Unfeathered Notes

I was looking forward to getting to In the Dark in my Angel S1 rewatch and it was just as much fun as I remembered. But the moment it started, I couldn't help thinking of the similiarites with KKBB. Mainly because they both start with James Marsters up on a roof giving us a nice little introduction to his character. And of course because he's basically playing the same part in both of them. Old shag (I would say love but that's not really true in either case) of the leading man - the dark, mysterious, older-than-he-looks leading man - with whom he has a love/hate relationship. Meeting the team and chatting up the girls (Cordy/Tosh/Gwen) and the girls falling for it, even if only briefly. And there's torture in ITD while in KKBB Jack's just got back from the year on the Valiant. Both episodes even end with another rooftop scene and a sunset! (Or is it sunrise in KKBB? I can't remember. Same coloured sky, anyway!)

I know it's nothing deep, but it amused me, and I can't help wondering how much of the mirroring in KKBB was deliberate!

Nope, sorry, you've lost me with this one.

( Spoilers )

Ah well, at least next week's looks more interesting, even if I'm not convinced by Gwen turning on Jack one tiny bit. *g*

Flying Apart

1. Jack/Giles fic is off for betaing. I cannot describe how chuffed I am at finally having written something long enough to get beta'd again! I expect it'll still need a lot of work, but I'm up for the challenge! :-)

2. To finish off this fic, I seriously need to re-watch Children of Earth and to that end I've just finished my re-watch of TW S2. Which, I have to admit, was a lot better than I remembered. I went into most episodes feeling very ambivalent about them, but came out of the most of them having really enjoyed them.

Especially Exit Wounds, which is one of the few I *have* re-watched since its original airing, but I don't remember enjoying it so much. ( Cut for length )

Anyway. It was good, and I think I'm ready now to re-watch Children of Earth. Won't be tomorrow, because I've got rehearsal in the evening, but hopefully I'll get it in this week, and then still have time to rewatch DW S5 before Christmas. :-)

If anyone's interested, my original reaction post to Exit Wounds is here

Unexpected drabble time!

What's in a Name?

hellenebright has managed to put what I've been trying to say about CoE into much better words than I've managed: here.

Only drabbles, but I'm still pretty darn pleased with myself! :-)

The first was very vaguely inspired by reading donutsweeper's fantastic Big Bang story last night (go read it - it's here) but I won't tell you how because hey! Spoilers! *g*

Oh, it's also a little cracky. *g*

The second was inspired by two of the prompts very kindly given to me yesterday - stackcats wanted Jack Harkness and Inara and aeron_lanart wanted a Jack/someone crossover too with the prompt 'dirt'. This is what happened in my head!

I also started on the Doctor Who/Blackadder crossover for evilawyer, but that's not going to fit in a drabble and I'm not quite sure where it's going to end up! (Well, besides being very, very cracky.)
