Not much going on recently - just been chilling and enjoying my vacation before the job begins.
voiceofisaac and
gammahamster are presently off at a D&D game, so I've got the house to myself, and am enjoying the quiet. Well, the quiet between the SHRIEK of an explosion of cicadas we've had over the past week.
Tonight, I decided to break out the five Doctor Who VHS tapes that were given to me after someone donated them at the library and the library didn't want 'em. Flipped through 'em, decided on The Five Doctors. Now mind you, the majority of what I know about Doctor Who begins and ends with Tom Baker, the only series that aired in Arkansas when I was a girl. Okay, I've watched a lot of the most recent ones, but they're not the issue here. Am NOT familiar at all with the first few doctors.
Anyway. Dear *god* this thing is crack. I don't think I've laughed so hard in ages. It's like one endless Bob Hope road movie with the Docs and their Companions. The First is just all awesome cranky "I was the original, so go get in the kitchen, Tegan" and ignoring Tegan's look of death(I need to find vids of the 1st if he's this awesome here). The 2nd is so eccentric and has the most horrific coat, the 3rd and his awesome hoopty (did he call that thing Bessie?) and his reunion with Sarah Jane - and then of course there's Tom, and then the Fifth...and what is with that big stalk of celery in his lapel???
And of course, the Master is awesome. <i>You want me to go into the Death Zone? Why? Oh, right, I'm expendable, you Gallifreyan bast - oh, wait, I get to go save the Doctor? And you're gonna offer me what to do this? This is utterly delicious.</i>
Thank you, Five Doctors, for making me a rabid fan that wants to see the old seasons now, even though I have very little idea of who ANY of these people are.
Now to go back to watch the rest of this awesome little show.
