At least I'm back to being reasonably okay health-wise, stuffy nose notwithstanding. Woo!
A big yay for that - about time too :-)
I quite enjoyed The Runaway Bride. The story itself was a bit meh I thought, but the character stuff was great (a laughed a lot), and there was punching in the face - he was so asking for it :-P
I thought the remembering-Rose bits were nicely done - not too many moments to bog the story down (it being a Christmas Special and all), but they didn't just ignore the fact that she had just left, and I liked that. I must say that I think those moments (and the banter with Donna) were very well played by David Tennant - I'm hoping for more along this line and less shouty!Doctor (unless it is followed by punching :-P). My thought that losing Rose might give Ten a bit more of an edge in the way that the TIme War gave Nine a bit of darkness, if you know what I mean.
But anyway, I quite enjoyed the episode on the whole, and am looking forward to the next series.
I've been catching up on Torchwood btw - and I find the episodes after 6 quite a lot better. I was surprised that I actually quite liked the seventh epsidoes (though I felt the whole lesbian thread a bit forched - not that I mind in in principle, it just, I don't know, quite gel for me. They Keep Killing Suzie I really liked quite a lot - quite creepy, and not in just a silly adolescent way. And I also liked Out of Time - I enjoyed the fact that they took to the time to explore the characters.
If I pretend the Chibnal episodes don't exist, then the series isn't half bad - and I'm looking forward to seeing the next episodes.
And I'm done with re-reading Harry Potter... hmpf.
Uh oh. I know what that feels like *sigh*. And yeah, reading the books back to back is interesting. Did you notice the locket that Harry and the others come across at Sirius' house in Book Five ;-)
And Snape is not evil. (Or so I think today - I can't seem to make my mind up on that.)
