TVM. Always canon
Sep. 13th, 2012 10:42 pmHere's something interesting. The B roll for the Doctor Who TVM has found it's way onto the YouTubes.
Onto 2011!
Jan. 1st, 2011 05:58 pmAlso known as year 3 in lj time.
Any sort of reflection on the year past or resolutions for the future are beyond me for the moment, so instead have a Doctor Who TV Movie review from the guys at That Guy With the Glasses.

Previously, the Doctor almost scored but then some stuff happened. I guess the world is in peril, I don't know, I can't follow this stuff. It's all very pretty, at least.
( And you thought there was no plot before? )

Last time, the Doctor had turned into Jesus and the Master had turned into a C list actor.
( Many caps of cuteness! )

Ah, the mid 90's. The X Files was in fine swing and we thought that the Mytharc would make sense, a grey man was Prime Minister and Tony Blair was going to save us all and the BBC had a big science fiction/fantasy hole in their schedules. A generation of school children were facing growing up without playing Daleks in the playground.
But who was that coming over the horizon? The Americans were here, specifically the Fox network, with a shiny big budget to fix everything!
That went...well. And to be fair, it was a huge ratings success in the UK, and showed that absence had made the heart grow fonder for the non-Whovian masses. Sadly, it was the US ratings that mattered, as that was were the money was. And it tanked. Boo.
But all this was of no concern for the 13 year old girl turning in that night, obsessed with the X Files and who only had the vaguest knowledge by cultural osmosis of what Doctor Who was all about and fuzzy memories of a monster made out of sweeties and one truly awesome home made Dalek costume that stood in her school's tv room.
She watched a confusing, back story laden, exciting, shiny thing...and fell in love.
( Look! Look at the budget! And many many caps! )

Paul McGann is totally canon, God dammit!
Jan. 21st, 2010 05:09 pmThe idea of Torchwood USA may bring me much hilarity, but it also goes to show I am a complete hypocrite what with my absolute adoration of the Fox Networks last foray into the Whoniverse. But the TVM is made of win! Not much sense, or coherence, but win all the same!
I am going to shortly embark on an epic giant picspam detailing this win (shortly meaning whenever I have defeated my laziness) since I have figured out how to take my own screencaps. The old fashioned way using prt scrn and pasting in paint, even though in practicing with it I realized how insanity-driving time consuming that way is. But then having to stare at Pail McGann is a burden I am willing to take.
I was playing about taking some caps from the DVD behinds the scenes features, and that turned out to be a good thing as I ended up leaving the media player buttons on and did not notice when I was saving the pictures. So they are a bit wonky, but at least I'll know to avoid that mistake next time. Unless I forget.
Anyway, a few TVM behind the scenes caps.
( Cut for Doctor Who and very wet chickens. )

In which I am a bad fan.
Jul. 5th, 2009 03:14 pmBig Finish have done a Fitz and Eight audio!
Why am I only hearing about this now? Oh God, must buy must buy must buy! Even though Fitz is being played by some bloke out of Eastenders who I've never heard off.
I miss the EDAs, yes they were full of crack and insanity but there was also good stuff in there, and them along with Big Finish were my Doctor Who. The new series is not as good, naturally.
And a PSA.
This is the Eighth Doctor.
He is canon. OR I KEEL YOU! Sorry, my inner crazy fangirl got out for a moment there. Seriously, don't piss her off, bitch is crazy. And he totally is canon.
