doctor who: the power of three

[usuallyhats]

Nearly typed "the power of squee". ALSO ACCURATE.

- Mainly my thoughts on this episode are FEEEEEEELINGS.

- They are the very beautifulest of OT3s and I don't want to give them up.

- KATE STEWART SO AMAZING. I also love how they've just casually corrected the whole shady UNIT thing from the RTD era. THEY'RE FINE NOW OK.

- Oh, they are being so grown up about the Ponds leaving and it is wonderful and also heartbreaking. How do you choose between those two amazing lives?

- Aw, glad to see Brian again, he is lovely.

- It was just full of delightful moments that made me laugh and/or go "aw" and that I absolutely forgot to make notes about. Like...

- "What do you think we do when we're not with you?"/"I imagine mostly kissing." :DDDDDD

- "Kiss from a Lethbridge-Stewart? That's new." I DON'T BELIEVE YOU. This episode was all about kissing y/y? (RORY KISSED THE DOCTOR. THE DOCTOR WAS PLEASED.)

- Full on sobbing when the Doctor saluted Kate. (Also, not the only time this episode made me cry.)

- I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH ALL THESE FEELINGS.

- Next week's had better be good. *crosses everything*

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

ALL OF THE AGREES.

[usuallyhats]

HAPPY FLAIL!

INDEED.



I was supposed to be doing CS homework today, but I have been reduced to a pile of fannish squee by this episode and I just can't see the appeal of the C++ programming language right now. :P

[usuallyhats]

BEST cast. ♥

Ahaha, I had the same problem! I wanted to read one more chapter of a book on interview-based research, but just couldn't concentrate... :D

They really are, aren't they? That's part of what makes me so sad--that not just Amy and Rory are leaving, but Karen and Arthur as well. :/

It's going to be so much worse next week. I need a doctor's note of a very special kind, one that says that I ought to have extensions on my homework because I am spending the weekend grieving the Ponds' departure with Eleventy and won't be able to concentrate on any sort of math. :P

[usuallyhats]

Yes :( But I hope Jenna Louise Coleman will be adorable too!

:D Good point! I will not plan to do any work next Saturday evening...

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

I expect she will! I'm glad she was in AotD--getting to see how cool she really is made me feel much better about the prospect of a new companion. :)

[usuallyhats]

Yeah, she was brilliant in AotD!

ALL OF THESE THINGS. Except:

Full on sobbing when the Doctor saluted Kate. (Also, not the only time this episode made me cry.)

MY TEARS WERE WHEN HE SAID HE KNEW WHO SHE WAS OMG.

[usuallyhats]

That made me cry too! But that time was fairly restrained crying, not outright culmination-of-all-the-feelings type sobbing.

I want so much to see this, now that I have access to BBC America! However, my TV's out for repairs. *sob* I'm hoping it'll be back by next Saturday, so I can see the repeat.

[usuallyhats]

Oh no! Fingers crossed it's back by then. It'll be worth the wait! (I can't get any BBC channels at the moment for some reason, so it's been the iPlayer for me...)

Do you still have my VHS and book of Downtime? I was looking for them last night before bed and suddenly remembered lending them to you...

(And yes, I do know that I've still got some books of yours!)

[usuallyhats]

I do! I'm so sorry! I've got some time on Wednesday so I'm planning to watch the video then and post both back to you on Thursday. I've just tried to work out how long I've had them for and the answer is embarrassing... /o\

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

That's okay - as I said, I know I've still got some books of yours - couple of DWJ, and aren't the Worrals books yours as well?

And it's about 3 years - or is it 4? :D

[usuallyhats]

They are! I'd forgotten you had them. (My books are spread between my flat and my parent's house, I lose track sometimes... :D)

Three and a bit, I think! :)

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

I thought they were. I confess I've yet to read them - an oversight I shall correct soon and then return them to you.

[usuallyhats]

No hurry necessary! :)

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Heh, okay.
