one day that'll work

[aria]

Morning links!

i. Barak Obama looking at awesome things. Shocker, I particularly love the TARDIS one. I am also hugely delighted by how I recognized at least 90% of the awesome things.

ii. Doctor Who series 5 clip, from the vampire episode. I still cannot tell if Eleven is slightly more Tennant-y than I would like, but I am nevertheless still left with the suspicion that, yes, this is still sounding a lot like the show that's in my head. Also, his old library card makes me DIE WITH LAUGHTER.

I suspect that I need at least three links to make a proper post, but since I don't have one, I will instead leave you with a passage from A Wizard of Mars that convinces me that Ronan Nolan was a huge Doctor Who fan as a child.

"Bad," Ronan said, sounding utterly conversatioal, "this is very bad. We had TV shows like this back home on Saturday afternoons when I was little. This is the part where I always hid behind the couch."

Obviously the only logical conclusion is Daleks! (More on the book itself later; I'm about 3/4 through right now.)

You have made me extra-happy that AWoM shall be in my hands *this evening*.

Thiiiiis. I think he totally has potential to do his own this, but the clips I've seen so far are just a bit worrying.

[skipthedemon]

I dunno. I see a fair amount of Five and Seven in there, too.

[feverbeats]

Huh! I've seen very little Seven, so I can't say, but I don't really see much Five in Eleven. He's too manic.

[skipthedemon]

The "Someday that will work," aside struck me as very Five. The wry, under his breath self-mockery. Hey, reasonable people disagree and all that.

[aria]

Oooh, yes, I see the Five! You just made me about A HUNDRED TIMES MORE EXCITED.

Where are you seeing Seven? I mean, I would love to see that too, because you're starting to make Eleven sound like my perfect storm of Doctortraits. :D

[skipthedemon]

Hmm, I see the "something you never put in a trap" as a more Seven scary than Ten scary. Also, my partner sees some of the Seven vaudeville just in how he *moves*. Were are also like....ooh could be a perfect mix.

AWoM has so many wonderful quotes. (I'm 250 pages in, and occasionally flailing.)
