1. I dreamt in Doctor Who. Nyssa and Eight were stranded in a strange festival, whilst Five and C'Rizz and Charley tried to get to them in the TARDIS. Though it might've been Turlough and Charley. It's so hard to tell now. (I woke up around the time Charley was inspecting a whole roomful of 'escorts' so she could steal their money)

2. I really loathe the psychic paper. I hope the Moff keeps forgetting it exists. (it sort of typifies my dislike for large portions of the newskool stuff: instead of having to gain confidence or give Draconian references, the Doctor just waves a bit of paper and people blindly follow. It's insulting, not to mention sort of squicky in a violating their brains/mind control sense.)

3. Is it any wonder Eight was a bit barmy, given the things Six and Seven put him through?

4. I would like Daleks more if the show had more episodes where wee!tiny!toy Daleks took over the TARDIS. (that said, it's pretty much the only redeeming feature of Renaissance of the Daleks)

5. My thoughts on this week's In Plain Sight: wow, that's a lot of white males. And one woman. If this is the new, improved show, I think I may stop watching. I know, I know, they also had one black guy! And his story was about boxing. Very ground-breaking, that.

2. It's a plot device invented in service of the pacing of the new 45-minute story format, like not getting locked up in jails any more, or like the sonic screwdriver being able to do everything except solve the story. But I agree; better to make each writer solve their own problems.

Yes, I know what it is. It's always struck me as annoying, however, and will continue to do so. I pine for the days Seven typed up his own references, then signed them using two pens.

Now I want Charley and Turlough fic.

5. Yeah, I was less then impressed. I'm hoping this is not a permanent state of affairs.

I'm trying to decide how to manage it.

5. I... I'm sort of giving the show a few more episodes, I think. sigh. It's so hard to let it go. :/

[amaresu]

Perhaps after they've both left the Doctor? Then you don't have to worry overly about making things fit.

5. It isn't giving me the warm fuzzies. At least it hasn't the past few episodes. Perhaps Brandy will return and make everything awesome again.

But psychic paper is so EASY and we don't have to write any kind of ACTUAL SCENE showing people using their wits or anything. DUH.

The writers have it so hard!

I've got my fingers crossed.

Er, I disliked more than half of the Nine and Rose episodes I watched, so their charm is entirely lost on me.

And at least it's not more Alice in Wonderland allusions (BIG FINISH, I AM LOOKING AT YOU).

*g* Poor Sarah.

Is Bobby gone too? Because, yeah, it's, uh, different (and also, I'm kinda pissed that they brought in the white FBI dude as potential love-interest when Rafe's been gone exactly five seconds).

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Bobby has been awol since the premiere. I think he's been dumped, officially, too. Which. BREAKING UP THE BROT3, MAN. NOT ON. sigh.

[wishfulaces.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I remember the single reference to him in the first episode. I MISS YOU, BOBBY. especially when you show up on a horse.
