Time Crash.

Made of squee.

Made of cheerfully irreverent, poking-fun-at-ourselves happysquee, no less.

I'll forgive Steven Moffat for scaring the pants off me in Blink¹, now.

Despite my mother heaping scorn on The Wet Vet In Outer Space all through my childhood (although, in her defense, she loved Peter Davison in All Creatures... and A Very Peculiar Practice) the Fifth Doctor has always been my favorite² so I probably fall into the immensely easy to please category when it comes to a multi-Doctor story featuring him.

"I know who you are. You're a fan."

I laughed so hard, I not only scared the cat off my lap, but badly startled the other one who was taking a nap in the living room, down the hall. Meanwhile, my husband - watching Heroes on the DVR - merely commented "You're watching Time Crash, aren't you? Granted, he knows me rather well.

I'm sure the anti-fanservice crowd are pissing and moaning but to hell with them. In small doses - such as this, especially when the one taking the piss is one of our own - it's harmless good fun.

Now I feel all obligated to make a donation. Is the charity done collecting, or is it a year-round thing? Hell, I just donated some dosh to the WGA strike-fund. I can spare the same for another worthy cause... (edit: I see it isn't too late to donate. Hooray!)

PS. I totally need icons from this story.

PPS. Am also recommitted to doing the period-Edwardian lady's garb in cream and red for the G1 cricket match in '08. I just hope ren_wench will agree to trim the hat for me...

PPPS. Am completely overexcited about Chicago TARDIS. Guess who only just realized that one of the guests wrote one of my favorite Big Finish audios? And Jason Haigh-Ellery will be there! Jeeze, the only thing that would make it better was if some production f/x dudes were there, because I'm a sucker for that sort of thing. *ahem* If you'll excuse me, my husband insists that I must write I will not frighten the nice chaps from Big Finish a hundred times...

¹ - Seriously. That was the first Doctor Who story to make my skin creep since I was about six...

² - Don't tell him that the Eighth is sneaking up on him. It would break his hearts.

There's an icon round-up in the_davison_den (formerly davison_weekly - they bought a rename token during the sale).

Oh, excellent! Thank you for the lead!

EIGHT?? Seriously? 8 is gaining on 5?? I could maybe forgive you if it was 9 or 10...but 8?? :) :)

Listen to the audios. Ignore the telemovie. Read a few of the books. Trust me, it makes sense, especially if you do the 'ignore the telemovie' bit.

(I have a fair whack of said audios, if you'd ever like to borrow them...)

"I know who you are. You're a fan."

Darn near pee'd my pants when that line came up.

Though I do have to say "You never forget your first
Doctor" and this was brill.
