Not bad for a man in his jim-jams

grimorieThe christmas has passed and so has the Christmas Invasion. I have to confess, I was one of the people skeptical about David Tennant because I was so very in love with the Ninth Doctor. I love him as much as Rose loved him.
Oh, but Tennant -- he made me love the tenth incarnation, I love how manic he gets (just like Nine) and the darkness in between the manic-ness. I love how he was trying to discover who he was --'Rude and not ginger.'
I love Rose and people (including myself) seem to forget that Rose has had a trying couple of days, we forget that it's only been days since the whole Dalek war fleet. I love that despite her fear she put herself back together again and *tried* to be the Doctor.
Although, I really hope there is a fallout from the whole Bad Wolf thing, I hope that it has changed her in someway and that this season will deal with that because, c'mon, having the time vortex run inside you has to change a person.
And Mickey and Jackie, how could I not love those two, especially Mickey who started out as a clingy boyfriend but ended up to be so reliable, although I think he should really, really move on from Rose. I love you Mickey but you already know that Rose will never stop leaving, you knew it in Boomtown when you decided to end your relationship with Rose.
Oh, and Harriet Jones, she breaks my heart, I would have wanted her as my leader, and I completely understand her decision. It was genocide but she was also right, the Doctor can't always be there to defend the Earth. Poor Harriet Jone, Prime Minister... she was only doing what she thought was right...
I have such love for this series and the Doctor that I never want it to go away, it's the way I felt when I first discovered Buffy, giddy and schoolgirl-like.
The Inside
I've finally watched the first seven episodes of the Inside (the only seven as it turned out) and... I loved it. I have such a weakness for closed off, damaged characters.
I was very intrigued with the Web-Rebecca relationship. It's so messed-up in a platonic, controlling sort of way. But honestly, I don't want any of the relationships within the team to ever turn romantic.
It's not what Rebecca needs from them, she needs friends more than boyfriends. I wish they'd had time to develop Rebecca more, I wanted to see more of the darkness they keep hinting she has.
Also? Web is very creepy.
I very much agree with Paul that the world is safer with Web in the FBI office than outside to cause scary trouble.
The Inside obviously wasn't a procedural, I think it's more about the characters than the cases. The cases are just avenues to show how messed-up our characters can get.
It's so sad this series hadn't developed properly and my hate for Fox has increased steadily.
*sigh*
As for Bones, I love it too. It's just so fun, the banter between Tempe and Booth is always fun and like the Inside, I really don't think the show's about the cases, or trying to be X-files. I think Boreanaz was correct in saying that Booth and Tempe are more like the Moonlighting couple.
I love how different/same Booth is from Angel. It's like Booth is the well-adjusted version of Angel and I just got a plotbunny for an Angel/Bones/The Inside crossover.
I have this scary image of Connor making a deal with Wolfram and Hart to save Angel, and the Powers or Partners did turn Angel human without any of his memories (ala Connor's mindwipe) except that everyone remembers Angel, except Angel himself and that the reason he was turned human was because he served a purpose as a human, and also because his destiny wasn't his to give.
Then Angel as Booth goes to LA with Tempe for a special case and they meet up with Rebecca & co. and Booth can't understand why he's semi-fascinated with Rebecca and immediately sense she's damaged.
Then, Connor sees Angel walk about and he goes to the new (again) Wolfram & Hart offices and demand what his father was doing here and Lilah or whoever informs him that maybe it was the Powers who brought him there.
And, oh, the plot bunny is eating my brain and I want to stop.
*distracts self with House*
Did I mention that I've also fallen for House?
I love House in all his total grouchy, superior glory and I love Cuddy because she gives as good as she gets. I support any incarnation of a House/Cuddy relationship because they work.
But I really can't see House/Wilson that fandom loves so much even if I tilt my head and squint. I just can't.
I just wish the creators would stop pushing a House/Cameron relationship because c'mon guys... House would eat her alive. Now, Cameron/Chase I could get on.
Wouldn't it be fun, though, if House and Cuddy's role would be reversed? Cuddy as the crochety heroine of the show? And House is the hospital administrator and they'd be bitching at each other the whole day. House didn't really want to be the administrator but something happened and he was promoted to it. And, I really don't know what's next after that but wouldn't that at least be fun? Or that could just be me. Hee.
