ria_oaks | Doctor Who: Voyage of the Damned

Weeee! Lots of fun. I don't really judge DW objectively, I just go based on how much fun I had. And all things considered, that was a lot of fun. Wonderfully cheesy and amusing and over the top. And totally Posieden Adventure in Space, lol. After awhile I was actively watching for each reference... only seen the movie once and it was a year ago, but I wrote an essay on it. ^^ Remember some bits and pieces. The whole "small group of people making their way through a ship", "people heroically sacrificing themselves", and I'm pretty sure PA had a scene with them crossing a narrow bridge and someone falling off? Though I may be wrong. Anyway, fun episode. Loved the whole "cruise ship in space" thing, it looked so wonderfully absurd and ridiculous. I giggled hoplessly at the Doctor walking through the fire, and the part where he's lifted up by the Hosts... sooo cheesy yet awesome. And "Take me to your leader! ...I've always wanted to say that." Too funny. I enjoyed some of the supporting characters; I liked Astrid well enough, and Mr. Cooper was funny (loved his take on Earth history and Christmas!).

How long to s4? *sigh* In the meantime, though, Torchwood s2! Certain awesome guest star (yeah, just in case there's anyone out there who doesn't know...) and John Barrowman on the same screen! Possibly making out! (at least I desperately hope so, and have been since said guest star was announced and he said that it was "steamy and would excite people" or something to that effect. Mmmm...

So yes, long and short of this was, I gave up on watching Pirates half way through (love it to bits, but seen it way too many times and the commercials were a pain AND I don't have my DVD anymore so I couldn't just pop that in to watch it without commercials) and watched DW instead. Did enjoy re-seeing bits of PotC, though... mmm Jack Dav. And Johnny. And Orli. I wanna go read Sparrington now... actually, what I really want, and have since the summer, is good Jack/Norrington/Elizabeth - read one or two, but there isn't much of it that I've seen. And I am oddly intrigued by Norrington/Elizabeth, too. Angsty or not.

Mmm, I want Pirates fic now. XD

Or more Doctor Who. *can't wait until s4* Torchwood will do in the meantime... *is excited for s2 to start* Pretty soon, too!

Anywho... good Christmas, overall. Tomorrow, will hang out and play with my iPod... and maybe watch some Extras (I can't wait to see the Orlando Bloom episode - Mom downloaded it from iTunes ages ago and said that it's hilarious). I also can't wait until my DRD and FS DVDs come... *bounce*
