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.

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

Hee! I have to say rewatching the movie made me a lot more tolerant of any and all writing in Who. There is not much down from this plot.

Though Paul McGann does the best with what he's given. And he is very Doctory at the right moments.

That's what's so tragic. I love Eight dearly, and Paul McGann makes a wonderful Doctor, but I have to wait until I've got someone well and truly hooked on Who to show them his one, solitary bit of film.

Dammit, I want a Three Doctors episode next season.

I don't think it's that bad! (\Or at least there's worse out there in terms of pulling people in - he's not bad looking, at least, and there's money spent on the Tardis.

I won't tell you the worst Who reaction I ever happened to be near, or which Doctor it involved. Because I am still traumatized by the laughter and mockery.

That's true...really, I don't know why I feel that way, because the movie was one of my first Who experiences and look at me now. Perhaps I'm just paranoid.

I have yet to have a really bad reaction -- okay, other than my own to Creature from the Pit. But I think that's universal.
