Dude I can NOT be shipping Ten/Donna. It's wrong enough that half the universe is shipping Ten/Astrid.

NO MORE SHIPPING.OMG.TEN IS A MASSIVE SPACE WHORE AND I CAN'T EVEN DEAL WITH IT.

This isn't what Who is supposed to be... maybe i'm just clinging onto the core values of Classic Who too much, and a bit of flirtation is all well and good... but must he really suck face with everything that moves?! That isn't Who.

But yes. Season Four trailer was HOT LIEK WOAHS. And the new theme music was also much win.

Otherwise though... it was a pile of rubbish and forced me to give myself a DOUBLE gin and tonic just to deal with the pain.

I'm still not sure about the new theme tune, but I'll surely warm up to it.

Ten and Donna look like they're going to BURN the screen with chemistry and I'll happily ship them for the sake of LOLZ and the crackiness that this pairing already induces.
Ten is a slag anyway.

Classic who doesn't prevent the shipping at all in my mind, Two/Jamie, Four/Romana and Five/Turlough are just a few exemples that it's still very popular.

Those Classic relationships were generally not about pulling though... it was all about the chemistry and tension, it wasn't about playing tonsil hockey and a quick shag. Ten can be a slag, but I don't think he should be the sort of slag who HAS NO TASTE and just gets with anyone for the sake of it.

He's 903... surely he should be a discerning slag by now? He's past adolescent idiocy. Not past Koschei, to be sure, but that was less idiocy and more Meant-To-Be.

I know i'm being a bit too Old Skool about it all... but I think there comes a time when one must draw a line.

Well to be honest I didn't see the appeal in Astrid either, she felt just so... Transparent and unexciting. I couldn't believe Ten falling for her one second.

Donna is another story. And I feel that they'll bounce off each other and have a really sparky relationship, not mooning all day long and be romantic about it. So it will hopefully be about chemisty and tension, much more like classic who.

He could never be past Koschei, there's no competition.

I have come to like Donna, just from that S4 trailer... but I shan't be shipping. It's one thing to enjoy a sparky relationship, but another to ship. Ten and Donna sexing? OMGNOES. Ten/Anyone-But-The-Master sexing just seems so much like not even worth it. It's forever love! Literally.

I do like Donna though... now.

ASTRID THOGUH. Eurgh. Not in the slightest. What is with Ten being all moon-eyed over her?!

Ah well I can only respect (and share) your OTP.

That trailer is pretty fantastic if it turned your Donna appreciation around :D

Astrid was a hell of a let down, I was even prepared to love her and all we got was this... blonde with no personality.

and all we got was this... blonde with no personality.
You mean all we got was KYLIE MINOGUE.

I don't blame Kylie, I think she did a decent job. But the character completely failed to pick my interest.

L'ep galere comme un malade à se dl donc, je le verrais que demain mais j'ai lu ton post parce que ton lj-cut m'a intriguée et franchement, je suis vachement moins impatiente là tout de suite. Bien sûr, j'ai ENVIE de retrouver Ten plus que tout!!! parce que Ten=MAJOR SQEE mais bon...

Posted by

Fallait pas lire, t'es bad XD

Je me demande encore si c'est parce que mes attentes étaient monstrueuses que ça m'a autant pas emballée ou alors si je suis trop dure, toujours à cause de ces mêmes attentes.

Dans tout les cas c'est à revoir mais pour l'instant je ne retient que le fait que c'était creeuuuuuuuuuu. *sobs*

Bon la saison 4 a l'air super bien en tout cas, c'est toujours ça de prit lol.

When I say 'Ten is pretty' I really, really REALLY mean it though.

So you'll have to look forward to that at least ^^

Comme Eph' ton post m'a intrigué donc j'ai lu. Et pfiouuu, mon DVD vient juste de finir de graver et now j'ai même plus envie de le voir -___-

Surtout que, comme tu le sais, je suis d'accord avec la commenteuse du haut qui dit que la dynamique Docteur/Compagnon doit être basée sur la profondeur de la relation et pas le potentiel snogabble - donc la perspective qu'il soit dingue de Minogue juste par principe me donne un peu la gerbe.

Anyhow, LES TRAILERS SONT MADE OF WIN INDEED!!! Tu as vu celui de Torchwood? Because : OH. MY. GOD ♥ ♥ ♥ !!!

Posted by

Non mais franchement c'est pas tant les passages de flirtiness qui m'ont dérangée que le fait que le personnage d'Astrid était tellement NAZE que c'était complètement WTF de voir le doctor s'accrocher a elle.

Enfin ça c'est mon opinion parce que j'ai vu plein de gens qui l'avaient tolérée.

Jveux dire Ten/Reinette à côté c'est une pure OTP.

Et quand je saute partout a cause du snog Ten/Donna c'est juste par souçi d'équité hein, ça m'aurait fait mal que ce soit la seule ki y ait pas droit (parce que je suis sure que c'est crack dans le contexte).

J'ai vu celui de TW oui, les trailers, eux, n'étaient pas du tout décevant XD

It wasn't brilliant but it wasn't awful.

I thought Astrid was just Generic Companion, really.

Shame there was no plot cos then it would have been brilliant.

Also, Astrid/Ballacafatala FTW.

Posted by

I was cringing *a lot*.

Astrid was just that : generic. I wasn't very moved by her story.

The nonexistent plot made me go WTF during 71 minutes. I don't deny that it had its moments of fun ~~and that Ten's hotness burned me~~ but it felt very very hollow.

Astrid/Ballacafatala FTW.

Well they both were cringeworthy in my book so I can't really back you up on this :-/

I realise that my expectations were far to high and that I may be not objective at all, though ! And it still deserves a second viewing.

The new theme was shite. Diddlydums drowned out by the main melody? THE FUCK? The Who theme is all about the diddlydums!

But yeah. I was facepalming very hard at the same things, too. Cheesier than fucking Tinkerbell Jesus. Dear god.

Stop being an intergalactic slag with People You've Only Just Met, Ten. Just makes you look like a fucking twat.

This is why I want to wring Rusty's neck: For making New Who all about the fucking 'shipping. Jesus, dude. I wouldn't mind a little bit, but it just makes everyone look fucking stupid/inconsiderate/insane.

The new theme tune hurt my hears ! I hope I'll get used to it :-/

Cheesier than fucking Tinkerbell Jesus. Dear god.

HOW IN HELL DID THEY MANAGE THAT ??? I felt so dirty watching it. Not in a good way.

And the shipping felt so unecessary and forced here, there wasn't even proper chemistry between the two actors to excuse it.

Posted by

I don't know how/why I imagined Kylie could actually act. She didn't. But then there wasn't much there to grab, the dialogue was fucking abysmal.

Shipping won't work when there isn't any interesting characterisation to actually CREATE that fucking chemistry. You need some sparks there, for fuckssakes, you need actual characters! It was about as interesting as watching two stupid (and thus unattractive) drunken people snogging and groping next to you. Le sigh.

Shipping won't work when there isn't any interesting characterisation to actually CREATE that fucking chemistry.

You nailed the problem, right there. I felt so completely detached from *air quote*the emotional turn of events*air quote* since the character of Astrid didn't grab me at all (in fact there was nothing to grab). Thus, Ten's interest was far from credible to me.

Posted by

Just makes him look like a dirty old man, 's all:(.

I really, really need fic which starts with the Doctor entering the Tardis and the Master waiting for him on the jumpseat, dressed in a tux, riding crop in hand, sneering at Ten. First mocking him for not inviting him along, but then tasting Astrid on his lips and proceeding to beat the shit out of him for shagging human wimmins again. Until the Doctor begs for mercy/more/tiemcock and ORDER IS RESTORED.

Posted by

OH THAT WOULD BE SO PERFECT I COULD CRY.

(tux!Master as a bonus *thud*)

OMG DAMN YOU I AM NOW CRAVING FOR THIS AS WELL. SO HARD IT HURTS.

Posted by

Really, Ten needs a sound thrashing. His emo and his sluttiness belong to the Master, damn it.

I WANT TO SHOP THIS. But dunno how in the fucking fuck I'd find a good tux sprawl bodyshot that'd be anywhere near as hot as the classic Simm Sprawl(TM). But I can try.

Well, I don't agree with you at all. I liked it. I didn't OMG love it, but I think it was not that bad. DT was hot as hell, the ep was kinda funny a few times. It was not the best, but not the worse DW ep. Yeah, I liked it, even if your review scared me last evening LOL
And, yeah, Astrid was not the best character evah (and this crush/flirt/kisses thing kinda sux), but I liked her. I don't know why, and I can't explain, but before to see it I thought I will hate her (because nobody can't stand in for Rose), but she was cute, not interesting or something, but cute. (but I'm glad she's not the new companion)

Posted by

I've noticed that a lot of divergence of opinion on VOTD depends on whether people liked Astrid or not. The thing is, I was prepared to love her and she was a let down for me.

But DT was hot,no arguing here.

I wouldn't go as far as to say that I liked it nor that I hated it, I just feel very 'meh' about it.
