The Idiot's Lantern

Aaaargh!



I hated this episode with a passion, and I really wanted to like it too.
I have been defending Tennant until quite blue in the face and this is how he repays me? Bastard.
Anywasy, picspam!:


Arse shots


Adorkability


Gratuitous crotch shots (mesmerising as it was, don't get me wrong)

and


TEH SPECS AGAIN

Do not in any way make up for


The WTF? moment of DOOM FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE.

Seriously, Rusty and David, I really am trying. Please don't do this to me, because I srsly LOVE Ten. And I would like that to be for reasons other than just TEH PRETTY. And TEH PRETTY is pretty much all I have at the moment.
I am full of h8 right now.






I will try to calm down at some point in time and indulge in actual fanalysis.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! AAAAAARGHHHHHHHHH!

Rose didn't annoy me at all, which was a bit of a surprise.
Yes, that was quite surprising, though it always grates on me when she suddenly knows stuff.
I love Tennant, I really do, but I think he's really being thrown to the wolves at the moment in terms of characterisation, which must suck. I stayed up until one o'clock in the morning yesterday defending Ten and that really pissed me off, mainly because this episode really didn't do him any favours. I don't want to have to defend my love of Ten all the fucking time, but the writing isn't helping there at all. And so I get accused of being distracted by pretty, and that fills me with h8. Grrrrrr.

At least this time we hand the Jackie dating a sailor handwaving, which beats the mysterious unexplained Koh-i-Noor knowledge. And my cousin married a sailor, and so I have picked up far too much useless naval information from family dinners, so it didn't seem nearly as out of place.

I can see why you are angry, but since I found only that one bit to be particularly bad, I find it easier to gloss over. Or something.

I'm going to watch it again tonight and see if it redeems itself. I'm sure I'll feel better soon.

It's not that she knows stuff, it's that she knows stuff she has no reason to know. Fuck, I'd expect her to know topical trivia and maybe what days the Post Office is full of old people getting their pensions and the exact difference between a size 12 and a size 14 and stuff about hair-dressing.

Course, fitting that stuff into the plot could be tricky.

Yeah, all the members of 5ive, how bra sizes work, the difference between wax and gel. That last one could be useful for slutboi.
