Dr Who stuff

[erilyn]

This is me distracting myself with a little picspam and music.

One thing I've been looking forward to during study and exams (well, even longer really, but especially the last two weeks) has been this week's episode of Dr Who.

JACK'S BACK! I've (heh, who hasn't?) been waiting for this since "Parting of the Ways"



his little face! they left him behind! *sob*


and then dying to see it since the 160-odd days since "End of Days" aired. (my reaction still amuses me)





> Youtube file of those vital 30 seconds :)

I flailed in glee watching the trailer last week - except the "Doctor"/"Captain" exchange made me SAD because they're so cold and distant, but that just makes me want to see it MORE. It's possible I'm over-invested in this.

Actually, it's been a bit of a problem. As much as I've enjoyed this season (and I have!), I've been wanting to rush through the other episodes to get to these final ones. And I never did get around to writing the "Five Things That Didn't Happen After the End of Days" that I have plotted out (what a suprise!).

Now for some random pictures.









He has a tiny chocolate dalek!

(sorry, couldn't resist *g*)

A number of these pictures I've only obtained today, from the fabulous picspams that crunknwj has been doing. Check 'em out, for a hilarious recap of Jack's adventures thus far. Also, many of the screencaps originally came from http://torchwood.time-and-space.co.uk/

I've still got the whole Dr Who soundtrack available here, but if you're not interested in downloading the whole thing, here's a couple of highlights:
+ Song for Ten: extended version of the song from the end of "Christmas Invasion". I can't stop listening to this.
+ Hologram: some music from "Parting of the Ways" which makes me happy-sad everytime I hear it.

I shared John Barrowman's Christmas concert previously, here's some of my favourites:
+ Amazing Grace/Loch Lomond
+ Save the Last Dance For Me

I don't have to warn y'all not to spoil me or anyone else in the comments, do I? :D

Only about 36 hours to go! And yes, I feel I need to lower my expectations so I won't be disappointed.

Ah well, that's what fanfic is for - to fill in the gaps afterwards ;)

Jack! Wonderful picspam!

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Heh, glad you enjoyed :) Perhaps I should have included a poll on Jack's hair - if people prefer Who or TW hairstyles? ;)

[sperrywink]

Heh, you know how invested we get in hairstyles, you might be opening a whole can of worms.

(Torchwood, all the way!!11!!)

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

I don't think any fandom will rival popslash for hairstyle issues.

Oh wait, Sentinel pwns all possibly (warning for haircuts in stories ::headdesk::).

[trumpeterofdoom.livejournal.com]

What, seriously? Hairstyle warnings?!

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

There were some people (a small but vocal minority) who wanted warnings on stories if Blair's hair got cut.

Seriously.

I can't wait. I don't pay enough attention to schedules the last two weeks' shows I have expected to be THE SHOW. I am very, very ready.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

I knew it was the last three eps, but I was hoping he'd show up at the end of last week's episode, as a lead-in. Alas, we're still waiting (though Blink was fantastic in its own right), but not for much longer!!!1!

I think fandom go boom in a day and a half.

a)OMG BARROWMAN! :D

b)OMGOMGOMGOMG BARROWMAN WITH THE LONDON CAST OF AVENUE Q!!!!!!! With the seriously HOT actors that play Trekkie Monster and Rod! With lightsbers! Eeeeeeeeeeeee!

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Hee, I'd assumed that was Avenue Q :D

Mmmmmm, Barrowman....

[trumpeterofdoom.livejournal.com]

ephemera and I are kind of in love with the Trekkie Monster guy. My second tie watching it, I got first row seats, and got a veeeeeeery good view of him. Mmmmmmmmm.

Ooo, music! Downloading.

I seriously love these two shows. Not without their faults, as with any show, but I can forgive quite a lot. :-)

Thanks for sharing the music!

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Eeeek, only a day to go!

Glad I could share :D

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

HOMG. Thank you for these! Captain Jack is so INSANELY pretty!!

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

For real. I don't understand why he's always having to fight monsters and aliens, don't they see the pretty and just give in?
