'Serenity'


Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon  

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

I think, in a way, losing Donna is ultimately more heartbreaking to him than losing Rose.

Well, yes. Because he didn't take anything away from Rose. In fact, he gave her a copy of himself. It might make him feel a little verklempt, but ultimately he knows Rose will never be able to forget him. And that's what most people crave, being remembered.

For Donna, he had to take himself back and leave her with less. She lost her memories and he lost her memories of him, too.

As for OTP, Doctor/Capt. Jack all the way. :)

Barb posted a Who casting spoiler about 22 posts ago. I edited it out.

Please, no spoilers in this thread, even in spoiler-font. Casting spoilers go in the Spoiler Lite thread.

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

I never even noticed that, Jon.

I think the Doctor left Donna with more than she was before he met her, even if it wasn't more than she became with him. It was just different.

“Not dead yet!”

Sorry, Jon. Glad I at least white-fonted it.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I usually dislike fanvids - I know it's a matter of taste, but I hate most of the music the fans attach to it, and it makes it ridicules to me

Clearly you've only been seeing the crappy ones, Shir. Laura Shapiro (who is, conveniently, laurashapiro on LJ) has made at least two completely awesome Doctor Who vids, as well as some completely awesome Buffy vids, for that matter. If you're interested, I think you might be pleasantly surprised the number of really good vids out there -- with much better music than Evanescence!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Is it Charmax or LithiumDoll who made that great Master vid to "Don't Stop Me Now"?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Charmax. She's one of those vidders I'd gladly follow into totally unfamiliar fandoms. Er, not that I have too many of those left over.

But as an introduction to what vids can do in the hands of folks who know what they're doing goes, one can do a lot worse than Seah & Margie's "Handlebars." Sweet Mother of Moses, I love that vid A LOT.

Oh, oh, and Eunice. "Moons of Jupiter" and "Don't Touch That Dial", which is a Martha vid. And greensilver's "Everything's Not Lost", which is a lovely soothing sort of coda to whatever the finale of the last season was called. (I'm on cold meds. Forgive me.)

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Oh! And that gorgeous Donna vid sweetestdrain did, to Laura Veir's "Don't Lose Yourself." What a perfect song choice. And the way the vidder judiciously used a simple after effect at the end to drive her point home. It killed me dead. [link]

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

[link] one of the best DW fanvids i've ever watched. it is Rose/Doctor shippy though!

seduff does some of the BEST AU vids i've ever seen in any fandom ever. they're absolutely flawless.
