Had to have myself a little rewatch of The Empty Child to get a good look at the inside of Jack's ship, so I could work out where to make him have sex with himself (not easy, in that ship - it has a distinct lack of flat surfaces and the bunk's too cramped for anything!) and I started thinking about Rose and her "Very... Spock." And then her introduction of the Doctor as Mr Spock.

And I was thinking, it's a bit daft for her to say his ship looks very Spock, when he looks (and is) far more Kirk than Spock. But then I realised she ended up calling the Doctor Spock and that way it makes sense: the alien with the big ears, and the flirty, human Captain.

Huh. Am I really dumb for not getting that before?

In other news, Jack and Jack are going full steam ahead. The fic is now at 2,150 words and I'd like to get to bed at some point but it's still coming out of my head and there's no point trying to sleep until it slows down a bit!

ETA: at 2,721 words and seven minutes past midnight, I'm calling it a night. Who knows, at this rate I may finish this thing tomorrow!

Wrote this last week and keep forgetting to post it!

( The Parting Of The Ways )

I didn't remember as much of this one as I thought I did. I remembered the games, but not how much of the episode they took up, and I didn't remember the 'Controller', or just how the Daleks made themselves known…

( Review of Bad Wolf )

Some good bits in this one, but it didn’t feel very original and that brings the score down for me.

( Review here )

Just watched the Doctor Who Confidential (BBC3 are showing them along with the episodes) for The End of the World, which goes beyond that episode and into the realm of previous Who aliens and monsters, and it was lovely to see interviews with Peter Davison and Tom Baker (there was a bit of Colin Baker too, but he's just gross now so that wasn't so lovely), and clips from their series.

Sorry, not much point to that - I just wanted to share.

And after that, ( Naked Captain Jack )

I'll stop spamming now. As I said, just wanted to share :-)

This episode has some good ideas, and creates some great characters (including our first meeting with Captain Jack Harkness, some would have us believe *grin*), but it left me a bit cold.

In other news, my 'DVD commentary' of becky_h's Change is now up here.

Since I’ve finally discovered that both UKTV Gold and BBC Three are actually showing season 1, I decided it was time to watch it again, something I’ve been wanting to do ever since seeing Torchwood and Captain Jack again. (And yes, I know I could just buy the DVDs, and I will eventually, but I do object to the prices they ask for them and am trying to wait till they’ve come down a bit.)

So…
