ok, so yes, more Doctor Who talk ahead. I'm sorry. SOMEONE talk about this with me, i feel so alone.

alright, so i don't know whether to bless or curse the BBC. i mean, first they make me fall in love with the show. Then they freakin break my damn heart with the season two finale, which i can't stop thinking about, in general, and in metaphorical terms...sadness, loneliness, etc.

but on top of it, they have this crazy website, with TONS of content. and omg, full length episode commentary you can just download. for free. they have one for each ep of season 2. not sure if they're available for season 1 or not.

the other day i listened to the one for the finale, but today. oh, lord. i was heavily leanining towards being in love with David Tennant, before. but now. wow. i listened to the Tooth And Claw (ep 2.2) commentary tonight, mostly cuz i wanted to hear more of the yummy Scottish accent without listening to the audiobooks (saving them for driving). And he's just. wow. so great. funny. totally into it. good things to say about everyone, crew, cast. the other guys too. it was like everything that makes a good commentary. i wasn't bored at all. and it almost never happens that you can kinda see these types of people in a little more "real" scenario too. it was really like these three guys were just hanging out. really kinda got a sense of the person, you know. and yeah, now i'm like fully in love. in the throes of a crazy celebrity crush (god that sounds silly). which really, for me, don't happen too often. it doesn't help matters that he's really attractive (ok, he's HOTT) in a very real, not perfect kind of way. i love how they can do that on British tv. have leading actors with flaws, who don't need to be caked in makeup and have their hair perfect all the time. Same with Billie Piper as Rose. She's not gorgeous, but definitely pretty. her makeup is generally a mess, and her hair sometimes too. Which just makes the characters so much more loveable.

He talked about how Rose and the Doctor were really "falling in love again" which was so nice and made me flail with OTP shippiness.

Once, in England, a very creepy guy attempting to get me to go out to a drink with him said this to me: "oh you're american? you guys don't talk, you sing!" talking about how lovely the accent was to him. which was odd. and creepy. but point is, its exactly how lots of us Americans feel about any sort of British accent. And my god, both the Doctor's English one and the actor's Scottish one, are like...debilitating. seriously, i wanna make out with this guy. like now.

alright, off my soapbox. will the rest of you watch this show please? i have all the eps on my computer. i can send you them on disc? it's great. i talk about it to everyone i know. even people who hate sci-fi. its got something for everyone.

sigh. at the same time, i'm desperately trying to hold back my level of involvement with this show. because a. i don't want to get burnt out and know every episode and image so well, that it isn't fresh any more and b. i don't want to be so terribly let down by subsequent episodes that i may not like as much (probably definitely won't like as much). i want it to stay this sort of glorious thing it is to me know. not like a given thing that i like and is standardly great. if that makes any sense. but right now, it's seriously like an addiction. i think about some aspect of the show randomly all day. yesterday i was crying again, randomly, about the finale. it's ridiculous. i need help. tv shows should not be filling emotional voids in my life. i recognize this.

and now i will quit before this post gets hopelessly pathetic (instead of just mostly so).

night kids. (dammit, i still need happier who icons. foo)
