Alright everyone, this is it - the final recap of the great & mighty Troughton rewatch-athon. Tonight, we finish up with a story from the new series, believe it or not - the episode Midnight, which featured David Troughton in a supporting role, but one I'd say he did well with!

So here, we come full circle now - we started with his father as the Doctor, & we end with David back on Doctor Who, this time opposite David Tennant's Doctor!

Midnight )

So that's our final recap, ladies & gentlemen! Before I close this up with the last sentiments of mine, I just want to extend a huge thank-you to [livejournal.com profile] nentari, who encouraged me to do this, has been the generator of some awesome conversations throughout my recaps & who sort of gave me all the tools I needed to launch this little adventure! & I'd also like to thank [livejournal.com profile] stellastars for dropping in & generating some equally fab ideas & discussions between the two of us, as well as everyone who's commented, read & even lurked around in the shadows - it's been a blast, folks & I thank those of you who stayed with me for all of this! ♥♥♥

& I'm going to miss doing these, actually! It was a lot of work, but it was a ton of fun & I'm really glad that I did it - I can now say that I've officially seen & listened to all of the Second Doctor's era & well, that I might have just earned a degree in Two-ology, if you will! ::laughs:: I've had the best time doing this & maybe one day, I'll think of doing a second rewatch-athon for another Doctor. But that wouldn't be for a looooong time - I'm taking my time off now & catching up with all the serials I haven't seen yet, plus, getting more Six serials!

But, while this is the last of my recaps, it isn't quite the last of the celebrations! I've got a couple more things to share before the end, mind you. ::beams::

♥♥♥ Very very lazy sort of day today. Read magazines, watched Doctor Who & practised using liquid eyeliner. (I love eyeliner, but I'm rather bad at wearing it! So I need a lot of practise.) But still, it was a good day!

♥♥♥ Over the course of the day (& after re-watching The Sound of Drums/Last of the Time Lords & Smith and Jones), I seem to have come to the conclusion that Time Lords in general - I'm going to generalize/be gracious - are apparently damn good kissers! Or you know, that could be my inner fangirl wanting to see things that may or may not be true. But let's ignore that.

Oooo, that should be my next picspam. In fact, I think it will be. Whee!

♥♥♥ BUT THAT IS NOT THE POINT OF MY POST. THE MAIN POINT OF MY POST IS WHAT FOLLOWS THIS - IT'S AN AMY WINEHOUSE PICSPAM! An Amy picspam that is not particularly dialup friendly, mind you. BUT WHATEVER, I LOVE HER, SO IT DOES NOT MATTER. THE AMY HATERS CAN SUCK MY SONIC SCREWDRIVER.

SO ON TO THE SPAM NOW.

you know I'm no good )

♥♥♥ O, I did get to watch David Tennant on The Graham Norton Show last night. LOLZLOLZLOLZ, O DAVID, NEVER CHANGE. ::ruffles his hair:: & him holding that wineglass gave me too many ideas. Far, far too many. & since I remembered that, here, have a David!spam to complement my Amy!spam.

Thirty-seven things to love about David Tennant! by [livejournal.com profile] curlybeach.

& how ironic is the fact that Amy Winehouse started singing To Know Him is to Love Him JUST as I was looking through that spam? I couldn't stop giggling!

♥♥♥ I got to see more Doctor Who last Sunday! I saw the full episode of Blink (::hides under bed::) & part of the double eps where Ten was human for a bit. (OMG HE KISSED GIRLS AT LEAST TWICE.) & OMG Martha is kind of AWESOME.

My mummy thinks my glasses DO resemble Ten's a bit. (but his are a lot darker & thicker-framed than mine; mine are pretty delicate looking & a rather faded black. But Ten is suddenly making me appreciate my glasses more! Well, him & my boything, who wants a picture of me in them. ::giggles::)

♥♥♥ Also on Sunday, I did the dumbest fucking thing. (at least for myself to do right before I go to bed at TWO IN THE FRAKKING MORNING.)

Brain: HEY! LET'S SCARE OURSELVES STUPID & READ ABOUT TORTURE PORN HORROR MOVIES!

Rest of silly Betsyshape: MAH BRAVERY, LET ME SHOW YOU IT!

Two hours later, at four in the morning: CAN'T SLEEP, JIGSAW WILL EAT ME.

Yeah, UM. The next time I decide that it's a FABULOUS idea to know the plots of all the Saw movies & both Hostel films before I go to bed, SOMEBODY DISTRACT ME WITH SOMETHING CUTE & FLUFFY, OKAY?

Apparently, the nightmares I had from the 30 Days of Night & Friday the 13th graphic novels didn't teach me a damn thing.

(but oooo, I loved the newest volume of 30 Days of Night!! The art = fucking hallucinogenic & I loved it.)

♥♥♥ I had the most romantic (& crackalicious) dream about Captain Jack Harkness last night. whee crackalicious romance! )

♥♥♥ I slept through April Fools Day. Bummer, 'cause I wanted to reread Arkham Asylum in celebration. (ack, I don't even KNOW where my copy is!)

♥♥♥ I literally banged my head into a wall in public on Monday. Why? Being out with my mummy will make me do that, it just will.

♥♥♥ I WILL HOPEFULLY HAVE SERIES TWO OF DOCTOR WHO ON SATURDAY. DAVID TENANNT GOODNESS, HERE I COME.

& speaking of Tennant goodness, there's been a lot of David love floating around my flist lately! THIS IS A GOOD THING. BUT I NEED MORE. FRIDAY & SATURDAY CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH.

♥♥♥ I haven't listened to this song properly in a while. ♥♥♥

♥♥♥ One more thing some of you may like. Y HELLO THAR JOHN BARROWMAN, MAY I BORROW A CUP OF SEXY TODAY?

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.
