It's as common as something that nobody knows

The essays have ben conquered. Oh yes. As of 11.45 am, too. TRIUMPH!

In completely unrelated news, I hope all the Torchwood fans on my friends-list are already reading this, but I'm going to rec it anyway:

inthesestones. It's a collection of IMs, emails, reports from the Torchwood team, interspersed with prose interludes and it's just gorgeous. Although rather Ianto and Jack centric (not that I'm complaining), it's really good for all characters - I'm particularly fond of the IM conversations, which tell us more about the characters than the ones on the Torchwood website - and it manages to show how the team changes over the course of series 1. Very, very highly reccomended. Also! It's worth seeing the journal *itself*. The graphics are quite neat.

Speaking of Torchwood, I am now only missing the middle five episodes of series 1 of New Who. Huzzah! And I just watched 1x04 - Tosh's met the Doctor! And am I the only one who'd thinks it would be cool to have her try to ask Jack out about the Doctor? Just, you know, mention this humanoid alien she met once, very nice, calls himself the Doctor, and have Jack spazz out completely? That would be amazing.

Then again, I just really want Tosh fic. You know what would be amazing? Tosh/Mickey. *nods* Or, you know, Tosh/Hot Police Woman from 1x08. Tosh needs more love, really she does. Everyone forgets how awesome she is - and snarky!

In other news, I wish I could take my friends with me back to England. I was over at Tess' last night, and I'm going to miss her. Again. Not to mention Rasmus, who I also saw today - we went up to the baker's and had tea and cookies and generally acted about 50 - and Oskar. And Sofie. And I'm terrible at phoning people just to talk, which is silly, because I enjoy just talking, I just...I'm afraid of phones. They're freaky.

ETA: John Barrowman is made from pretty - not that that's news!

Exactly!

Hehe, too true. S'why fandom's so awesome, no?

I'm up to Dalek and then I've seen all the Jack Harkness episodes. I'm currently being blocked from MegaUpload (unfair!) for having exceeded my download limit. But soon. Soon, I will have 1x07 and 1x08 and geek will be me.

They complement each other wonderfully; I was just watching Dalek this morning, and wow! Firstly, gnah, Nine is just amazing; the scene where he thinks Rose is dead? *wibbles* It also shows how they need each other - the Doctor needs a companion to *stay* "human", or rather, compassionate.

I have quite a fondness for Mickey in Boomtown and Aliens of London. He's good in a pinch, he is.

Okay, I'll remember not to spoiler you for them, then. :-) Just wondering, where do you find the episodes and how good is the quality?

I need to rewatch Dalek. But yes, that's exactly why the Doctor needs a companion. Have you seen The Runaway Bride yet? Donna sums it up perfectly - he needs someone to stop him.

Okay, he *was* pretty handy in Aliens of London, but it's just sad to see him come running every time Rose wants him to. He should move on.

Uhm. Can't say - though if you give me your email, I can email you the url. The quality is standard avi. as far as I can tell.

Nope, not yet. But Dalek is amazing, it really. Dammit, I miss Christopher Eccleston (I liked Rose better with him, as well. She grates on me a bit with Ten. Argh. Why must I have such issues? ;))

True, but I still think he was incredibly *brave* and *sensible* in not going with the Doctor and Rose in World War Three. It just...I like the average guy sometimes, and Mickey's so very human.

Right. fandom.addict@gmail.com :-)

I miss him too. One season is just not enough. And I'm convinced that it's Ten's fault that Rose seems different, too. She was pretty awesome in The Satan Pit.

I guess he was, yeah. I'm just not that fond of average guys. That's also why I don't like Rhys that much. They're just there. I think I like Mickey a bit more now, actually, than I did the first time I watched the episodes. Perhaps I was just determined not to like him because he interfered with my OTP. :-)

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

I know! Damn it, Eccleston, one more season would've killed you?

I like 'em in some contexts - for example Mickey. I kind of like Rhys, but not that much - he's not really a character so much as a plot device for Gwen (incidently, I kind of feel the same way about Diane).

And Mickey doesn't *really* interfere with the OTP - I think both Mickey and Rose know, by World War 3, that they're not going to work out. It takes them a little longer to admit it, but I think they know.
