I get taken hostage and almost get killed and they're throwing you a party, mysteries of the palace

Because I missed yesterday, you get two days instead of just one.

Day 07 ♥ Least favorite episode of your favorite TV show

*considers*

A lot of the episodes that LOST fandom hates, I love. ("Exposé", for instance. You guys. Razzle freakin' dazzle.) However, there is one episode that I agree with popular hate on, and that is "Stranger in a Strange Land".

I don't understand the point of this episode. I mean. Wikipedia's description includes the line "Flashbacks explain the origin of Jack's tattoos." Please point me towards one person who was at all interested in the origin of Jack's tattoos. Why would you spend an episode on that, I can't even.

Day 08 ♥ A show everyone should watch

*pimps out "Kings"*

It's a loose retelling (emphasis on "loose") of the Biblical story of King David, set in a contemporary-styled fantasy kingdom called Gilboa. And it's fantastic. The dialogue walks a fine line between Shakespearean, Biblical, and modern, the characters are all fascinating, nuanced, often horrible but ultimately sympathetic people, the worldbuilding and mythology is intricate and well-planned-out. And also I'm so in love with Jack/Joseph it continually blows my mind.

Also also, Ian McShane.

Day 01 ♥ Your Favorite Quote

That is the dematerializing control. And that, over yonder, is the horizontal hold. Up there is the scanner, those are the doors, that is a chair with a panda on it. Sheer poetry, dear boy. Now please stop bothering me.

The First Doctor, explaining the TARDIS control room to Steven. And it is just such a fabulous encapsulation of both the Doctor and the TARDIS, I love it.

I think it was to show the "dark side" of Jack. But as far as compelling tattoo stories, it kind of sucks. I mean, it's a FORBIDDEN tattoo, lol. What? It's not like I dunno, he adds something to it every time he loses a patient he thinks he could have saved or... I don't know... a memorial of someone he loved. It's just a long drawn-out version of "I went on a bender, had a lot of meaningless sex, and got inked."

If they were determined to make Jack's tattoos into an Important Story, there were a lot of other ways they could have done it. That would have been, IDK, interesting, or relevant, or something. This just...did not work at all.

Heee! I had never heard that First Doctor quote before, but that is WONDERFUL. This meme makes me so happy and I am so glad more people are doing it. ♥

I love One so much, especially when he breaks out the sarcasm on people. :D

It's been really fascinating seeing everyone's choices! I hope more people pick up this meme.
