I. I was searching through some old posts looking for a link, and saw this exchange on my inappropriate COE joke post:

afterthree, re: Torchwood:

"For serious. How can anyone take a show with a space whale in it seriously."


LOL FOREVER, Chelle.

II. It seems I will be heading out to Montreal to visit goldy_dollar next weekend, which is exciting. By my Canadian standards Montreal is not really "far away", but it is still "away" and I will take what I can get at this point.

III. Day 11 – Your Favourite Season (Classic or New)

Series 4



There is basically no contest tbh. I really really like s1, s2, and s3 as well, and I enjoyed s5 a lot if not in the same way, but series 4 has Ten and Donna and Martha and Rose, so really the others don't stand a chance. Series 4 gave me DoctorDonna Friends and Turn Left and the party in the TARDIS and Cloen/Rose and the Emo Rain of Pathetic Fallacy, and looking back I think it has a higher concentration of awesome episodes than the others. Basically, series 4, I love so much about the things you choose to be.

Also, it gave us this gif:

LOL SPACE WHALES.

Also, I AM JEALOUS. And you had better come back to Montreal when I am there. THAT'S AN ORDER.

Also, yay s4. I have no intelligent comment to make, but I agree with the awesome.

BRB JUDGING ANYONE WHO TAKES A SHOW WITH SPACE WHALES SERIOUSLY

The most appealing thing about Montreal right now is that it is not Ottawa. AND YES MAYBE THIS TIME I WILL NOT HAVE ANOTHER MYSTERIOUS SUMMER ILLNESS.

S4 was awesome. I love them all, but I can't argue with that hugging gif.

Opal: JE: make hugs not shipwarsshinyopals on July 18th, 2010 01:45 am (UTC)
*HIDES MULTIPLE IN DEPTH POSTS ABOUT SHOWS WITH SPACE WHALES* YEAH, WHO'D TAKE IT SERIOUSLY? ;-)

*PETS* Well I'd say you should come up to the lake house when I'm there too but I HAVE SHOT-GUNNED THE BEDROOM I HAD LAST SUMMER OK.

The hug-in-the-TARDIS is like... MOMENT OF AWESOME. ACTUALLY, THAT WHOLE SCENE. THE TOWING THE EARTH AND THEN THE HUGGING :D :D :D :D :D :D
Kali: dw :: eleven :: way worse than scottish_thirty2flavors on July 18th, 2010 01:59 am (UTC)
I CERTAINLY NEVER WOULD. I want a starwhale icon.

I HAD THAT BEDROOM AFTER YOU. AND ALSO THE BROKEN OLD COMPUTER. And... possibly flipflops? I feel like there were a lot of things where it was like "OH THIS WAS OPAL'S WHEN SHE WAS HERE." Clearly that is just how it was for Martha.

YES I LOVE THAT SCENE. IDC IF IT IS FANSERVICE. I AM A FAN. I APPROVE.
Opal: TFoP: angry/worried Doctorshinyopals on July 18th, 2010 02:02 am (UTC)
I only want a starwhale icon if it says something appropriate on it. Like "LOL", for example. XD

YES, EXACTLY. YOU ARE MARTHA.

AND WHY DO FANS COMPLAIN ABOUT FANSERVICE. I LIKE TO BE... SERVICED.

hay just a reminder that you're going to visit montreal a lot this coming year js
Kali: misc :: internet -- FOREVER_thirty2flavors on July 18th, 2010 04:27 am (UTC)
U NO IT
Janet: stock: Montrealjanetmaca on July 18th, 2010 03:06 am (UTC)
Aww Montreal. The city I have a love/hate relationship with. ♥
Kali: dw :: ten/rose :: going my way?_thirty2flavors on July 18th, 2010 04:29 am (UTC)
Right now Montreal has a ridiculous amount going for it merely by virtue of being not Ottawa.
Janet: stock: duckling teapotjanetmaca on July 18th, 2010 01:41 pm (UTC)
Aww, poor Ottawa.
alephlacunaz on July 18th, 2010 04:05 am (UTC)
Why aren't you coming to Toronto.
Kali_thirty2flavors on July 18th, 2010 04:14 am (UTC)
Toronto is like twice as far as Montreal

Do you have a pull-out sofa
aleph: i'm projecting some blood herelacunaz on July 18th, 2010 05:25 am (UTC)
But Toronto is not in Quebec

I have a crazy-comfortable inflatable mattress that Kyle is very proud of and enough extra blankets and pillows to smother several children at once
Kali: misc :: internet -- FOREVER_thirty2flavors on July 18th, 2010 05:50 am (UTC)
THAT IS A FAIR POINT!

I think this also raises the question of, why are you not coming to Ottawa?
aleph: loosen up a bit yeah?lacunaz on July 18th, 2010 02:22 pm (UTC)
omg hyperbole and a half icon

If I take a train and randomly show up in Ottawa one day, can I sleep on your couch?
Dani: dw // 10/donna // puzzlingdashafeather on July 18th, 2010 09:53 am (UTC)
S4 is awesome. I hear many people think RTD's Who started to suck after series 3 and I can't get down with that at all. w/e people, his entire run was brilliant.
Kali: dw :: doctordonna :: isn't that good?_thirty2flavors on July 18th, 2010 04:08 pm (UTC)
Whaaaaaat. I know lots of people didn't like the specials, and to be fair I only liked 2 of the 4, but COME ON, SERIES 4 IS AWESOME. Ugh whatever fandom. WHATEVER.
Liz: DW: Rose gunbazcat89 on July 18th, 2010 12:38 pm (UTC)
OH FUCK YEAH, SEASON 4
Kali: dw :: smith & jones :: sorry_thirty2flavors on July 18th, 2010 04:09 pm (UTC)
FUCK YEAH ROSE TYLER AND HER BIGASS GUN
Sarah Catherine: lunaelirrina on July 18th, 2010 01:20 pm (UTC)
The question becomes, is there a difference between space whales and star whales? Other than that star whales sound prettier.

I was going to say something about the responses the provoked, but I couldn't quite figure out what I was thinking, so I will simply say that Torchwood remains incompetent while Amy is able to figure out what to do. Oh, Torchwood. (rolling my eyes).
