Mar. 6th, 2008 11:10 amSo I've finally got around to getting into the 8th Doctor.
DISCLAIMER: I am, in many ways, a Doctor Who ingenue. I am also trying desperately to get all of these thoughts down in a 20-minute break. Please forgive any nonsense - I mean well.
First off: let's get the squeeing out of the way. Yes, yes, he's repeatedly described as small - in fact the Sixth Doctor calls him "offensively thin". So when, in the second novel, he gets described as looking like Oscar Wilde, my response should be "Does he fuck - Wilde was well over six foot, and was never thin!". It is telling, then, that my response was, in fact, to sigh wistfully and consider that my Wilde/Holmes action figure tableau could easily be reinterpreted as Doctor/Holmes.
( Wank. No, really, what am I talking about? )
Is this why I'm so very very keen on Time Lord mythology right at the moment?
( Mort )
I'm considering going to see Mort again on Saturday, if anyone wants to join me? And I'm definitely seeing the OULES'/Virgil's Aeneid on Friday, with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
liminereid. My Doctor it's confusing to be dashing around seeing all these fabuous plays, written/lit/directed by and starring my friends, but not to actually be involved in any way. It's (almost) all of the fun with none of the work! (Of course (inevitably) I actually miss it lots.)
