Doctor Who episode 3 reaction

[janetlin]

I liked it, really. That was the most Doctor Who-y the show has been in a while and I love it. Not a whole lot of points here but that's a good thing because I didn't find as much to poke at this time around.


* Naaaah I don't like the blond hair on Tom Riley, sorry queer_theory

* Clara geeking out is exactly how I would be if I were a companion. Going back in time and dressing the part and falling all over myself encountering historical figures. Bless.

* lmfao fighting across the river? Where's your quarterstaff, Doctor?

* "Because I am the Doctor. And this is my spoon." *dies*

* "Why do you think me sad?" "Because the Doctor's right: you laugh too much." Hard truth, that.

* really, boys, save yourselves the arrows and let's just get a measuring tape, okay?

* "Perfect eyes, perfect teeth. Nobody has a jawline like that." Awwww.

* .... so, wait, that _one_ arrow is supposed to be enough gold to make a difference???

* OH HELL NO HANDS UNDER THE BED YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR THIS TIME.

Why sorry? I don't like the blond hair on him either.

Edit: I've realized looking at gifs and such that he's actually ginger. Still don't like it.

[janetlin.livejournal.com]

Ah I misremembered when we talked about it last week.

Ginger, really? Hm maybe my screen color is off 'cause he looked pretty darn blond to me (albeit a "warm" blond so maybe).

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

I thought it looked more blonde on my screen too, though when I watched the episode again on my computer, it was definitely more ginger.

[janetlin.livejournal.com]

I loved his devil-may-care attitude and all the laughing, though. That bit was spot-on.

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

I loved everything about it. Even the hair worked in context, though being a Tom Riley fan before makes me not prefer it.

[janetlin.livejournal.com]

Indeed. If I didn't know his natural coloring I wouldn't have minded it at all (and it did really emphasize his Brown Eyes of Doom).

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

BROWN EYES OF DOOM.

OMG THAT'S TOTALLY WHAT HE HAS.

I mean...



Stop it with your brown eyes of doom.

[janetlin.livejournal.com]

And alllll the close shots so his eyes were, like THIS BIG. And HERE HAVE SOME PATHOS. Oh, man.

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

They do that on Da Vinci's Demons A LOT.

[janetlin.livejournal.com]

One of these days I'm gonna give that a try....

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

Maybe you'll like it enough that I won't be the only person with DVD RP characters. :P

[janetlin.livejournal.com]

Damn, you've discovered my clever plot to monopolize you! ;)

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

LOL... My DVD characters are all in a plot with Mollie anyway. I have... four of them, I think? But there are, like, 30 characters on that show or something, so I don't feel so bad.

[janetlin.livejournal.com]

lol the perils of being in a small fandom.

Sort of speaking of which, did you get my message re: the gothic horror thing we accidentally have going on with Kent and Cissa?

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

I did, but I haven't read it yet. I'm in the middle of making cookies, so I'm just checking in every once in awhile. I'll respond when I'm done.

[janetlin.livejournal.com]

COOOOOOOOKIES

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

COOOOOKIES

One more tray and then I'm done. 40 cookies.

[janetlin.livejournal.com]

40 cookies! That's as many as four tens!

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*steals cakes*

[janetlin.livejournal.com]

Noooo, that's terrible!

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

LOL. We amuse me.

[janetlin.livejournal.com]

Me too, I'm giggling for reals.

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

Me too. I'm punchy too, but I think this was actually funny. :D

[janetlin.livejournal.com]

Of course. We are delightful and amusing. :D

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

The icon that accompanies that comment is perfect.

[janetlin.livejournal.com]

David Tennant's face is perfect pretty much all of the time ;)

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

Speaking of Eyes Of Doom.

[janetlin.livejournal.com]

Yes, him too.

And the kid from Love, Actually.

God, what is it about brown eyes?

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

Thomas Sangster's eyes are crazy pretty.

AND BLAKE RITSON.

[janetlin.livejournal.com]

mmmmm

1) The spoon line was the best in a LONG while. Loved it!

2) Previews for next week look sure to creep. me. the. hell. out.

[janetlin.livejournal.com]

2) Right? Ugh. I haven't had a genuine "behind the couch" moment with Who yet but that might do me.
