Ten is the spawn of awesome! He is awespawn! Erm, I need to go to bed now.
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
BSG: Just got up to "Collaborators" in Season Three. Dear God, I'm going to be upset when I run out of episodes.

Four is really my first doctor, and Ten evokes him in the exaggerated facial expressions and mania.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
I made it through DW 2x13 tonight. ::sob:: She said she would stay with him forever?! I didn't believe her at the time, but I'm not any less sad. Also some guy walked by in the background of Torchwood at the beginning of 2x12 wearing a suit and a pink shirt. I was secretly hoping for Ianto.
I will say at this point in the series I am getting my hate on for Mickey. I'm tired of listening to him whine about being the tin dog.
i'll just say...yes.
Ha! I think that's where I started to like him. But he gets much better in the next few episodes.
tiggy and P-C, okay, I take it back. Mickey is made of Awesome. He's awespwn. And with self confidence, he suddenly became hot too. That is probably included in the definition of awespwn though.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Me too, 'Suela. Once he stopped pining after Rose and decided to be his own man, he discovered that his own man could be pretty great.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Amazing what a change setting your jaw firmly differently can make. Watched Leland Orser do it in an otherwise silly episode of Outer Limits (I know, I know) today.
Skiffy keeps dumping batches of OL, and I can't help myself. They only have three or four plots, so I can have more time to watch for reused sets (clippings are really obvious) and basic alien faces. Makes me wonder how they managed to get all those actors at those right places in their careers to do the show. I can't imagine them looking at the scripts and finding them brilliant.
Colin has an OL appearance, to tie back into current topic.
Wait. I can do one better: [link]
Actor Colin Ferguson has appeared in some of the biggest US shows of the past decade, including Malcolm in the Middle and CSI: Miami. However, given the choice, there's one series he'd love to take part in - Doctor Who.
Man, I wish he'd call Moffat. They did work together on Coupling. Then again, Moffat might hate him for it.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
What better way to gain our sympathy than to have him in jim-jams and comatose and practically in a hurt-comfort fic before he went all awespome on our asses?
Yes! Bless! And making references to Arthur Dent! Got to love that.
I'm charmed to death by the notion of Colin on Doctor Who. Or indeed Torchwood.

I rewatched the last two eps of season four last night with my sister. still makes me cry like a big ol' baby.
