Stuff.

So - life is back to normal, in that school is open again! Which means that I've been *busy* today and have got things done. Which is good, but also means that now I'm tired and can't remember all the things I was going to post about...

*thinks* Oh yes. I changed my layout (again). I sweet talked kathyh into making me a banner, and it is very lovely indeed. Spoilery for EoT I guess, although in a rather obscure way! :)

Also selenak wrote a wonderful post: Ten Reasons To Love Russell T. Davies (Spoilers for EoT!).

And then of course Being Human returned last night... And it was a lovely as ever. I love how even though it is full to the brim with the supernatural, it feels so very, very English. I'm not sure I can explain this paradox, but the world it is set in is incredibly real, rather than 'speshul magical world' or 'soap world'. Everything looks, and everyone behaves, the way real things do. Do you know what I mean?

Anyway, loved that George was both adorable and a jerk, loved the new vampire couple (esp of course the scene with Daisy and her daughter), and the new Bad Guys are seriously NASTY. Oh, and I am very grateful that Nina spilled her secret already.

Darn, must run. But I ♥ this show so much! :)

And it'll never stop amusing me that everyone - even Rssilon himself - knows *exactly* who it's talking about! (Worst. Breakup. Ever.) TheirLoveIsSoNotSecretOnGallifrey!

Hee! Even I can see it; and I'm so not a slasher! Though I love the Doctor & the Master. I recently watched a 3/ master episode; so I don't think it's just DT & JS...

Oh it's very very nice. Can I snag? Not sure it needs a caption to be honest, it's fine just as it is. :)

Hep yourself! It's cropped from one of the promotional photos-- it's helping convince me that 11 is really the Doctor.

Ooooh no, it's been there ALL ALONG! I shall quote my authority on this matter, selenak:

Mind you, the Master is also the most persistent stalkerish ex boyfriend ever. Angelus has nothing on him. The original intention, back when the character was introduced in the Third Doctor's era, was to provide a Moriarty to the Doctor's Holmes, i.e. an arch nemesis on the same intellectual level, a shadow alter ego, but the two actors at the time were real life bffs, something of that chemistry carried over, the writers must have caught on, and quickly we got "former best friends" backstory which isn't Holmes-Moriarty at all. The slash factor varies depending on the incarnation and writing through the DW decades, but for my money the two of them were past plausible deniability for anything but exes early on. When New Who reintroduced the Master, with all the writers including the headwriter being Old Who fans, it wasn't surprising that the subtext went main text pretty soon.

Also, here is what might very well be the BEST Doctor/Master vid ever:



Help yourself!
Ta! *snags*

I know how you feel. I keep re-watching the S5 trailer, just to have *something* to focus on... ::is impatient::
