Lately I've been really, more then usual obsessed with Doctor Who. Not a very good thing to become obsessed with. It's an all-encompassing obsession. Because you watch Doctor Who, you think, that David Tennant guy is neat, so you go and watch everything he's in- Blackpool, Casanova, anything you can get your hands on, and then he hosts this Friday Night Project show and so you spend hours watching this just because he's hosting it, and then you go and watch Torchwood and like it even though it's just a lot of sex and drama and over-acting but man, that John Barrowman, that Captain Jack Harkness, he's good-looking, what else does he do? So the next 3 hours you spend watching Barrowman singing and then watching the Friday Night Project again, and now you really want to buy Barrowman's albums. Then you go and watch the episode of The Weakest Link with the Who cast in it. And when you're watching anything else Russel T. Davies has created, just for kicks, it's when you know something is wrong.
Anyway. I have this thing where I like to watch things in order. I realize I cannot do this for Doctor Who. There are hundreds and hundreds of episodes. So I'm watching a few Four arcs and re-watching Nine and Ten. For instance, tonight I decide to watch Nine (I LOVE NINE) and want to start from the beginning, and I'm like, oh, not Rose (the epi not the girl), I er just watched that one a few months ago. And The End of The World is the Doctor bitching about humans I think mostly. So I'll watch the Unquiet Dead, for Dickens for the first Gwen appearance. I just read a Dickens novel. Well. Cliff Noted most of it. Great Expectations. It was alright.
Hmm. So I'll watch Unquiet Dead and then maybe switch back to Ten for The Doctor's Daughter. I've been rewatching Series 4, too, and here's the thing: I'm all i wanna watch the good ones like the doctor's daughter and the unicorn and the wasp but I need to watch them in orrrdderr so I watch everything up till then and then I'm all meh.
I have one main problem with Doctor Who but my arms hurt from the desk digging into them as I type so later on I will adress this problem.
