falling_voicesOh look, LJ's back up again.
BARROWMAAAAN. LJJJJJJJJ. /fistshake
So, uh, the good news is that I've passed all of my exams, despite my accidentally not having sat for two of them — which I guess is pretty cool? and I won't have to sit for them in September, which is definitely cool. But I'm taken in Master year, possibly to work a memoir on Sherlock Holmes text-to-screen adaptations, with a focus on the Holmes/Watson relationship, which, ahah, is way beyond being just cool by this point.
Speaking of cool.
AND THEN RORY MOTHERFUCKING POND PUNCHES HITLER IN THE FACE.
And River with an eyepatch, and Craig, and are you going to kiss me? and Weeping Angels! and Winston Churchill, and a set that looks vaguely like Alice in Wonderland, and someone who looks disturbingly like Ten, and possibly Incas? Moffat, you sly, sly tease.
I'm pretty interested in the something has happened to Time comment, especially since we seem to be revisiting a lot of season 5 — there's Craig and Churchill and the Weeping Angels, and I seem to remember a cast list somewhere featuring mini!Rory and mini!Amy. It would be something if the season went on a full rewind-forward time loop to end all time loops. (And then moved on to something else, because time loops are so yesterday.)
And. Oh. I'll be in England on August 27th. I wonder if I can drag my folks to a fish&chips pub and watch it on telly.
(I love these days a few weeks before the show begins anew, and everything is impatience and speculation and the first images leaking. It always makes my heart go ba-bump; it's fucking glorious.)

Date: 2011-07-27 07:30 pm (UTC)I mean, it's a possibility just now, but. I don't really see why I shouldn't be able to do it, you know? unless I can't get into the class for some reasoooon, because uni hates me. If all goes well, though, I'm going to have a pretty fantastic year doing nothing but watching Brett and Hardwicke be pretty on screen. :D
Life appreciation, I can has it.

Omg, seeing that trailer during the Doctor Who panel was asdlkjdfh-worthy. I KINDA LOVE MATT SMITH AND KAREN GILLAN? LIKE, A LOT?! And weeping angeeeeels, yes, my favorite creepy-as-fuck alien species. \o/
YOU NEED TO COME VISIT THE UNITED STATES. SOME DAY. I will take you to eat Chinese food and mall-shopping and movie-watching as that's really the only things that're good over where I live. :|a

Date: 2011-07-27 07:33 pm (UTC)I DO TOO. AND ARTHUR DARVILL AS WELL. THEY ARE SO DORKY TOGETHER. TEAM VERY VERY PRETTY, ALL THREE OF THEM. ♥
Oooooh. Where do you live, nin? and you need to come to Paris, btw — at least we've got great food. :D

Date: 2011-07-29 01:32 am (UTC)UNFORTUNATELY, Arthur Darvill wasn't there but omggg that woulda been so amazing seeing the three there together.
Around Los Angeles, actually! Or rather, it's a bit of a drive away, so there ARE things to do, I just don't know what they are. Mostly cuz I spend most of my time on the internet. :x But yes, I wanna go to Paris to visit you one day!
And truthfully, I've only seen 3 episodes of Doctor Who (all of the ones with the Weeping Angels), but wanna see more after that ComicCon panel. Gonna start with the 9th Doctor and work my way from there. o/ Horribly spoiled myself though, just saying.

Date: 2011-07-27 01:03 am (UTC)Re: something has happened to time, yes. Especially since that one bit looks like old!Amy, like Amy with old makeup on. And oh man, now all my crazy thoughts about how River and Eyepatch Lady seem similar feel totally justified. There is a secret time loopy thing there maybe? River IS Eyepatch, and is only being evil because that's how time stays stable? IDEK. (Maybe Eyepatch is River's younger sister, and she's jealous of River being River so she decides to timey-wimey with River's childhood, thus leading to River's awesomeness in the first place and OH GOD MY BRAIN?)
I think they're gonna kill Rory though... (shot'd XD)

Date: 2011-07-27 07:39 pm (UTC)Old!Amy is creeping the fuck out of me. Are we going to have young!Amy, normal!Amy and old!Amy together, do you think? plus River? this is going to be so fantastic, I can't even. As for eyepatch!River, I'm rather conflicted — part of me thinks it's too obvious, part of me thinks it'd be fucking awesome if she's been lying about who she was all this time. Just imagine — she's been checking in on her birth. I mean. I mean what.
Rory ;o;

Date: 2011-07-27 07:44 pm (UTC)The astronauuuuuut, well yes, I think he will be? generally an arc's rounded up by the end of the season, innit? I don't think I can swallow another Moffat!cliffhanger, truth be told. :/ this season is going to breaaaaak me. In all the best, most horrible ways.
I CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT YEAR. Eee SH!studies.
(ooh er. I haven't been posting anything since I finished ToNC, but I have been writing — mostly things for the sherlock!ficmeme that were not finished because something else came my way.
