dangermousie | Doctor Who OTPness and anime splurge (Reply)

Saw the second part of the Doctor Who two-parter. So good. Much better than the first part. Ohhh, and so much OTPness. The look on Doctor's face when the Mum insists he can't guarantee Rose's safety. And when he doesn't want to implement his plan because he can save the world but "lose you." And Mum (who is so UK's equivalent of White Trash) insisting to Rose that Rose is infatuated. Heck, if you are inclined this way (and I am), the fact that the Doctor doesn't like Mickey (not only does he keep calling him Ricky instead, but the one time he does use his name, he calls him "Mickey the Idiot") could also be an indication. The thing is, I love that the Doctor is so attached to Rose: there is a hard and desperate edge to him, and I think she is one of the few things keeping him even-keeled.

Rose's Mom annoys me, as she is helpless, useless and whiny. I do think it's not much of a choice for Rose: staying in the council flats or travelling the Universe? Come onnnn.

I have also majorly splurged and got GetBackers, Harukanaru, Orphen, Saiyuki, Slayers, Gungrave, and Generator Gawl. Though I can't wait to get my hands on FMP: TSR first. And I am thinking of rewatching Trigun and Fushigi Yuugi first anyway, as I am done with all the anime I have, except for the last part of Rurouni Kenshin, which I heard isn't as good as the rest, so I am in no hurry.
