time and relative dimension in space

Man, everything I want to write meta about is years late.

( in which I talk about character arcs and why 'this is me, getting out' is one of my favorite Martha moments )


TL;DR: Martha is awesome, "this is me, getting out" is a fabulous line, and the writers mostly squandered a fantastic character arc so I have to rationalize it out of bits and pieces.

I can has disjointed opinions?

There were things that made me go "glee!" Like ( SPOILERS OF GLEE )

There were small, minor things that bothered me. Like ( SPOILERS OF WHY? )

And then there was the mind-boggling bad. Like ( SPOILERS OF WTFNO )

I just...*flails a bit more* It was very disjointed and my reaction to it is also very disjointed. I'll rewatch it eventually and form a more coherent response...but can I just mention again how glad I am RTD is giving up the reins?

...but today was a very silly day at work, so that helped me recover, at least.

...I need a "Donna Noble, Most Important Woman In The Universe" icon. Or maybe a Doctor!Donna icon. Or both!

In conclusion: why is it impossible for the new Doctor Who universe to have any adult women as main characters without their being in unrequited love with a man?

Company was incredibly awesome. And Raul continues to own my soul. And I cried. And I'm going to rewatch it tomorrow. ♥


But in the meantime:

( spoilers for Torchwood 2x07 Dead Man Walking )

In conclusion: MARTHA! And I am now convinced of Jack/Owen's Epic Love. And child actors are always creepy. And MARTHA!

Happy Beka Day, Singles' Awareness Day, Valentine's Day, Ingest Your Weight In Chocolate Day, February 14th, or whatever else you celebrate. Or don't, as the case may be.

Now on to the good stuff: last night's Torchwood episodes! And tons of capslock abuse!


MISS MARTHA JONES!

I finally managed to watch both episodes, and now my Martha glee threatens to make me forget everything I wanted to say about them, but I'll try, k?

( spoilers for Torchwood 2x05 Adam )

( spoilers for Torchwood 2x06 Reset )

( non-spoilery general comments on both episodes )

I feel there are things I probably forgot to say, so feel free to remind me in the comments if you like. But MARTHA! ♥ SQUEE WITH ME! ♥ MARTHA JONES!

...also I now have two Martha tags because apparently I can never have too many. Despite the fact that I don't think I tag for any other individual character. *blink* ...I should start tagging for Babs, just to be fair, because Babs is also MORE AWESOME THAN YOU. *tags*

...I want an icon of Martha at Torchwood that says 'I'm surprised a bright and charming girl like you hangs out with these slackers'.

My desire is somewhat hindered by the fact that there aren't really any appropriate pictures of Martha at Torchwood yet.

But I still want it.


...I also kind of want to write tl;dr meta about Roger/Collins in the hopes that someone, sometime, will read it and write some fic for me. But, er. Yeah. Contrary to popular belief, I can actually occasionally resist my impulses.


...I feel like there was a meme I wanted to do, but I can't remember where I saw it or find it again, so, apparently not happening.

Finally got to see Voyage of the Damned.

( First impressions. Spoilerz follow )


And! And! And! Doctor Who Love Meme! Show the love, people!

Iiiiii feel like I've been run over by a truck. Good times. I hate being vaguely sick. I'd almost rather be blatantly sick, because then at least you know what's wrong and people sympathize and let you stay in bed all day and not wonder out loud why you're curled up in a tiny ball on the couch. *flail*



fandom_memes time, bitches!

YAY! The Joyce/Yeats essay is done! Finished! It's five pages of BS and a really awful conclusion, because really what I had to say could be said in maybe three pages but I had to stretch it out, but anyway it's done and I can stop thinking about it!

That was way too many exclamation points!


OKAY. Hopefully tomorrow I will have time to get gifties uploaded for those of you who are awaiting gifties. Today I be selfish; I know when I posted my wishlist a handful of people asked for specific fic requests, so under the cut find a ridiculously long list of prompts for the fandoms/pairings/whatevers I have been craving most recently.

( some of these I don't think anyone on my flist writes, but oh well! )

I'm not actually expecting anything (although kawaiispinel already wrote me TOTALLY AWESOME Olive/Alfredo fic of the UTTERLY PERFECT kind), but just so it's out there, y'know?

...yeah, I'm gonna shut up and go to bed now.

...I signed up for the tindogs_fic ficathon. Does anyone have any idea why I did something that dumb? Srsly, why do I sign up for ficathons when they just end up stressing me out?
