Consumer joy: I spam because Who deserves spam

[lesbiassparrow]

I got Earthshock in the post today. I go watch Adric die now.  And die of the heat, but, still, companion death ahead!

ETA: Adric still not dead yet. But lots of sadism and the Doctor flinging himself in the path of a Cybergun to save Tegan's life.  And speaking of sadism, they reference that one quite explictly in this episode; nice to know that they were thinking of the children.  And they wrote Adric extra special annoying in the beginning so you'd really dislike him and feel really bad when he gets killed.

ETA 2: As promised there was excellent Cyberleader bottom (funny how I didn't notice this before). No Doctor!  You mustn't save Adric! No!

ETA 3: Adric not saved and went boom!  No loud music over credits.  Just sad picture of Adric's star.  Bye, Adric. You never had a chance to win the Doctor's love, not with Tegan around.   

ETA 4: The commentary for this is every bit as good as everyone said. 'I spent the entire series with my hands in my pockets.' 'Well, you did have a smile on your face all the time.'

Do not forget to watch episode five, noes.

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

I look forward to every minute of it. Every delicious minute leading up t-minus Adric.

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

OMG! They killed Adric twice!

[cryptile.livejournal.com]

Ooh! Ooh! Commentary track! It is the funniest thing EVER. A huge gaping cesspool of naughtiness, especially by Episode 4!!!!

Also, enjoy Cyberleader butt shots. I always do.

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

The commentaries on Who are the best ever, so I'll look forward to this one if it's especially good. (I love the City of Death one where Lalla Ward is so incredibly bitchy about Tom Baker and the one on the Key to Time where Tom Baker confesses his eternal love for Mary Tamm.)

[cryptile.livejournal.com]

Seriously? Man, I gotta check those out now!

This one's brilliant. Fielding and Davison are thorougly evil, Matthew Waterhouse is almost likable, and even Sarah Sutton gets a few good lines. Wicked and rambly and will utterly destroy your ability to take Earthshock seriously after this. Especially when they start ragging on Adric never taking his hands out of his pockets . . .

'Oh, Mary, I loved you then and I love you now.': actual quote from the first story in key to time. It has eternally stuck in my mind.

And the City of Death one is all 'there's Tom hogging the shot.AGAIN.'

[cryptile.livejournal.com]

Okay, that settles it. So getting City of Death.

"What's that thing supposed to be, anyway?"
"Oh, Janet; that's the thing that lets you materialize on a Cyberman's crotch!"

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

Oh my god! I can't wait for it. I am now filled with glee!!!

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

Due to conversation with someone else I realise I may be getting the commentaries for the Leisure Hive and City of Death mixed up (she's on Leisure Hive according to my cover).

[lilly-rose.livejournal.com]

Is that the commentary w/ Janet Feilding making the jokes about a "Matt Finish"? Cause that's just cruel. *snickers*

Seriously? I cried. I admit it! I actually liked Adric. You may point and laugh at me now.

This icon's for you then. ;)

Having watch Adric in action recently, I didn't hate him as much as I used to. Because they are all terribly mean to him - I loved Five telling him that Tegan pretended to hate him because that's how humans dealt with strong emotion. Hee!

I got The Masque of Mandragora. I have a Recent Emotional Shock token to cash in, and am debating whether to demand the Masque or that we finish The Monster of Peladon.

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

Cash that Emotional Shock Token in twice and make them watch them both.

Hanky panky on the Tardis!

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

Hee! Whole new vistas of wrongness were opened up with that phrase. As was with the commentary on the crotch level viewing station of the Cybermen.

[astropoet.livejournal.com]

Now you're overreacting a bit... wrong is a cyberman mpregging the Doctor with the help of My Little Pony (the pink one).. we all know that there was hanky panky going on. What do you think Nine and Rose were up to (oh my eyes my eyes!)

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

It gets very lonely in space.

And the Doctor would never cheat on Rose/Tegan/Romana/Sarah Jane/Jamie/the Tardis with a My Little Pony. Barbie, mind you, might be another question...

*runs away from the wrongness of this conversation*

[astropoet.livejournal.com]

I can buy the Doctor having OTP during his different incarnations but not that ROSE is his only twu wuv. (I don't like Rose as you can tell)

Anyway, he'd cheat with Sindy not Barbie!

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

Aww, I like Rose. But I think about 50% of my flist doesn't so I am used to the hate!

And as a well-travelled man of mystery the Doctor says Barbie is better. She comes with more costumes (though I'll give you ballerina Sindy as quite fine).

[astropoet.livejournal.com]

Sindy has bendier legs...

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

But Barbie has a bigger chest.
