I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Uncharacteristically for me, I have trouble suspending disbelief for Dean slash despite the character's hotness. I think it's because he's told someone he doesn't swing that way in canon, and my read of the charcter is that he's totally the type of guy who would think nothing of exclaiming "Dude! I bagged a Seattle Seahawks linebacker last night!" if he were into that sort of thing.

He'd been whiny brattish early twenties WB guy, and without me, at least, paying attention, he grew into a real actor. Sort of like DB did.

I've always felt DB was assessed a bit unfairly by fandom. He played Angel very interestingly with multiple layers in the series premiere, and then had to spend 20 episodes yearningly staring across the room and sighing "Buffy..." before he was allowed to show us what he could do again.

I can definitely see him saying this, especially to Sam.

I never had any real wincing at the acting moments with DB the way I have with JP once or twice (but that is long since past), but I do think he got much more interesting once Angelus came around.

hip deep in pie

Not even at his "I've lost me Lucky Charms" accent, Lee?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Okay, maybe then.

Bad accents don't bother me as much as other kinds of bad acting though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Fiona, I agree with you. In fact, it's staying with me more than Satan's Pit, and I think it's about the change in the possessed/whatever characters, the Doctor's haplessness, and the sheer weirdness of seeing him like a normal woman.

All is well that ends in pizza.

any more Who-watchers out there?

Episode 3.8 and the upcoming 3.9 are actually based on a Dr. Who novel. Russell T Davies liked it so much he got the author to adapt the book for the current doctor.

I just parsed the end of ita's comments above in a very odd way. I took the word "like" to mean "acting like", and was briefly very confused.

I enjoyed the episode, but was put off by the acting of the possessed schoolboy. It felt too forced. I did love the younger boy with the watch. Is he the one in Love Actually?
