Everything that's a spoiler is behind a cut.
Otherwise, it isn't. :3
So, last night, when I became Internet-less, I decided to finish watching everything I had of Doctor Who on my hard drive, which was the whole second season and the very first Doctor Who episode. The 1x01 of Doom. :3
All in all, it was one heckuva ride.
It was very interesting how the pacing of that first episode was... well, slow. Slow to the point of annoyance. Seriously, I was nearly headdesking with all those pointless pauses and redundant dialogue. They did in half an hour what they could've done in ten minutes and get some actual plot going on. I mean, even if the ominous shadow outside the TARDIS worked as a cliffhanger, it could've been a lot better.
Of course, I'm aware that 'm talking from this oh-so-modern perspective and probably that was the way things were done back then, because the directors and friends were still figuring things out.
Also, I love the fact that the music theme is more or less the same after all this time. XD
Now, about the revival. I still need to digest some things. But lemme tell you something: there's only one fandom in which I sort of ship-ship something. Most of the time, I don't care about the members of the pairings I like being written/drawn with someone else, and I usually mock people who takes it too seriously. [That fandom, if you're interested, is FMA, and the pairings are Winry/Ed and Riza/Roy (girls first because they kicks the guys' arses XD).]
Anyway, the reason I'm saying this is that I'm glad Rose and the Doctor split out right then. Another season of hugs, smiles, and chemistry would've made me a full-fleshed shipper and I don't want to explore that side of my personality, thank you very much.
I know that was going to happen for the way it stung when they were saying goodbye at the beach. u.u Worst thing is I knew it had to happen, since this show does change all of its cast members after a while. So yeah, it was good they weren't separated later.
F-list, believe me, be grateful. XD
Now, let's see how Martha's like. :3
I also saw the first episode of the second season of Dexter (as in "the serial killer", not the "weird genius kid").
Official word was that the show isn't going to be broadcasted until September but, according to the Wiki, two episodes were leaked. Though I'm torn between whether they were really "leaked" or some smart member of the marketing department is trying to create expectations in theright wrong right way.
The episode itself was good. The characters are recognizable and leave you still wondering how in the world a serial killer can be that sympathetic. o_o Which is in itself creepy and that's why I like the show. Part of the charm is that you don't know if you want to hug Dexter or run away from him as far as possible. Though, theoretically, most of us would be safe from him, since he only hunts other serial killers.
...and now that I think about it, how's that so many serial killers end up in Miami? Oo? Really, unsafest city evah. Even more than New York with its enhanced, exploding humans.
...and now I'd love Dexter trying to have a go on Sylar. *headdesk* Dex doesn't stand a chance against Sylar, true, but it'd be... Dunno, maybe Dex'd think of it going down with honors or something. Any takers? Please? >w<
Finally, I also watched the Transformers movie. Now, all I know about Transformers I learnt it either from wikipedia or the second-hand information my brother gave me while on the line. I don't have the faintest idea of how the fandom is reacting, but I've seen people on my f-list who've been there longer and the reactions seem to be quite good; I'm taking that as a guide.
Either way, I only have one thing to say:
Transformers the Movie >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> HP5 The Movie.
Total pwnage.
And if I end up writing the Transformers/Knight Rider crossover, it's Nina's fault.

I liked the plot of the second season final, but the execution was too emo for my taste. D:
Transformers the Movie >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> HP5 The Movie
YES. ♥ But I'm not a Transformers expert, just an '80s kid with lots of nostalgia. XD

It's going to take me my whole life, right? XDI liked the plot of the second season final, but the execution was too emo for my taste. D:
I know. I blame the POV. A more objective one would've be better. And less emo. :P
I'm not a Transformers expert, just an '80s kid with lots of nostalgia. XD
I'm not even that. I mean, Transformers didn't grab my attention that much back them. Which now I find weird, since they were robots and I loved Mazinger.

What I do is watch random serials that spark my interest. I saw the one that comes right after the first episode (with cavemen!) and The Aztecs. They're slow and cheesy but I liked them both. And now a friend recommended me the Second Doctor serial The Mind Robber, but I didn't have time to watch that one yet...
