stunt_muppet: (classic doctor who)
Add MemoryShare This Entry
You know, I've just realized that the last three episodes of Inferno are basically a zombie movie, but with fire extinguishers instead of shotguns. I'm pretty sure there's a bit where the Doctor even tells the alt!Brig to save his ammunition.

Yeah, just got to that bit.

Also, it'd be too much to hope for that there'd be alt!Brig/alt!Benton fic, right? Yeah, I thought so too. But real!Brig just gave real!Benton a rather affectionate look after giving him permission to drag the cranky scientist from his own lab, so I'll content myself with that.

I miss Liz, guys. I wish she had a cameo in the new series. Hell, I wish she got more to do in her own stories. And oh, why doesn't everyone leave their collars unbuttoned all the time? 

Must write that Liz meta I keep meaning to.

Speaking of Things to Watch While Essaying, I don't think I'll ever get tired of The Ark in Space. I'm thinking of watching the commentary track next, but I haven't heard it before, so that's probably not conducive to essaying.

I keep thinking I want to write a follow-up to "The Waiting-Room World", set after Ark, where Vira goes back to Earth and tries to cope with leading what remains of humanity and restoring the world (which isn't what she's been brought up to do or trained to do, and which she isn't sure how to cope with). Only trouble is that the rest of the characters would have to be OCs, although that'd be an interesting additional challenge.

Also I think I'd end up shipping Vira with the First Historian, whom she might end up turning to for guidance after she's revived. Though that seems sort of out-of-nowhere.

Something to consider after all the other stuff I'm supposed to be writing, I suppose.

I was thinking I'd written a snippet of alt!Benton/alt!Brig, but no, it's alt!Benton/Three. It's nothing any good but is here if you're interested.

Ah, Inferno, I love you so.

Oh, jesus, yeah, sorry. It's actually meant to, um, he just beats him up, nothing ends up happening, but it's not clear.

Teach me to link an old snippet without re-reading it first! ::blushes::

No, no, don't worry about it. It's not your fault that ah, I tend to extrapolate. :D And that was more a "woah, I actually like this" 8O than an "oh noes my delicate sensibilities" 8O.

And hey, alt!Benton fic = good, and I'd never have known about it had you not pointed it out to me, so thanks!

I really do wish there was more Liz. She's not as high on my love list as Three's other girls, but she's just TOO AWESOME for just four stories, even if they were all among the best Who ever.

And I hugely recommend any Tom/Lis commentaries, of which I'm pretty sure Ark in Space is one. XD

Thing is, there are substantial portions of her own stories where she...really doesn't get to do all that much. Or is inexplicably ignorant, considering how she's supposed to have like eight degrees, because apparently someone needed to not know what something was even though she could have "explained" it for the viewers as easily as the Doctor could (erm...not that that's the one thing besides the music that spoils The Silurians from being a bit perfect or anything, no). I feel like the writers just didn't know what to do with her, and it's a shame she got so little time.

Now that I've turned in this confounded essay, I plan to spend some quality time with Tom and Lis. Lis on her own is quite brilliant (her Pyramids of Mars commentary was amazing), and I haven't...actually heard a Tom commentary yet. Fun times ahead!

Really, Liz does get shoved into the background a bit more than is fair, especially in that story, yeah. BUT IT'S STILL THE BEST ONE EVER. *pets Silurians* But yeah.

Omg they're so cute. Tom pretty much makes random wild remarks (and I've heard he's particularly crazy in the Ark in Space commentary; I think that's the one where he says he can't remember a damn thing) and constantly dotes on Lis while she laughs at him. I have a lot of bits of their Planet of Evil commentary transcribed somewhere back on my journal. There was much squeeing.

I do love Silurians dearly, don't get me wrong, but Liz not knowing what Pangaea was made me facepalm a bit.

Oh, Tom. He's quite mad, isn't he. But that's okay. :D I actually fell asleep before I could watch much of anything yesterday, but I'm looking forward to hearing them in action.
