Just because....
Found this on youtube:
And it reminded me of Impish Girl's thoughts on River/Twelve (remember, she is 12 years old):
"Don't get me wrong - Peter Capaldi is awesome. But he is too old and wrinkly to kiss someone as pretty as Alex Kingston."
That's made me chuckle ever since last night.
She alsothinks that the old Cybermen were a lot scarier than the new ones, and is not happy that the latest ones take their look from the old show, because now they're creepy again.
Finally, we watched Captain America some weeks ago. At the very beginning - like within the first minute - The Cherub says 'They're going to find a mummy now!' And they did. Comic book movies: You are predictable. Also there was SURPRISE CLARA in a very minor role. I recognised her by her hands. ♥ And when Captain America got his Very Special Shield, the girls decided to dub him and his sidekicks 'The Boomerang Squad'. I like my kids.
Their current favourite thing is Adventure Time. In their world there is nothing better than asking/being asked what time it is, and the answer being a resounding 'ADVENTURE TIME'! (This illustration gives a good idea of what it's like.)
ETA: Forgot about Toasty Kirsty! This is their nickname for Kirsty Allsop (example of her show here). Her co-presenter they've decided to name 'Fairly hairless Phil'. Just wanted to pass it along, as Toasty Kirsty is just a lovely moniker. :)

Obviously PC is too old to be kissing AK. But I shall get used to it, Moff. Hint, hint.

Well she seemed perfectly up for kissing whoever was next. ;)
And sorry about disappearing. Worked late two evenings this week and then there's LIFE. Am OK, just not much time...

Well, I'm sure it skews young, but I know plenty of over twenties who love it. Apparently the mythology and continuity becomes quite complex, but the randomness is just so . . . random.
(Like Homestuck - have you heard of this? It's another one of Miss M's fandoms.)
I'd heard the name before, but know nothing of it beyond the Wikipedia blurb I just scanned.

Actually, even if River does come back, I wouldn't expect much kissing, the point of the kissing having now been made.

No need to apologize. *soothes* Any end in sight? I'm definitely out of the mire, but I feel like I'm gonna be in recovery all fall, bleah

Mmmmm. And it sort of helps that the kids love it? I'll pick stuff up by osmosis, but I don't have to pay attention.

Vastly complex, enormously long. Miss M & her friends are all busy getting cosplay costumes together. It makes them happy. :)

*nods* And I am very happy with their last parting, so I don't really want to touch that... Although I do love her, so it'd be interesting...

Oh yes, much better. But still lots of stuff to get done. (Will explain later, am busy with RL right now... *g*)

Yeah, I'm really hoping to be able to get into it by accident, but I'm afraid I'm not going to get that kind of exposure.

Well, obviously you've raised her right ; )

I'm working Saturday again *goes cross-eyed* Sooner or later things will have to stop happening, right? Right?

Loving your girls' thoughts, though I couldn't disagree more about Capaldi/Kingston kissing. Mmmm :D

She's just the best! :) (See here for the first things ever recorded about River - and Alex Kingston.)

Eeeee, that's amazing! :D :D :D Loving it. ♥ And Kate Winslet… ;) Well, nothing can beat Kingston but still… stellar.

I know quite a few guys my age who love Adventure Time. I've never actually watched, but it sounds like the kind of think I would have loved at your girl's age though!

I never watched ER, but I knew *of* Alex Kingston. And curly hair is amazing! (My hair is very fine and very flat...)

Yes, I think I need to be younger. It's fun but... Not quite grabbing me.

I cannot agree with Impish Girl, but then I remember myself when I was her age... Who am I kidding? I was in awe of Patrick Bauchau in the Pretender.
Also the Cherub seems very well-taught on tropes indeed...

Youtube suggested it to me. (Youtube knows me too well...)

It amused me. Esp because people talk about how 'old' Alex Kingston is. This is clearly not a barrier for connecting with younger viewers.

I'm doing something right! *is pleased*

HAHAHAHAHA what? Alex is hot, but Capaldi is also a catch for his age, isn't he? I'm rather looking forward to it tbh.

I guess we'll have to wait and see... (Mind you, she doesn't like ANY kissing, except for Amy & Rory. They're allowed - but they're an exception.)
