Dr. Who and other things

[alexandral]

- I have written about 70% of the Report for the Project of Doom. But today I felt I need a break and watched 1 episode of Dr. Who (with Christopher Eccleston) because lage_nom_ai was talking about it.

I THINK THIS IS THE BEST SHOW EVER! SERIOUSLY! Where have I been when everybody was watching it? I love, love, love it! Because:

- Dr.Who is quirky and crazy and cute

- Rose is wonderful

- Script is fantastic, really clever but not i-am-so-serious-about-myself

- Jokes are out of this world

- Living plastic - Funny, but mannequins make me uneasy always, they look like they ARE alive.

- The only bad thing is that Christopher Eccleston only did one season. Why? I really think he is great.

I broke into iconmaking spree and made an icon with Rose, and then I kept going and made an unrelated icon from the lovely picture of Sean Bean in Caravaggio which very generous elspethsheir gave me yesterday..

(I don't know if Sean's Bean character is any wild in the "Caravaggio", but this picture in my mind is - he is like some sort of a wild animal here, like leopard perhaps)

-- Icons are free to share

I will not be able to be around much this week because this is the last 10 days before the submission day of the Project of Doom. Have a nice week everyone!

Heee. It's so great to see people get all excited about something!

And good luck finishing the Project of Doom!

Oh, Dr. Who! Christopher Eccleston was wonderful, but really my main reason for watching is Rose, who is a great character, plus Billie Piper is just beautiful. I also adore Rose's mother and boyfriend quite a lot.

Hee! Welcome to the Doctor Who fandom, Alexandra! I got hooked last spring, and yes, Chris Eccleston was probably the main reason why. And then I gradually fell in love with everything else. It's such a treat to finally have it on American TV.

And yes, Mickey and Rose's mother appear in later episodes.

Many people thought that the mannequins were cheesy. Well, not to me! I always thought mannequins were slightly creepy, too.

Yay! I love that you have discovered Dr Who! I discovered it recently as well and raved about it and was so sad about the change of doctors but the new doctor is also fabulous There are some wonderful episodes in season 1. I bet you'll love 'The empty child', 'The doctor dances' and also the finale a LOT. :) Once you've finished the season I'll share some beautiful fan made video clips I have that are just gorgeous and sum up the Rose/Dr relationship so well :'(

PS: I went nuts and collected lots of icons I like (http://koalathebear.livejournal.com/353931.html). :)

I'm so glad that you're enjoying Doctor Who! I had never really watched the past series, but as a fan of Eccleston's, I had to watch. And it's so fun, and sometimes scary, and even sad.

I like Billy Piper; I know that when that casting choice was announced, some people were put off because of her pop singer background, but I think she acquits herself very well, and I'm so glad that she has stayed for #10 too.

Jokes are out of this world

Heeeeeee.

I think, though I could easily be mistaken, that Christopher Eccleston decided early on to only do the one season to avoid typecasting. That could be just one of many rumours, though!

And icon love! May I snag? I made sure to save a few icon spots for more Bean!

You've got to see Caravaggio! Sean's character is more than a little wild; you've got him exactly pegged.
