The epic story of one of the most rewarding ships of all time, Doctor/Master. It covers all of canon (not including last season) so you can see all their best moments, all the parallels and call-backs.

Fan-made vid based on a BuzzFeed post: What If “Doctor Who” Was American?

This is put together so well, it really captures the DW spirit for me. I'm impressed by how well the clips work! It's Burgess Meredith that really elevates it to something special.


Fic: What She Said (722 words) by Aurum

Summary: "Dude, I'm so sorry," Aoki cries. "If only you had tits, I would do you so hard."

This was written for my prompt in last year's SASO and I love it so very, very much. This is 100% how Kimura and Aoki would be with each other.

I should really have written up my Torchwood finale thoughts before I watched the BSG premiere. I should really have written up my BSG premiere thoughts before I watched the Doctor Who premiere. Too much TV this weekend!

I've been remiss about posting ep reactions ever since I was overwhelmed by the awesomeness that was Lumic. And I've had this half-written since Sunday.

eta: Now with Ten - Snape comment fic by bethbethbeth!

I have never been so spoiled on LJ for a show as I have been for Doctor Who. I don't know why that is. It's not the first time I've been watching a show that aired in Canada a week or two behind wherever it aired first. (We were like that with Angel for a while, IIRC.) I don't even belong to any comms for the show -- this is just my flist.

I realise there has to be some statute of limitations for spoilers else we'd all be cut-tagging "Darth Vader is Luke's father", but I don't think a week and half is too much to ask.

And this isn't directed at any one person since there have been four or five that have spoiled me so far. I even took someone off my flist a few weeks ago because of it.

The audience is so much smaller than for most of the things I'm watching. Is that why, maybe? Less of a "fandom" feeling? Or just the assumption that anyone who is watching is either watching live or not reading LJ until they can d/l the file a few hours later?

Whatever the reason: no love.
