Couple more thoughts before I go back to work:
1. So I'm still only a little more than halfway through Watchmen, but I have to ask: Where are all the Doctor Who crossover fics, yo? Doctor Manhattan strikes me as the ideal central character and plot device for this, given how he's stopped perceiving time linearly and can fly unaided to Mars and all. Even though Watchmen would have to take place in an alt!verse from the Doctor Who canon perspective, surely he could eventually find a way through the dimensional barriers, too. You'd just have to futz around with string theory/quantum mechanics a bit.
This strikes me as an Incredibly Obvious Thing, but like most of the Things I find Incredibly Obvious (where are all the Cyberman fanvids to "Iron Man", yo?), it doesn't seem to have occurred to anyone else.
I do advocate putting Manhattan in the Whoniverse, though, rather than the Doctor in the Watchmenverse. The sheer mood whiplash of the latter would be neckbreaking. Plus, frankly, Alan Moore's work intimidates me a bit, and I'd rather pilfer his characters than try to inhabit the world he created.
Still. Um. The first person to write me fic where Doctor Manhattan meets the Doctor (preferably One or Seven but I'm not picky) gets internet cookies. Come on, y'all, we cross over our show with everything from Shakespeare to The Magic School Bus, and we do it well. Surely you all can manage this.
2. You know what? There need to be more rock'n'roll fanvids in general. Alt-rock may have more meaningful lyrics and all, but don't deny that a Ten vid to "Supernaut" or that "Draconian Crackdown" vid for the Master I keep going on about would be awesome.
3. Wait, what? Quantum of Solace is already out? WHAT? WHY DIDN'T I KNOW THAT. I AM SO BEHIND ON MOVIES OMG. *flails*
Anyone else seen it so far? Is it good? spoil me not, obviously, but do tell me if it's worth seeing. Which...will probably have no bearing on whether I go see it anyway, but I'd like to know, at any rate.
Also I have heard nothing at all about that Australia movie and now I hear it's almost in theaters or something. Have I been paying that little attention? More to the point, isn't Hugh Jackman in it? I'll be very happy if he is.
4. Have just checked my class schedule for next semester, and while it's a literal madhouse that I'm sure will leave me scrambling by summertime, I also got all the classes I wanted and needed. No drop/add necessary, hooray!
And now back to work. Good night to you all.
