Mwhee! I was actually supposed to be Productive!Betsy today by going to the bank to sort out my finances (o, don't want toooooooo) & going to the pharmacy, but instead, my day turned into Lazy!Pyjamas day, in which I ate food, drank tea, sat about in my pyjamas all day & watched Doctor Who & (finally!) some Torchwood! GOOD DAY, Y/Y?

& now, I shall squee a bit.

Doctor Who

- ASDFGHJKL;'LKJHGFDSASZXCFGHJK,L.;OMFG DAVID TENNANT. I FINALLY GOT MY WISH FOR SOME TENNANT GOODNESS TO GRACE MY LINE OF VISION OMG YAY. ::licks::

(yes, it should be noted by one & all, that I was a bit of a Tennant fancier before I started watching Doctor Who. Just a little bit!)

- Blink, though I didn't see all of it, is FUCKING CREEPY, OKAY? ::will never look at a statue the same way again::

- MARTHA! Okay, up until today, I'd never actually seen Martha in action, but OMG THAT GIRL IS SO CUTE! ::glomps her:: Maybe I won't hold her in the same contempt I held Jonas Quinn in. ::ponders:: I could get to like her.

- ::licks Ten:: Ahem, sorry.

- OKAY, I WANT MORE WHO & I WOULD LIKE IT NOW PLZ.

& now, Torchwood! (just general reactioning, [that's a word, I swear it] & no spoilery bits.)

- OMG I THINK I JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH JACK HARKNESS. He's like Saffron, minus the red hair, boobs & complete lack of morals.

- Ianto! Okay, when I first saw Ianto, I told [livejournal.com profile] colonel_taisa that he was "funny looking." Cue a rather displeased response from her. So this note is for her.

NISHA, I AM SORRY I CALLED IANTO JONES FUNNY LOOKING. YOU WERE RIGHT, I WAS WRONG, HE IS GORGEOUS, HAS A HOT ACCENT & MAKES ME FEEL SLIGHTLY SWOONY, PARTICULARLY WHEN HE'S WITH JACK. YOU WERE RIGHT, I WAS WRONG. I'M SORRY. ::HANDS HEAD:: NO COOKIES FOR ME.

- OMG GWEN & TOSH! Those girls are just so CUTE! Especially Tosh - she reminds me a teeny bit of Daniel Jackson - old-school!Daniel, that is. & GWEN IS HOT. & I think her accent is supercute!

- WFT IS THE DEAL WITH OWEN. But he's cute too!

- ZOMG JACK & IANTO. Um. (that's a good UM, by the way.) ::wonders if she may play with this pairing after only TWO episodes::

- Heehee. I told my boything I was watching Torchwood & he was all YAY!!!!! (we were texting, as we always do) HAHA, HE & NISHA HAVE RECIEVED THEIR WISH FOR ME TO GET INTO TORCHWOOD.

- I WOULD LIKE A LOT MORE TORCHWOOD NAOPLZ.

So, um . . . I think I have another new fandom . . . yes, yes I do. ::blushes::

- - - - -

I was watching Doctor Who last night & decided to pop in Dalek. (JESUS CHRIST THOSE THINGS FREAK ME THE FUCK OUT.) This was my second viewing of it I think, & guess who was in it? Sarah Gardner/Osiris! Yes indeed, Daniel Jackson's English rose of an ex-girlfriend, who later played host to the Goa'uld Osiris was in Doctor Who! WHEE FANDOMS COLLIDING OMG.

Anna-Louise Plowman does a good American accent. Plus, she's still delicious!

Ooo, Torchwood's back on! ::settles in with her tea::

Also? Don't mix chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream with green tea. It's kind of . . . icccccccccccck.

Ok, is this the part where I run around yelling 'I TOLD YOU SO! I TOLD YOU SO!' because I'm tempted to :P IANTO IS MADE OF AWESOME, AND NOW YOU HAVE REALISED HIS FULL AWESOMENESS. It's totally the accent that gets me.

Out of curiosity, which episodes did you watch?

I think I saw one episode with Ten last year, but I had absolutely no idea what was going on, so I was a little confused. Though, series 4 is coming out soon, so I hope it starts airing here, then I catch watch them 1 and 4 at the same time =D

MUAHAHAHA, I knew this TV would be good for something *clings to it* I can also has Daniel on my very large tv :P But no Lorne sadly. *needs more SG-1 DVDs*

Yeah, right, the soul I mostly watch it coz of the hot people. I mean that and the awesome acting and riveting story lines... :P

IANTO IANTO IANTO. Sexy suit-and-tie naughty Ianto.

Oh god, just wait til you see more Torchwood. You don't need to slash it. It slashes itself.

Not sure what the deal is with Owen, but sometimes, in spite of myself, he turns me the hell on. There's this scene in the episode 'Countrycide.' You'll know it when you see it. Usually he is an arse though.

Gwen is a fox. I love her freckles. I want to dress like her.

I so adore Welsh accents.

What else have I not gushed about? Oh. Ten and Jack. I cannot even deal with them sometimes, they are so unbelievably molten hot.

In conclusion: Raxacoricofallapatorious.

I might of missed it, but I'm curious what was yer fav ep of the first season? Mine was the "Father's Day" one. I just love time travel and the craziness it causes. I also like how the Doctor knew shit was going to go down all along. :O

Aww, Father's Day made me so sad! ::wibble:: I loved Rose & The Unquiet Dead though! Bad Wolf & The Parting of the Ways are also my favourites, even though they make me rather sad.

Dude, Nine is FTW, srsly. ::glomps him::

I've only seen Martha in Torchwood but HOMGYAYYES I adore Martha. I love her. I want more of her NAOPLZ.

I'm just about to succumb to Doctor Who. I've resisted for long enough.

JACK HARKNESS IS EPIC. and hot and funny and cool and OMG JACK.

IANTO ROCKS. I didn't know what to think of him at first but OH I'm a fangirl now. He's gorgeous. The suit. The face. Oh *nods* yesyes.

JACK&IANTO. Play with the pairing, go ahead! I'm already reading fic and I've been into Torchwood for about two months. I never succumbed into fic-reading this fast in a new fandom.

Also? I LOVE the canon slashy goodness of this show. A sci-fi show with gay characters! I'm in fangirl heaven! *high-pitched squeal*

I actually got to see more of Martha today & I think I could really like her! She's spunky! & she's really sweet.

YES, YES, SUCCUMB TO DOCTOR WHO. It is PURE AWESOME. & David Tennant is OMFG delicious!

DUDE, JACK IS EPIC. OMG, WHERE DOES HE GET ALL THAT AWESOME?

::flails:: Jack & Ianto are SO FREAKING CUTE TOGETHER! (well, hot might be a better word, but I still wanna say cute!)

::twirls you:: OMG, WE SHARE YET ANOTHER FANDOM! WHEE!

Torchwood/Doctor Who are fantastic and Ianto is made of pure win.

Blink scared the crap out of me. I'm still afraid of statues o_0

I have so many DW/TW/Ianto icons, I don't know which one to use! I guess I'll use my Marth icon because she is adorable and I don't get to use it enough.

I ♥ Torchwood already! I can't wait to see more of it. ^__________^

ARGH, BLINK. ::hides under bed:: I saw it again today (from the beginning, this time!) & OMG. It is just so FREAKY & sad at the same time. David Tennant does creepy rather nicely, I must say.

::waves at miss Martha & uses her Rose icon::

Martha really grew on me, though I was determined not to like her in the beginning.

The Welsh accents in Torchwood are so awesome! I really like Owen.

Also, OMG, chocolate chip cookie dough icecream with green tea - THAT IS THE CRAZIEST IDEA EVER!!

From: [identity profile] riverdresses.livejournal.com
Aww, I hope I like Martha when she first appears - I do like her already! But it'll be so hard to lose Rose. :(

HEE! It was an interesting experiment . . . I might try it with vanilla instead, next time.

From: [identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com
Yeah, it was pretty much that I didn't think anyone could replace Rose. But I think they handled it really well.

Ooh, let me know how that turns out!!

I need to get round to watching Torchwood. I'm all caught up with DW, but...

Blink was easily the best episode of that season. Sally Sparrow FTMFW!

& I think that Owen looks a little like a fish/possibly a Wraith. I don't know, his mouth looks kinda scary.

Ianto is made of amazing sparkly things. ♥ I don't care what people think, the Welsh accent is a wonderful, wonderful thing to listen to.

How far have you actually come in Torchwood?

*uses only Torchwood icon*

Ten's fantastic. I love Nine and Ten equally but I tend to giggle just a bit more when it's Ten on screen, if you know what I mean.

And yes, Martha does rock! I know most folks fancy either Rose or Martha but I like them both because they're both such wonderful characters in their own right and it just seems unfair to keep comparing one to the other. Why should one have to live in the other's shadow? They're both fantastic.

Ianto rules. You will find more evidence supporting that statement as you watch "Torchwood." But yes, Ianto rules and the only person who rules as much as he does is Tosh. Tosh is absolutely amazing. She's so smart and sweet and a bit of a dork but she knows her shit and is both strong and vulnerable. (who, me, a Tosh fangirl? what would give you that idea?)

And the Daleks. Yes. Generations of Britons have spent evenings hiding behind their couches on account of the Daleks so you're totally not alone.
