Unfeathered Notes

I've been thoroughly enjoying my foray through Nine's single season for the first time in what must be several years. I hoped to post more, but found I didn't actually have much to say, except how much I'm enjoying it. For the record, though, if anyone's interested, my original S1 reviews can be found here.

But Boom Town, tonight, made me really want to squee a little on how amazing it is, even after all this time.

( Cut for length )

Had to have myself a little rewatch of The Empty Child to get a good look at the inside of Jack's ship, so I could work out where to make him have sex with himself (not easy, in that ship - it has a distinct lack of flat surfaces and the bunk's too cramped for anything!) and I started thinking about Rose and her "Very... Spock." And then her introduction of the Doctor as Mr Spock.

And I was thinking, it's a bit daft for her to say his ship looks very Spock, when he looks (and is) far more Kirk than Spock. But then I realised she ended up calling the Doctor Spock and that way it makes sense: the alien with the big ears, and the flirty, human Captain.

Huh. Am I really dumb for not getting that before?

In other news, Jack and Jack are going full steam ahead. The fic is now at 2,150 words and I'd like to get to bed at some point but it's still coming out of my head and there's no point trying to sleep until it slows down a bit!

ETA: at 2,721 words and seven minutes past midnight, I'm calling it a night. Who knows, at this rate I may finish this thing tomorrow!

Wrote this last week and keep forgetting to post it!

( The Parting Of The Ways )

Another strong episode with some really, really good bits in it.

OK, at this point I realise I don't have a S1 Captain Jack icon. Oh, well, 'Lick Here' will have to do instead.

Hmm. For some reason, this episode took me an hour and ten minutes to watch. Can't think why. I'm sure it wasn't anything to do with the fact that I had to keep rewinding so I could watch every scene with Captain Jack in three or four times…

(Note: icon chosen because this episode was a bit 'pants' *g*)

( Review of The Long Game )

Hmmm. Seriously lacking a Ninth Doctor icon here (and no, I don't want one, because he's not pretty enough to make me get rid of a Ten or Jack one), so using my beautiful Ten-on-the-phone one because I never seem to have a suitable opportunity to use it and it's far too pretty to just sit there being unused.

( Under the cut )

Some good bits in this one, but it didn’t feel very original and that brings the score down for me.

( Review here )

This episode has some good ideas, and creates some great characters (including our first meeting with Captain Jack Harkness, some would have us believe *grin*), but it left me a bit cold.
