Doctor Who 2x04: I don't have anything spoilery to say. I have heard that people don't like this episode, and all I can say is that I really enjoyed it and there is nothing wrong with it that a tiny, tiny bit of pairing flexibility wouldn't fix. sixth_light had told me that people were complaining it was a ship-sinker; it's really, really not. Seriously. At all. :)

*is now curious*

I'm sort of non-spoilered for this one (I've done some brushing up on the history aspect), though reviews just /exploded/ all over my flist again. But surely the need for pairing flexibility is a good thing?

I'm thinking eventual Rose departure-wise, too.

And every relationship needs that element of doubt, yes. Otherwise... not as interesting.

(I am so psyched for next week, though. Cybermen and alternate universes = joy. And probably lots of angst.)

IMO, yes. But not everyone thinks this way (See: Harry Potter fandom, see also: H/Hr) and I guess some fans just can't cope. *shrug* As Lucy said, this episode really wasn't a ship-sinker; while it was romantic, and the attraction was definitely mutual, the romance itself was decidedly one-sided. And she was awesome. *shrug* Mickey was also pretty neat this episode.

(I too am looking forward to next week! I hear Mickey leaves, although as I said I sort of liked him this episode.)

What I've heard that happens to micky is a bit more than leaving...

You know, you're the first person on my flist to mention the new series :D

I can't belive I didn't start downloading as soon as I got up :( I forgot about it. I could have watched it by now

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Oh did you now. Hmmmmmm.... I don't know, I get all my rumours from my flatmate, but that would make me kind of sad.

XD Whee, gold star for me!

I forgot too; I usually start downloading around 8 am (it finishes in the UK about 7 am our time) but this morning we didn't start till 11. Still had it about two or three pm, though.

Ah, Harmonian-style. *grins* OTP taken to the extreme side of things.

And now I'm trying to work out how exactly that relationship might have worked out.

Mickey has gotten capable lately.

(Mickey leaving is a bit sad, but I suppose it depends on how he leaves.)

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah. Hey, I have steadily ground down Lucy who used to be such an OTP person. She still has OTPs- and so do I- but at least they're, you know, tastefully handled.

Heh. You'll find out... tomorrow, I assume?

[melata-fic.livejournal.com]

Hee. Yeah, there's having OTPs, and there's... the sort of people who start shipwars.

At some stage tomorrow, I'm guessing. What time's best?

[sixth-light.livejournal.com]

For the record, I was never a shipwar person. I was merely firm in my convictions. Which I still am, to be honest. It's just when the writers and the actors and the producers and everyone even peripherally involved with the series all ship my OTP, I can afford to be more secure in my hopes for it.

*nods* Didn't pick you for one. Just one of those people who has a definite favourite relationship in the fandom.

Me, I'm just far too open minded. I ship him with cat people. And sentient trees. ;)

Yes, no one can deny the Doctor/Rose. Because it's as canon as a Doctor Who ship is possible to be.

Same time as last week- I have class until 5, so anytime after half-past or so and I should be home. :)

[melata-fic.livejournal.com]

Awesome. *grin* Just making sure.
