it about two minutes ago and thats one of the only coherent things I can come up with. But seriously. You have got to be fucking kidding me!

embracing my geekhood
Jun. 30th, 2008 03:15 pmThis will be of interest to very few people. So just move along. Behind the cut are my rambling thoughts regarding the latest episode of Doctor Who, 4x12. Some people think this episode title is a spoiler, but when I finally heard it, I didn't get the big deal. Regardless, do not click below unless you are prepared to be spoiled for Doctor Who 4x12.

Hold On! .....I Am!!!
Apr. 7th, 2008 09:37 pmOkay. The end of season 2 of Torchwood. The beginning of season 4 of Doctor Who.
( Spoilers for Exit Wounds and Partners in Crime. )
In real life, Travis started back to work with me, and they are retraining him so we have to get to work early. That is sort of nice--having a reason to get up early. So I had more free time after work (it was sorta weird) And I went for a little walk even. Woot. I'm all active and shit ;) And now I am just trying to figure out if I want to read or play the Sims. I'll probably try to do both and end up staying up late and being tired tomorrow again. Oh well. Getting into work early is a whole different vibe for me, and it felt like the day went faster. Although that was probably more a result of having Travis there, and therefore actually leaving my desk more than once or twice a day! And for some reason I am slightly stressed out right now. I don't know why in particular. I get that on occasion. I just feel very stressed out, anxious or worried. And I don't know why or how to stop it.
Dammit, why'd I have to drink all my beer last night?
