Watch, laugh, love

[donutsweeper]

A Doctor Who video set to the Muppets' song "Moving Right Along" encompassing all the Doctors (through 2008 when it was made) and the majority of their companions giving a humorous look to the Doctor's poor navigation skills.

Watch it, you'll love it, I guarantee it.

Is Turlough in there? But yeah, it's impressive! Also hilarious in a "the more things change..." kind of way.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Turlough is briefly seen two times. Once when Five is running to the TARDIS from some robed people (other Time Lords, maybe?) and in a TARDIS smoking and shaking people back and forth scene.

Me thinks getting into hot water and running from things is a bit of trend in DW

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Oh! I'm distracted by context in the running-away-from-Time-Lords scene. He's running away because--have you seen The Five Doctors?

It really is a trend!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Remember it, no, seen it, yes. There's also a scene with Two and the Brig from it in the vid I think.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

I think you're right!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

It really made me want to go watch tons of Old Who and reminisce

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Definitely! I need to watch more Seven.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I've never seen Seven and Mel at ALL (or Six and Mel for that matter. Or Six other than in "The Two Doctors")

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

I haven't seen much Six at all. Just "The Two Doctors," and, unsurprisingly, "The Mark of the Rani." *g* (Predictable? Me?)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I LOVE that icon!

I need to watch the Rani sometime. (so many things on that list of must watch/read/listen to)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Thank you! I love their expressions there.

Well, "Mark of the Rani" is mostly entertaining for her opinion of the Doctor and the Master.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I really think it's interesting to see how the different Doctors relate to the different Masters, all those actors, directors and writers and (in old Who anyway) there's still a kernel of similarity there.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Yes! Very much so. And I'd say Ten and Simm!Master have their similarities, too.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Some, but not as many and there's a different.... sense between the two men

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

It'll be interesting to see if we get a version for Eleven, and how they react to each other.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

YES.

(I want canon Eleven/Jack more than I want Eleven?Master though)

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

I want canon Eleven/Jack

YES PLEASE

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Oh! Didn't see this! Yes, even *I* want canon Eleven/Jack more than Eleven/Master.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Wowsa, that is something!

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

I watched that in May, screencapped it, and had a picspam/reaction post half ready when I got busy. Must dig that up. I agree about the Rani's opinion of The Boys! Also... well, I won't spoil it for Donut. But OMGRUSTYSQUEE.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Oooh, I'll look forward to that!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

the library doesn't have Mark of the Rani, but Netflix does so I'll make sure I get to it soonish!

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

Is that the one where he's been made President and he's escaping? Wait, that was Four, wasn't it? Hmm. I know I saw The Five Doctors, but the plot was so not the point for me. Heh.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

the plot was so not the point for me

bwhaha, me either!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

That was the one! But yes, Four was President too, briefly.

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

I remember Four being President because he came back to Gallifrey in, oh, what was it called, Invasion of the Time Lords? Dangit, all those titles are the same! It was Leela's last episode. Anyway, he came back and claimed his Presidency (and his sash and helmet and, ahem, staff) so he could do some really tricksy stuff and foil the dastardly deeds of the current threat.

But I do remember Five running from the responsibility. It's funny how nobody who enjoys life wants to be the President of Gallifrey! I just listened to a Doctor Who Unbound audio where the First Doctor was trying to weasel out of it, too.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Wikipedia says it's "The Invasion of Time." But yeah, all those titles run together!

The First Doctor got offered it, too? I didn't know that!

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, the Invasion of Time, that's it! Ha, I was closer than I thought.

With the First Doctor, it's hazy because it depends on how much you accept the canonicity of the audios, and then even within the story itself, there's some weird perceptual stuff going on. His uncle (who was younger than him because of a regeneration, heh) was encouraging him to accept the Presidency, but by the end I'm not even sure it happened. But Susan may have been the President. It's so confusing. There was, however, a talking elephant. So it's all good.

There was, however, a talking elephant. So it's all good.

I laughed so loudly at this I woke the cats

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

Whoops, I apologize to the kitties!

As Classic Who fans, we have lots of practice focusing on the good parts and letting the rest slide, don't we? *g*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Absolutely!

Kato, who had just gone to sleep after eating as he lamented his most recent lost toy (if he eats the fly he can't play with it anymore unfortunately) has decided to take getting woken up in stride and check out the ol' food bowl again. Never know what might have shown up in it in the last 3 minutes

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

Oh, the life of a cat! So simple. New wonders all the time.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

and comfy window sills to sleep in

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Bwahahaha. The talking elephant makes EVERYTHING better.

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

I know, right? Even better, it was one of Hannibal's elephants. And it was a captain in his army.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Of. Course. It. Was. The audios always sound like the best kind of crack!

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the audios have some primo crack. They're only restricted by the medium of sound and the listener's imagination! They also have some quality drama, but it's nice that there's a mix. :)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

I even have some of them, I just haven't listened. I should remedy that!
