My brain sees this and says:

Oh no! Nine kidnapped Scully and took her to the past, and now she's wearing dowdy period costumes while he's looking all strange with the long hair and they're arguing, because she wants to go back home to make steamy fun times with glasses-wearing Mulder but the Doctor's all "No, we need to stop an alien invasion!" and Scully's all "Been there, did that for nine seasons, so over it! Now take me back to my broody woobie; I don't need two! And if you don't, I'll shoot you. FOUR MORE TIMES until it works."

...My head's an odd place.

For this meme, pick a fictional character and any fandom (excluding the fandom the first fictional character hails from) and I will tell you who is that fictional character's favorite character from that fandom.

For example, if I was given the Tenth Doctor (Doctor Who) and Heroes, I would go:

"The Tenth Doctor's favorites would probably be Ando and Claire. Ando because he tries hard, makes up for his mistakes, never gives up, and is loyal to the end. Because he's a bit like Donna, with his attitude and clear thinking. The Doctor would have a soft spot for Claire, though, because she's brave and true (and blond.) He would totally ship Nikki/D.L./Micah as an OT3 family."


I'm good for anime/manga, tv, book, and movie fandoms, though not for comics. gakked from redbrunja

This is the most fun I've had with fandom in weeks.

I love reading people's campaign speeches and looking at all the eyecandy that people post. Persuasive videos and posters! Enthusiastic icons! SHINY THINGS.

I love my whole flist for making this so fun and participating with me, whoever you vote for. THANK YOU!

Pick up to 10 ships.
Describe them in less than 16 words.
Have your flist guess the ship.

1. In the end, we both get left behind, but I got your back no matter what. -- Kakashi/Sakura, guessed by flibbergibbet

2. I love you even if you're the evil sexy zombie of my sister in law. -- Lust/Scar, guessed by _nepthys_ and redbrunja

3. They rescue each other a lot, and they're the best MSR since MSR. -- Brennan/Booth, guessed by zebeckras

4. We've been friends, enemies, victims/abusers, drinking buddies, lovers, partners, and done courtly romance too. -- Buffy/Spike, guessed by goldy_dollar and zebeckras

5. What happens when the villain accidentally ends up as the epic love interest, cue slow dancing. -- Veronica/Logan, guessed by goldy_dollar

6. She's supposed to fall for quirky guy A, but she's around quirky guy B too much. Oops. -- Penny/Sheldon, guessed by tapas_girl

7. They work not because they're opposites, but because they're so similar underneath. And so hot. -- Katara/Zuko, guessed by misora

8. Role-reversal and fictional reincarnation has never had a sweeter love story. -- Ahiru/Fakir, guessed by zebeckras

9. They backed away from commitment so quickly they bumped into each other. -- Barney/Robin BroTP, guessed by tapas_girl

I'm glad our first sight of post-JE Ten is the same image from the trailer: the Doctor, stepping from the TARDIS, smiling at the world.

( Hhhhhmmmmmmmmm. Merry Christmas! Spoilery reactions inside. )

Overall: An enjoyable, goofy, ridiculous episode about aliens and time travel. Like every other episode, pretty much.

Fanvids crossing the songs of Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog with clips from the show Doctor Who. Why? BECAUSE IF YOU VID IT, THEY WILL COME. Oh yes. Make sure to watch in high quality when available! None of these are by me. Note spoiler warnings.

The ones by MonkeyWithJetpacks are the best, but they're all entertaining, and I think they've covered nearly every song. "Brand New Day" is by far the smoothest melding of the Dr.H music to the imagery/themes of DW, but I really get a kick out of the idea of The Master applying for the Evil League of Evil.

I found a Doctor Who / Sailor Moon Crossover. GOD I LOVE THE INTERNET.

Ten Times The Doctor Met Sailor Pluto

Super Spoilers for, like, a ton of fandoms: (Doctor Who, Farscape, Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, How I Met Your Mother, etc.)

I'd like to join in on the chorus that says how amazing, sweeping, and disturbing this video is. It's a beautiful testament to four seasons of the Doctor's inner demons: pride, arrogance, righteousness, anger, and lack of any form of oversight... it's quite jarring to see it all gathered together so skillfully into a single three minutes. And the song! Such a perfect, perfect song for this. Eerie and slow, then exciting and threatening. It's everything fun and brilliant and beautiful mixed with everything cruel and merciless.


A minor rant to go along:

However, just because I can't leave well enough alone, I have to say that in comments and often in LJ discussions I feel like Ten gets a bad rap from fans. Sure, his god complex is much more visible than the Ninth Doctor's was, but Nine was by no means a saint. I mean...Cassandra? And other times too. And we know by the super magical powers of deduction that Eight was the one who pushed the button on the Time War, and we all know Eight was a sweetie in the movie but he still did it. And I've been assured that the arrogance, superiority, and willingness to just decide things for other people without asking was part of prior Doctors as well. We *all* know that the Doctor's true Gallifreyan name might as well be Doctor McJudge-Your-Ass.

Although it works for me to have the video just focus on Ten (best that way, since visual continuity and consistency is important in a video, and difficult when you've got multiple actors for the same part), this could have been made to encompass other incarnations as well without losing the central message. And sometimes I get tired of hearing how Ten is so much scarier than the others when, frankly, I think the Doctor in any incarnation is going to be this way. Especially now that he's the last. Nine wasn't shy about pulling his authority as The Last of the Time Lords. And just as he tried to negotiate with the Nestene in "Rose", Ten tried to negotiate with the monster in "Midnight". They're the same character in the bad AND the good.


warning: may be spoilers in comments

1. From the "ask the host anything" segment of the Friday Night Project, for David Tennant

Wombats bandmember: "During the act of lovemaking, or bonking, would you ever consider asking your parter to refer to you solely as 'The Doctor' --or 'The Doc'---and if not, would you consider it for the future?"

David Tennant: "Ummm.......I tend to go for 'The Master' in situations like that."


HaahahAHHAHAHA. I like this "ask the host anything" idea.


2. Why is it so many Avatar: The Last Airbender vidders feel the need to make everything on screen go to solid colors, flashing blue then pink then green then yellow tints? It's blinding. It's unncessary. Why is this fandom so obsessed with special effects in their vids?
