Christmas Special

[donutsweeper]

Just saw the Doctor Who Christmas special.

Nonspoilerly reaction is- I think I enjoyed it more than I've like DW in a long, long time.  Although.... *facepalms* at effects.  The creature-things (face of badguy, body of I'm not sure what)  were what I would have expected back in the days of the first or second Doctor. 

In the musical "Annie" the not nice woman running the orphanage is Miss Hannigan, I assume the similariaty in name was planned?

I liked "Jackson". As I said in my reaction post: He has the memory loss! He admires the Doctor to a ridiculous degree! He looked at a screwdriver and thought, "This doesn't really need to be any more sonic."

And the way that Rosita and Jackson wound up being the Doctor's companions...well, it worked for me.

I thought about Miss Hannigan, too. :D

I liked it. Rose and Jack helping the Doctor against one of his oldest foes (okay, a different 'old foe' but still an old one and a metal one!)

And yeah- I grinned about the screwdriver too

He has a wife and son he doesn't know about! Oh, wait. Hmmm....

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

oh yes... hmmm is right. The Doctor has a daughter (living) he doesnt know about and had a wife/love/special someone...

Jack seems like the type to have an ex-spouse who would wipe his memory to resolve a custody dispute, don't you think?

oh dear, don't give RTD any ideas!

[taffimai.livejournal.com]

*blinks* RTD is on your flist?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*hee* no, but it's my firm belief that once an idea is out there you're asking for TROUBLE because it's just floating there, waiting for someone to act on it

Awwww, that's no fun.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

raising the red cloth infront of the bull and shaking it eh?

Dare people to write it. *nods*

[taffimai.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well I like crack.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

crack? Who'd ever want to write that? Or read that?

*snickers*

[taffimai.livejournal.com]

*giggles* Your icon has Jack!boobies!

Speaking of, crack fic rec: One morning you wake up and realise what that last woman had meant when she said she was on birth control. (http://sepia-words.livejournal.com/6077.html)

that's from a genderswitch (among other) crack in a story I wrote that rustydog drew for me.

Jack and the Ultimate No Good Cracktastically Clichéd Very Bad Day (http://donutsweeper.livejournal.com/68792.html)

oh dear- that sepia story is crack but heartbreaking at the same time

He looked at a screwdriver and thought, "This doesn't really need to be any more sonic."

*chokes with laughter*

[travels-in-time.livejournal.com]

That cracked me up--him looking at the screwdriver and saying, "Well, it...makes a noise." *tap, tap* "That's sonic."
