auroracloud: vintage drawing of a woman and a lamppost against a text background (Tardis)
Ugh, it's been a terribly, terribly busy and exhausting week. And the weekend was terribly busy as well, though mostly for good reasons. Now I mainly want to lie down and eat chocolate and watch Doctor Who episodes for the next two days or so. Unfortunately that's not an option. But I'm really proud of myself that throughout this week, I managed to keep writing something every day. Wouldn't have managed it without Write Every Day to check in to.

Tonight I at least watched The Rise of the Cybermen / The Age of Steel. I love that double episode, and damn, it felt good to sink into that world again. After such a week, it made me feel whole somehow. I probably need to just try to find time to watch more of it during the next week. Losing myself to stories and characters I love, it has this amazing power of restoration.

Funny, though, although I love most of the Doctor Who S2 episodes, I'm constantly thinking "I want to watch Utopia already". Is this normal, constantly wanting to watch Utopia? Or just me? Anyway, I'd say I'm going to go a little out of order, and when I'm done with S2, I'll watch Utopia and the rest of the S3 ending before I start on Torchwood. Because I have no patience to wait for as long as it'll take me to get through two more seasons, at this rate, and I've been wanting to re-watch Utopia for ages. (I've only watched it once, for goodness's sake! At first I wasn't quite ready to watch it again, and then I had moved onto the next season and it felt weird to go back.)

Anyway, a few thoughts about The Rise of the Cybermen / The Age of Steel. The episodes aired about 10 years ago, but cut for spoilers in any case )

I had half of a "let me explain why I love Jack so much" post written, but then I re-watched School Reunion, and am not in the right mindframe for continuing that post. Instead, I want to write thoughts about the episode. Who cares that everyone else saw it 10 years ago. So here are some disjointed thoughts about it, musings about the Doctor and companions, and I'm even managing to mention Jack though he's nowhere near it.
