Oh yes. Davison is my Doctor, too. But then, I've had a great big crush on him ever since All Creatures Great and Small.

That is exactly the reason I find him palatable. Truth be told, he's pretty bland as a Doctor. (My favourite was for a long time the 3rd Doctor, who I found to embody an interesting combination of traits. And Delgado's Master was an excellent villain, well-matched to Pertwee's Doctor.) But now I think the later 7th Doctor may have edged him out. He's so intriguingly manipulative.

Sniper 2: Get back, or he'll use the gun.
The Doctor: Yes, I imagine he will. You like guns, don't you?
Sniper 1: This is a specialised weapon. It's designed for roof duty. Designed for long range. I've never used one up close before.
Sniper 2: Let him go.
Sniper 1: No.
The Doctor: No. In fact... let him come a little closer.
Sniper 1: Stay where you are.
The Doctor: Why? Scared? Why should you be scared? You're the one with the gun.
Sniper 1: That's right.
The Doctor: And you like guns, don't you?
Sniper 2: He'll kill you.
The Doctor: Of course he will. That's what guns are for. Pull a trigger. End a life. Simple, isn't it?
Sniper 1: Yes.
The Doctor: Makes sense, doesn't it?
Sniper 1: Yes.
The Doctor: A life, killing life.
Sniper 2: Who are you?
The Doctor: [to Sniper 2#] Shut up.
[back to Sniper 1#]
The Doctor: Why don't you do it then? Look me in the eye. Pull the trigger. End my life.
Sniper 1: No.
The Doctor: Why not?
Sniper 1: I can't.
The Doctor: Why not?
Sniper 1: I don't know.
The Doctor: [takes the gun] You don't, do you?
[to Sniper 2#]
The Doctor: Throw away your gun.

Mmmm, David Tennant...

Yes. This.

Yay, Seska for surviving breakfast with the out-laws.

Last night was movie watching (Miss Potter & Across the Universe), this morning is lazing about, Hardee's biscuits, and waiting for the baseball game to start in a couple of hours.

Gronk. It is too early to be on the airport shuttle. Back to Orlando I go!

Am up to season three. It started to feel a bit rushed around here, having felt very slow up til now. Want to get to Shadow War now.

I love season 3, which would have been near perfect without the appalling existence of Zathras.

this post: Daniel C. Jensen [snip] was beautiful!

Thanks O_A.

And Doctor Who talk. Good stuff.

Tennant is scheduled to be The Doctor in an episode of The Sarah Jane Adventures in Series 3, too. And not just a cameo.

I love season 3, which would have been near perfect without the appalling existence of Zathras

You not like Zathras? Pity. Zathras have good line in series.

“Zathras is used to being beast of burden to other peoples' needs. Very sad life. Probably have very sad death, but at least there is symmetry.”

I first watched Doctor Who in syndication on PBS so Tom Baker was my doctor. I see a lot of him in #10.

Did you see the 'Children in Need' mini-episode special that fits between season two (I think) and the Christmas special of that year?

Last night I saw Tennant taken over by Cassandra, and that was AWESOME! Next episode has Giles as an evil headmaster. Should be fun.

Am awake too early, considering I was up till 4am watching Dr Who. Friend called and asked if I wanted to join him visiting some bike stores. Hmmm, I could price some trikes, maybe test drive one! Sure! But full of gronk. I asked if brunch could be in order, he said sure. What is it with folks down here offering the most non-brunch things up for places to eat brunch? Last time it was a Memphis style rib joint. This time he offered up a German schnitzel place. @@ Not exactly "brunch" to me. I talked him down to Cafe Brazil. Hopefully they'll some kind of yummy egg dish.

ETA Yay Raq!!! That's awesome! So? is it a matter of choosing which of those you want? Or is it something where you get to work on a bunch of new projects at once? Either way, congrats!

My Doctor was Sylvester McCoy. Not a particularly interesting Doctor, but I grew up hiding behind the sofa while he killed scary monsters. This is very formative for a child.

I love season 3, which would have been near perfect without the appalling existence of Zathras.

It's good, but I like 4 better. Unrelentingly terrifying. There are some great moments in 3, though. Zathras not included. I think 'War Without End, I & II' is really good. And if J. Michael came up with the incredibly sinister 'Z minus - days' concept he deserves a medal.

Croissant and jam with a big pot of piping hot Yorkshire Tea.

omnis audis, [link] - the mini-episode I'm referring to. It's very short.
