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?

do you have to tip the wee aliens? Do they accept money or chocolate or...

[aeron-lanart.livejournal.com]

Or. Very definitely Or. I think they might be long lost cousins of the Nac Mac Feegle, though I can't be sure seeing as they're invisible. They like to sneak into people's drinks and drain they dry, obviously with the owner of said drink being none the wiser. So far I've been lucky enough to keep them away from my stash of chocolate.

so they are the ones responsible for that glass getting emptied when you were sure you'd just poured it!

[aeron-lanart.livejournal.com]

Yup, that's them. Sneaky invisible alcohol-guzzling case-carrying aliens.

Do you know if anyone's ever written the Nac Mac Feegle into Torchwood? I'm thinking Torchwood 2 would have to have more than a passing acquaintance...

hmmm, it's vaguely familiar, but I'm not sure if I'm just going crazy or not

[aeron-lanart.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's what I thought. Time to trawl the flist I suppose.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's what I thought

that I'm crazy but it does really exist?

[aeron-lanart.livejournal.com]

Both? *g*
It does sound kind of familiar, but it ain't one of Jades. Hmm.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

it really does. I'm sure it's out there. You could ask at twgenrefinders or twstoryfinder I suppose.

[aeron-lanart.livejournal.com]

Not a bad idea. I might just do that!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

either our sanity will be confirmed, or our insanity...

[aeron-lanart.livejournal.com]

Probably both.

And if it doesn't exist I might just have to write it!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

GO FOR IT!

[aeron-lanart.livejournal.com]

Ehm we were right... and you helped beta the thing! Oh Someone should take pity on our our poor swiss-cheesed memories! I *knew* it had something to do with Jades!

*dies* oh yeah!

(I did mention that insanity thing, didn't I?)

[aeron-lanart.livejournal.com]

I've memmed it now so I hopefully won't forget again! But I'll plead insanity too...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

my brain. it is broke... and the insanity defense is a good one
