Top 5 Old Who serials asked by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

5. City of Death (Four) because it's fun, lovely and set in Paris ♥ The Four/Romana dynamic in this is fantastic and I adore the other characters, starting with Duggan who cracks me up with his adorable ways. Oh and unexpected!John Cleese was completely FTW !
4. The Time Monster (Three) because it has EVERYTHING from awesome Tiemcock interaction to a cute nerdy pair of scientists to unexpected baby!Benton AND naked!Benton to the LOLTASTIC Chronovore to ATLANTIS, to a lovely heart to heart with Jo with wonderful memories of the Doctor's youth on Gallifrey, to the Master on his knees in front of the Doctor. TIS SO VERY PERFECT.
3. The Mind Robber (Two) CRAZY UNICORN TIEM. And Jamie who isn't Jamie and a minotaur and Zoe's shiny arse and awesome karate skills and Gulliver and Rapunzel and and a forest of WORDS. IT REALLY CAN'T GET MORE AWESOME THAN THIS. Some of the sixties serials are aging way better than the later stuff, this one is part of the ageless bunch. The black and white serves the eerieness of the story incredibly well.
2. Season 8 (Three) Shush, I'm not cheating. It's just one reaaaaaaally long serial of endless Doctor/Master goodness.
1. The Sea Devils (Three) because I cannot express the extent of my flail for this one. THE MASTER WATCHING THE CLANGERS. THE DOCTOR'S LITTLE AWKWARD WAVE OF WIN AT HIM. THE SWORDFIGHT. WITH BONUS SANDWICH STEALING. THE SEA DEVILS AND THEIR FABULOUS OUTFITS. JO AND HER FABULOUS OUTFIT. THE DOCTOR AND THE MASTER WORKING TOGETHER. WITH BONUS GROPING. THE MASTER AND THE DOCTOR LOCKED IN A TINY CELL TOGETHER. FIERCENESS ON HOVERCRAFTS. THEY ARE SUCH FLIRTS. This story is the gayest thing who's ever gayed, period.
Special mention : The Aztecs (One) for Goddess!Barbara's amazingness, One and Cameca's adorable love story and Ian's loltastic yet somewhat impressive fighting skills.
Top 5 Doctor/Master moments asked bymagicallaw
5. "A cosmos without the Doctor scarcely bears thinking about." from The Five Doctors. Such a classic quote which proves their Eternal True Love. Of course the timeys were already aware of that fact since the High Council asked the Master to rescue the Doctor. I adore the fact that he is all 'LOLWUT' for about 4 whole minutes before coming up with that wonderful, lovely lovely quote. He's such a closeted romantic.
4. Ten and Simm!Master's phone sex from The Sound of Drums. Simm couldn't have said that first "Doctor" in a more erotic way. The whole scene is just so blatant. I was so baffled the first time I watched the episode. How come anyone fails to pick up on the homoerotic subtext from this is beyond me.
3. From Mind of Evil : Delgado!Master joyously torturing Three until he fell unconscious which made the Master instantly go in "OHSHITOHSHITOHSHIT" mode and desperately try to revive him. I love how he goes from evil gloating to sweet and caring in 2 seconds flat. He really doesn't want to break his favourite toy <3
2. From the Sea Devils : MOTHERLICKING SWORDFIGHT. WITH FLIRTING AND SNARK AND SANDWICH STEALING. SO AWESOME IT HURTS. My favourite bit has to be when the Doctor just hands the Master his sword back so they can keep on having fun. Oh boys.
1. Simm! Master dying in Ten's arms from Last of the Time Lords. I just love that this is the most devastated we've ever seen the Doctor in the entire show's history. It clearly shows that he just lost the most important person of his long life. And you just know that the Master got a huge kick out of seing Ten's reaction, which is probably why he did it. The scene is simply gorgeous and heartbreaking and it's still one of the slashiest thing I have ever seen. My OTP rules the World of OTPs, and I'm loving it.
I hope that this top 5 will change in a few months, if you catch my drift :D
Top 5 Harry Potter characters asked bycleopancake
5. Remus Lupin even if I have some trouble with him in the last two books, he was my favourite thing about PoA and I love him overall.
4. Albus Dumbledore and his sweet insanity and wiseness. Oh and his epic and tragic love affair with Grindelwald <3
3. Harry Potter because even if I loathed CAPSLOCK!TEENAGE CRISIS!HARRY in OotP, he's the character we followed through his PoV during 7 years and that we know the best. I couldn't help getting attached to the brat.
2. Fred and George Weasley are the first characters I fell in love with. They made me burst out laughing in public places so many times. To this day, I'm still deeply traumatized by their fate in DA. JK YOU HURTFUL BIATCH !
1. Severus Snape because he is, hands down, the most interesting character of the saga and I was very satisfied with his journey. I'm a big fan of morally grey.
Special mention : I wanted to put Draco Malfoy somewhere in this SO VERY HARD. Except that I know that I adore him thanks to the fanon version, the Lauren Lopez version from AVPM and Felton's admirable performance in the last film so it wouldn't have been very objectiveBUT OH SO RIGHT.
Top 5 Life On Mars/Ashes to Ashes scenes asked bycleopancake
5. A2A series 2 finale : THAT LAST SCENE OMG. When Gene just poped up on Alex's hospital room's telly screen, I gaped like a fish out of water ! I'm not really good at guessing things coming but I never expected this ! I Love when Alex is all NOOOES and starts to run around while Gene keeps on shouting at her to wake up from every screen she comes across. SUCH AN AMAZING ENDING. Rock on series 3 !
4. LoM : The Camberwick Green parody. CLASSIC. "Is it Gene Hunt ? Is he kicking in a nonce ?" I adore the moment when lil' Gene stops to wave at the camera ♥ Never. Gets. Old.
3. LoM : 102 opening scene. SO MUCH AWESOMENESS IT HURTS. I love how it starts with Sam's emotional turmoil in front of his fractured bathroom mirror, THE CHASE SCENE IN SWIMTRUNKS set to one of the best songs of history, the Wing's Live or Let Die and how it finishes on Sam's upside down smile of UNBEARABLE SWEETNESS which demonstrates how much he lovesGene in swimtrunks this life.
2. A2A : THE VIENNA SCENE. Too bad the clip I linked has the sound baleeted by YT because the whole sequence IS A THING OF BEAUTY. I started shipping Alex/Gene pretty early on but this scene in 106 made me a hardcore shipper. Ooooooh Vienna.
1. LoM : the series ending. Simply one of the best ending I have ever seen. I still don't know how they managed to make me feel so happy about a suicide. Amazing.
Special mention : Gene taking little Alex's hand in the series 1 finale and "Don't move ! You're surrounded by armed bastards !"
Top 5 Doctor outfits asked byfoui_the_brave
5. The Fourth Doctor
The bohemian look. Maybe the most iconic of them all. I adore the endless scarf and the coat.
4. The Eighth Doctor
*thud* Edwardian and gorgeous !Let's forget that it's an Halloween costume.
3. The Third Doctor at number 3 !
The cracky magician/Austin Powers look. What I love the most is that it would look ridiculous on any other living being but he pulls it off. He makes velvet fabulous and yet can still be taken seriously. Three wins.
2. The Tenth Doctor
Weeeeeeell. It's a pinstriped suit. It's a *very tight* pinstriped suit. He saves Universes in these chucks. Janis Joplin gave him that coat.
1. The Eleventh Doctor
It's just *so* inspired ! There's nothing I can't flail about. From the boots to the bowtie. I just cannot wait to see the Doctor who goes with that incredible outfit.
jedicathy you're going to have a post dedicated to what you asked me because this is taking forever !

on 2009-09-11 11:45 am (UTC)It was quite hard to do the HP one (and book!Draco is so annoying to not be as awesome as what the fans came up with >_<) but at least Snape as 1 was never in question :)

And then the little swallow. It's like, oh dear, so you need a private moment?
I hope that this top 5 will change in a few months, if you catch my drift :D
Fingers crossed!
The LoM 1x03 opening scene is the best, and I love your description of Sam's upside down smile of UNBEARABLE SWEETNESS which demonstrates how much he loves
Gene in swimtrunksthis life. Yes!no subject
on 2009-09-13 06:26 pm (UTC)Seriously though, EPIC is the word since I had to split it in two in the end and it was so long to make (especially to work out the order of some top 5).
Fingers crossed indeed ! But I live in hope :D
I LOVE THAT OPENING SCENE SO HARD !! The first time I saw it, I was overwhelmed by its awesomeness <33333
It's still making me smile like a loon everytime I watch it now. So much love <3
