Who-vaganza (and book babble)

[dangermousie]

I bring you, picspam of last three eps of S3 of Doctor Who.





Doesn’t he just look like a slightly demented grad student?



Who is all normal-faced about his hand regenerating:



Yup, demented :P



Derek Jacobi, how do I love you!



Ten and Jack, discussing immportality and Rose. OMG, you have no idea how much shippy squee I got from this scene.











Ten realizes it’s the Master, and he’s got the TARDIS:



Trying to figure out a plan:



Regenerated Master. *eeeee, John Simm!!!!*



Ten is captured:





With his equally evil wife, Lucy:



Making the aged Doctor see the destruction of the Earth:



Evil Overlords are not supposed to be sexy, and yet…



Or dancing in their evil fortress. Gosh, he is having so much fun being evil.





And fun being insane. Nothing like waltzing with a wheelchair:





Hot Doc Mulligan, in the Resistance. Martha should hook up with him:



More Master:



Making Ten even older. No, no, I want sexy David Tennant back! (me, shallow? Nevah):



More dementedness:





Crazy, crazy Lucy:



Enjoy your last, non-defeated moments:



OMG, one of my favorite scenes. “I forgive you.’ Whoa. Yikes. OMG. They have such a messed-up, symbiotic, s/m relationship.









Very post-apocalyptic:



















Jack being his immortal self:



Yes, the world is saved:



OK, this is just hot:





Collared:



Ten doesn’t want anyone to shoot the Master:











And he says he will give up travelling and imprison the Master in the TARDIS and take care of him (I guess he really is a Doctor, huh? Man, this would be a horrifying stint, if he did do it. You really get the sense of friendship which just went horribly wrong due to the Master’s insanity. And the sense of enormity of Ten’s loneliness. He needs to be needed.)





Also, seeing that we met The Doctor and The Master, were there Time Lords out there with names like The Plumber, The Antiquarian, or The Stone-Mason? Or maybe The Pole-Dancer.



Lucy shoots The Master:



And the slashers go wild. Ten begs The Master to regenerate but he won’t.













Nothing like a bit of crying to make it all better, huh? I have no idea how they can follow it up on all the cheeriness that started with Doomsday and culminated with this ep, because by this point, the Doctor dug his pit of despair so deep he is going to tunnel through and fall out of the other side of the Earth. Gallifrey, Rose, ‘his human self,’ the Master. I guess they could always give him a dog and then run it over.





















Funeral:



Bye, Jack:



At the end of the season, travelling alone again:





In other news. Overcome by house-cleaning zeal, I brought down all our books from the disorganized messe they were in and organized them into 12 categories (fiction/literature, British literature, history/sociology/biography/science, scifi/fantasy, mystery, Russian language, manga, romance, poetry/plays/essays/sagas, travel, cookbooks, miscelaneous) and put them on booksheleves in order, not double stacked or anything. Mr. Mousie calls it my ‘dorky decimal system.’ Heh. Result? Upcoming trip to IKEA, we need at least three more floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. We must own over a thousand books, which is cool most of the time, but when added to the huge amount of DVDs, creates spece problems for a tiny house. I have also discovered a number of books I didn’t realize I own, and have no idea how, either, e.g. some chick-lit novel about thirty-something friends in Dublin, which has price only in British pounds, so I must have bought it in UK but I do not remember when. Must have been when I visited a friend in Edinburgh in 2000-2001 Christmas break (ever after I went there with Mr. Mousie and had enough entertainment on hand :P) but I swear, I don’t remember buying it. Bizarre.

SO MUCH TO SAY BUT DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START.

It will have to be bullet points.

- I love that scene between the Doctor and Jack.
- I love tryingtofigurethingsout!Doctor.
- The Master dancing totally made the episodes for me
- Personally the aging of the Doctor, really creeped me out, and I too, was shallow enough to want my DT Doctor back.
- I didn't know what to make of Lucy. Whether she was just steamrolled, crazy or thick.
- In the "I forgive you" part, DT looks REALLY uncomfortable in that position. It just looks... awkward.
- Post-apocolyptic scenes lighting was crazy but COOL
- OK, this is just hot: -- OH YES. DT WITH THE TONGUE, AND... *no words* & *right-click saves*
- DT in the final scene with the Master was so great... I mean, with the crying. Ohhhh, so sad.

I can see what you mean about the Doc though. I mean, Season 3 has been hell for him. I don't think he can fall too much further.

OK, this is just hot: -- OH YES. DT WITH THE TONGUE, AND... *no words* & *right-click saves*

Heh. I am constantly amazed that someone can have such a flexible face and yet not look like a monkey or be covered with wrinkles.

- I love that scene between the Doctor and Jack.

It's one of my favorite scenes. In a way, this is Ten with a lot of mannerisms down, walls cracked a little. He treats Jack as more of an equal. They are bold old, wounded, cynical/hopeful. Also, I think Ten, at that point, can let someone in only if they were already in (got in during in pre-Doomsday period).


I love tryingtofigurethingsout!Doctor.

he is so delighted and demented. In a way, he is just a really cheerfully mad scientist?

The Master dancing totally made the episodes for me

That was just delicious. It was actually rather awesome to see the villain who really enjoyed being one. A perfect foil for Ten: both messed up, both hyper and mocking, both hiding true selves and the enormity of their damage.

- Personally the aging of the Doctor, really creeped me out, and I too, was shallow enough to want my DT Doctor back.

Oh yes. And the tent and the dog bowl? Ummm. And then the Gollum-like creature in a cage. My cheering for when Ten came back wasn't just for 'sdie of right won, eeee!' Shallowness was in there, too.

I didn't know what to make of Lucy. Whether she was just steamrolled, crazy or thick.

I think she thought Master was exciting, and fell for him, and went nuty after seeing the future and was kinda evil. I don't really feel sorry for her, but she was like a five year old playing with grown-ups, which...unequal contest.

- In the "I forgive you" part, DT looks REALLY uncomfortable in that position. It just looks... awkward.

I wonder if it's supposed to be awkward. Master is not exactly wanting to participate. The shock and unexpectedness (and emotion) of that scene really hit me though.

I can see what you mean about the Doc though. I mean, Season 3 has been hell for him. I don't think he can fall too much further.

I mean, they basically ran out of things to do to him!

I love the fact that DT is quite happy to look mad and crazy and so expressive and not worry what he looks like doing it. A lot of actor's are too concerned with making their facial expressions "pretty" so they look good on camera.

The Doctor/Jack scene is so lovely, even though I don't ship them, and even though I didn't really care for Jack before Utopia (I was in a minority I'm sure). It touches on the right balance between their former rivalry, their shared history, and their love for Rose. Too sweet.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I don't ship them either (though am amused at the sheer amount of fanfic where the TARDIS is some sort of a permanent setting for a threesome orgy). I liked Jack throughout, but as a secondary character.

[artic-fox.livejournal.com]

LOL. Fanfic makes the Doctor some sort of repressed non-asexual being, and it cracks me up (although I admit I am guilty of reading it. Heh)

Jack, for the first part, didn't appeal to me at all. He seems to glossy and toothy, and didn't hold enough depth for me to really be too interested in him. Sure, I didn't mind him, but he didn't capture my imagination until Utopia. Now I can look back at Season 1 and appreciate his role in it much more.

Donna will slap him a bit and take his mind off all the angst.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Heh. Now I am imagining constant slapping sounds.

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

I hear you on the books thing. I have books tucked into every nook and cranny that can hold a book, and about once a month I'll see a book and go "huh? where'd you come from?"

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yup. Glad I am not the only one.

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Last week, I found 2 books by Haywood Smith, who I've never heard of, and 2 by I think Wilbur Smith(I don't know...one was called Warlock and they seem to be about ancient Egypt)

I have no idea where they came from, despite obviously acquiring them at some point in time...

Now I can borrow!!! It won't be, "Well, it is a good book, if only we could find it...":) I am almost thankful (but not entirely) that I limit my spending on books and DVDs (I either go to the library/inter library exchange/library sale - it's amazing what people are reading - or wait for Netflix), but my taste is more mainstream and I am easily distracted. At least, I tend to remember what I own. Having said that, if I bought everything I wanted, I would have had the same problem. Plus, moving to a new place every few years with all those boxes full of books is bad for my back. During my last move, I realized that I had more boxes packed with various books/textbooks/maps/guidebooks/CDs/DVDs/VHS/tapes than furniture. I am ready to be separated with my furniture if it is old/ugly/unnecessary, but I will never throw away even one textbook that was hopelessly outdated and bought on sale by the time I went to college.

Re: books

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Come over!

And yeah, I only threw one book away and it was some unbearable fantasy which I didn't want to inflict on anyone else.
