I know I'm posting these a bit later than usual & I'm sorry, but ah, here they are!

& before we hop into this week's recaps, I want to take this moment to pimp this totally fab Jamie/Victoria mix that the ever-lovely

nentari recently posted: Hero and Heroine. Go & procure it!

Okay! This week we have the final two stories in which our lovely Patrick Troughton appeared as the Second Doctor, along with Jamie's first Companion Chronicle. Our first story is, to sort of follow the trend of last week, is a multi-Doctor story, namely The Five Doctors!

( The Five Doctors )

Now, we come to the very last serial to feature Patrick Troughton as the Second Doctor, as well as the serial that finally, after a long wait, introduced me to the Sixth Doctor & miss Peri Brown - The Two Doctors.

( The Two Doctors )

& now, for the last story of the set, we have Jamie's first Companion Chronicle, Helicon Prime.

( Helicon Prime )

& that was our last major set of recaps! Next week we'll have the final recap of the great & mighty Troughton rewatch-athon, which will come full circle with the new series episode Midnight, as well as our little wrap-up party!

(O. Did I mention I am now not only hungry, but in a terribly fierce mood for some Two/Jamie ~~porn~~ fic? So I'm confused, hungry & ~~mischievous~~ a bit fangirlish now. At nearly three-thirty AM. Sigh! Only me, really.)

I think we've been in here a bit too long. I feel confused
listening to Thea Gilmore ♦ Whistle and Steam

I think this is the damn hardest I've worked on my recaps in . . . well, maybe it's the first time! I recapped The Ice Warriors Wednesday, started The Enemy of the World yesterday morning & spent the evening recapping it & The Web of Fear. I am about to fall the hell over from exhaustion (I also went to the laundry today & learnt that my basket is much heavier to carry than I thought it was!) & I think I even fell asleep during part of The Web of Fear. ::bashes head on things::

( The Ice Warriors - audio )

Now, we're getting to what is one of my absolute favourite serials of the Two era - The Enemy of the World. Sadly, only one episode of it survived, which I get to include in my recap along with the audio! I'm quite happy to be recapping this one; I've waited ages to get to it!

(& it'll help ease the pain when I get to Fury From the Deep. I hope.)

( The Enemy of the World - audio & serial )

& now, attempting to come down from the MASSIVE happy freakout behind the last cut, we come to our final serial of the week, The Web of Fear.

( The Web of Fear - audio & serial )

& that's this week's round-up for the great & mighty Troughton rewatch-athon! Next week I'll be recapping Fury From the Deep (Victoria's final serial. ::sob::) The Wheel in Space (Zoe's first!) & Zoe's own Companion Chronicle Fear of the Daleks.

I think we've been in here a bit too long. I feel trying to remember how to breathe
listening to Rufus Wainwright ♦ Across the Universe

The first cup of China Gunpowder green tea + Withnail & I = inexorably linked in my mind.

(I think it was because I drank so much the first time . . . okay usually whenever I'm watching it. Or rather, I like to write my Eight smut with that a cup of that tea by my side. It feels very right, somehow.)

( snip.whinge.snip.whinge. )

So, as you imagine, I took it well, even if I was pretty insulted by being offered fifty fucking cents for three DVDs I'd never WATCHED AT ALL, so I was in a very bad mood for the rest of the day. I feel a little better now - tea & a watching of Withnail & I while picking Eight porn up on Teaspoon will do that for me, but still.

Sigh. I really could have used that money. Fuckery.

&;

I'm finally back into the swing of Eight audios! I stopped literally halfway & seven minutes into The Last, but I finished it yesterday & last night/this morning, I finished Minuet in Hell & today, started Caedroia.

( The Last )

( Minuet in Hell )

( Caedroia, quick thoughts )

& because I got around to snagging . . . a few pictures from a LEGENDARY picspam

infinitejoys did of all the Doctors (ALL OF THEM) in non-Doctor roles, I'd like to share a few of Paul McGann looking quite lovely in some of my favourites.

(& in the last one . . . he makes those specs look rather sinister. OR, he looks like he's playing something of a very Humbert Humbert role . . . WHATEVER, I'M NOT OVERLY INTERESTED IN SPECIFICS, EITHER WAY, IT IS SEXY. ~~& no, most of those caps aren't still open in my tabs, why would you think that?~~)

BUNNY/KITTY SUMMIT '09 BEGINS SATURDAY AFTERNOON. ::FLAILS & DIES FROM EXCITEMENT::

'cause I know I'm the cursed one. I know I'm meant to die. Everyone else can watch as their dreams untie, so why can't I?

I think we've been in here a bit too long. I feel naughty
listening to Emilie Autumn ♦ Shalott

. . . I actually finished, edited a bit & wrote fic. I ACTUALLY DID THIS. ::eyes boggle::

Title: do you know where friendship ends & passion does begin?

Author:

riverdresses

Pairing: Eight/Sarah Jane

Rating: NC-17

Summary: Temporarily sidetracked while on a trip with the Doctor, Sarah brings up a long-forgotten bit of whimsy that the Doctor encourages her to turn into reality.

Notes: This fic would not exist without the help of both of the lovely ladies

backinblackk, who did the preliminary beta-reading for this &

wildannuette who did a lovely job Brit-picking this for me. Title is from the song Stockings by Suzanne Vega, which helped inspire this fic to a certain extent.

The timeline for Eight, just to keep everything straight is post-TVM, pre-Storm Warning & for Sarah, pre-The Sarah Jane Adventures & School Reunion, but you can always disregard that for this story.

listening to Olivia ♦ Dreamcatcher

So! ~~Against all better judgement~~ Out of curiosity, I watched the pilot of the US version of Life On Mars tonight.

( it took twenty minutes of watching before I felt like hanging myself with my bedsheets )

Okay, folks, that's it for me. I tried to like it, I really did, but . . . no. I just spent most of it yelling at the tellyvision & sighing loudly. I'm impressed that I made it thought the whole thing, actually. ~~Now where's the booze, so I can forget this tripe?~~

Mmm, now I have a headache. Stupid show, making me pop blood vessels with its idiocy!

Also, before Life On Mars, I watched Supernatural! I haven't watched it since the first three eps of season three, so that was . . . kind of nice. A little too gory for me though. Ugh. & the previews for Gossip Girl reminded me why I don't watch mainstream American television any more - IT'S SHIT. (but then again, I hate Gossip Girl, so maybe I'm a bit biased.)

I think we've been in here a bit too long. I feel irate
