Re: Doctor Who: The Empty Child

Okay, so in the first 10 minutes, we had zeppelins, gas masks, and a kitty.

They're randomly reaching into my brain, pulling out things that make me go "SQUEE," and putting them into a TV show, aren't they?

I was just thinking the same thing.

All it needs is a pirate (and Captain Jack comes close) and it's the perfect TV show.

hey. Do you remember a few weeks ago I said that there was this wobbly from Europe looking to meet some wobblies in Toronto? Well, I was wondering if it was ok if I gave him your contact info (or at least the link to http://www.fairlyunusual.com/) since you're the closest thing to a wobbly I know of in Toronto.

Yep. I can hook him up with the other bad Wobs, too. My contact info is on the website, or give him my e-mail (littlemissnegativity at yahoo dot com).

Not comfy. (Especially given what happens in the episode!)
Very sexy.

Well if they make me sexy...

Although, take what I say with an entire shaker of salt. I once posed for my 'zine wearing rubber, fishnets, and a gas mask. So I can attest to the fact that Israeli civilian gas masks are about the least comfortable things ever.

I am so amused!
During the first gulf war we had to wear them every night so I can attest to the fact that you are right.

I'd dig up the picture, but 'twas taken by my half-blind ex and is rather blurred as a result.

I'd like to insist on seeing it... :P

If I can find it.

Failing that, I'll take a better one.

You must be doing something right then... kind of like deja vu.

:P

Considering the next painting I had planned was of a little kid wearing a gas mask, sitting next to a kitty, I was kind of disturbed.

I'm going to paint it anyway, though.

That episode is genius. Probably one of the best bits of TV I've seen in years.

[identity profile] cdaae.livejournal.com 2005-06-01 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I agree... and the whole atmosphere, and the gas masks, really freaked me out. If I'd watched that at the age of 7 I would have had nightmares for days.

It pretty much had everything. It was creepy, it was moving, it was well shot, the dialogue was good...

I'd MUCH sooner have paid to see THAt in the cinema than sodding revenge of the bloody sith.

It's even better because we didn't need to pay for it. A gift from the Beeb!

The BBC is one of the few things that makes me pleased to be British.

It doesn't quite make up for the whole Empire thing, but it's a good start.

[identity profile] uberbitsch.livejournal.com 2005-06-01 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh, I'm scottish anyway. it's ENGLAND that's responsible for empire.

There's shitloads of reasons for Scottish pride. Bagpipes and those funny sheep come to mind instantly.

Damn straight! And the kilt shop in Edinburgh that makes black leather kilts for men. >:D

But do they make them for women?

As I'd wear one, obviously.

[identity profile] uberbitsch.livejournal.com 2005-06-01 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, they'll make 'em for women too. But traditionally they're a men's thing and my GOD, the number of men who look good in them is astounding.

Alas, I know pitifully few men here who would consent to such a thing. Hogtowners have no fashion sense.

There's a guy who lives on my street who seems to wear kilts most days. He's got an assortment in leather, camouflage, black leather...

AND very good legs for it too.

totally makes up for last week's episode.

I cried during last week's episode. I'm a big fucking sap.
