101. Wasn't there one like this awhile ago? Which is to say--clearly Twilight Zone is made of awesome and still has oodles of fans. It was the kind of show that taught you lessons, that made you think, and--I'm convinced--could help people become better story-tellers in general. It was just that good, and I heart it many times over.
102. Huh. I'm sure I've heard it before, but when was he in R&J? I totally want to go see him in the two he's in this summer, but I don't think that's one. (And honestly, I think I will be able to tolerate DT as Hamlet. I don't think I could stomache him as Romeo, but it's rare that I don't just want to punch Romeo in the face anyway). Sexy coat, though.
107. Heh.
117. Oh. Oh yes, the fandom is wildly pro-Tennant. That's why I see Tennant-hate everywhere I turn and feel guilty for not despising him or at least wanting him to go away as all the cleverer fans do. Tennant is not my favourite, not by a long shot. There's still Six and Nine. And then Two, if more of Troughton's stories had survived, would probably beat all three into the dirt for me.
Here's the thing that may or may not have occurred to you--maybe a lot of us like him because he is so freaking flawed. I like my Doctor to have hang-ups (Two non-withstanding). Ten is almost having a sort of midlife crisis. He refuses to concentrate on things and hates taking anything seriously because he's tired/scared of being hurt. Yes, that's emo. But I love it. I love seeing the Doctor that screwed up. Als Ten completely terrifies me. He's got mood swings like mad. He is messed up and I love it.
Yeah, he's hot. Slim lad in pinstripes and all that. But I'd rather be snuggling up with Six or Nine or Five. So it's really not just the hotness.
128. He's even better in the book! Again with me totally loving the screwed-up ones.
134. Eh. Never saw it (the age-gap, never cared. I just liked the relationship--they got on like bestest-best friends. Harpo Marx and his wife had 20 years between 'em, and I still thought they were adorable.
140. No, no you are clearly not, and I can't imagine what would lead you to believe that. Almost every single fan I know hated that book, for one reason or another. There is no excuse for that epilogue, especially knowing that she wrote it, almost word-for-word after the first book. I'm sorry, no. It didn't gel, and if she hadn't been so rushed/if an editor had had some balls, maybe they could've said the equivilant of "Hey, JKR, y'wanna betta or something on these last two? Because they kind of suck, and I think you forgot how to construct decent prose and believable character actions and all." In some ways, for me, the series ends at OotP. I knew I'd probably disregard things from DH just to make the inner fangirl in me happier, but thank you, JKR, for making it easier by writing in a style and direction I could find with little difficulty on ff.n.
148. ILU. I'm sorry, it's just beyond upsetting to see incest-fic for something like Narnia. It's just wrong. Me=prude, then whatever.
