obsession alert

The bottle smashes into pieces and they both jump. Not bad, as visual demonstrations go.

“It’s an unquantifiable amount of time. That’s huge,” you say, as intense as you can be. They have to understand how serious it is. “For a Doctor, that’s unspeakably dangerous.”

You don’t even have to look at Rose to see what her face will be saying: you’re honest, but evasive, and if you’re coming right out with words like 'unspeakably dangerous' then –

“So basically, we’re up shit creek and the only paddle we have may or may not exist in a different dimension half the time,” Jack puts in, with pitch-perfect snark. You could kiss him.

“Basically.”

I haven't felt this exhilerated by the creative potential inherent in a fandom since BSG. Did I mention I love writing for sci-fi? Omg. I'm flying.

I mean, up until 1x08 ('Father's Day') I was all oh yeah this is entertaining and British and colourful and funny but not much more than that and then everything WENT TO SHIT and got AWESOME and holy shit, you guys, this show is so fantastic. I can't even. And now I'm up to the episodes with David Tennant in them. THERE IS NO BAD HERE.

Nny, meet Captain Jack Harkness. Captain Jack is a bisexual conman from the future.

(I am not making this up. This is his ACTUAL CHARACTER. That is how awesome this show is.)

ARE YOU MY MUMMY?

OMG DON'T EVEN START, 'THE EMPTY CHILD' WAS THE FREAKIEST THING EVER.

AND YET HILARIOUS.

"What are our assets?"

"Well, I have a banana...and in a pinch, you could put up some shelves."

Nothing beats the moment immortalised in this icon, however. I first saw it and thought it was a funny caption for a silly picture but then I saw the episode and...he's actually pulling a solution out of his ass. Best. Ever.

Yes, I am writing a totally overambitious fic. WHEE.

DON'T DROP THE BANANA.

WHY NOT?

GOOD SOURCE OF POTASSIUM!



Empty Child/Doctor Dances is seriously my favorite two parter episode EVER CREATED. SO FUCKING BRILLIANT.



"Rose... I'm trying to resonate concrete..."


AND. I Cannot Wait To See Your Fic! *squees*

WHAT KIND OF PERSON LOOKS AT A SCREWDRIVER AND THINKS "OOH, THIS COULD BE MORE SONIC?"

Fuck, I love Jack. And that whole two-parter. I mean, as a rule I do not like scary. But I loved that.

Uh, it may be a while. Because I have to bash out a whole lot of backstory and time travel theory and really I am just pulling things out of my ass, though I doubt I can look as sexy whilst doing so as Jack does.

Canonical bisexuality FTW, baby!

I am so excited about Torchwood.

Also: I am in love with that icon. Is it shareable?

[identity profile] slutbamwalla.livejournal.com 2006-09-02 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Very much so. I yoinked it from [livejournal.com profile] dw_icons myself.

Ooh, good!fic.

I love Father's Day. Cried a bucket or two. S1 is absolutely fantastic, but I'm a tad more partial to DT's Doctor than CE's. It's not just because of the pretty.

I love them both. DT's is more flippant, more bursting with this raw trigger-pinch energy, but CE's has the reserved edge that is just as good in a different way. Jacob on TWOP described his portrayal as "a contained nuclear blast", which I think just about hits it.

This fic is at 3000 words and groooowing.
