Doctor Who Cheesorama

[lesbiassparrow]

I am watching the TV movie from 1996 which is filled with awesome cheesiness ('You can call me...master' followed by glowing green eyes. Wonderful stuff).   Yes, Grace did kill Seven, but she didn't mean to.  Poor woman, I bet it traumatized her endlessly.   

ETA: Oh, I'd forgotten the windmill arm acting!  Paul McGann got in some great moves there.   

ETA 2: Do they ever explain anywhere why the Doctor has a sudden fondness for living in a psuedo-Gothic cathedral?  Other than a sudden church fetish, that is. 

ETA 3: The master coming down the steps is so very excellent.  All lovely posing and hugging of the wee boy he has picked up. It is so very wrong and somehow so very right at the same time. 

ETA at this point I am no longer counting: Why does the theme music of the TV movie sound like the bastard child of the original theme by way of a Nazi marching band? Why?  


And regarding fanfic for X-men universe (there is no connection here, but just go with it) - why would anyone want to imagine Wolverine writing a poem?  I bet he'd shred anyone who ever came within 50 feet  of him even bearing a poetry book.  Also I encountered baby fic; that is so many shades of wrong.  Why must babies pervade everything, including the lives of semi-feral mutants?*

*not that I hate babies or anything: they just have a time and a place.

Wolverine is not writing poetry. He Sexes You Up with his EYES.

Totally OT (except I so have to get ahold of the McGann movie -- I quite liked him despite the badness of the movie and am tempted to start on his audiobooks) -- a few weeks backed you mentioned you were working on a Sarah Jane/Rose piece, and I just wondered if that was out yet? (Also that you'd read some good other ones -- I've read two by neadods and one by doylesb4 which were all lovely but wouldn't mind finding more . . . )

BTW, I did write the Sarah Jane meets Jackie scene I promised -- and thought it tremendously mediocre, so I'm hoping inspiration and ideas for revision will strike at some point.

I looked up how much it would cost me to get a DVD, looked at the reviews, shuddered, and moved on.

Dammit, now I have to watch the movie again. *sigh* You know you miss Eight badly when you have to watch the movie.

Babies footnote is so true. *sigh*
