Doctor/companion dynamic in New Who  

One of the marked differences between Classic Who and New Who is the role of the Doctor to his companions. Companions of the Doctor have always been made better people because of the Doctor, but in Classic Who, the Doctor was more of a father figure and mentor to his companions rather than New Who’s companions who are treated more as potential romantic companions or at the very least lifelong travel companions. I don’t think there’s anything particularly wrong with the more emotionally charged New Who, but as i watched the series four finale this past weekend, it made me realize how Russell’s more emotional treatment of New Who over the past four years corners some of the writing into a path that’s hard to wrestle away from.

confidential music?  
I'm not sure if this has already been addressed, but I was watching the Doctor Who Confidential episode "The End of an Era," and I wondered if any of you knew what songs were used in the ep? Especially the one in the very beginning, and the one during the beach scene. Or, if you know where I can find out what the songs are, let me know! Thanks so much in advance. ♥

Icons: "Journey's End" (+ Confidential)  
So, in the interest of actually finishing the set while people are still, you know, looking for icons from this episode, I limited myself to one scene. I'm sure you can guess which one. Heh. Needless to say... MASSIVE SPOILERS.

[30] Doctor Who 4.13 - Journey's End

FIC: Abduction? [4/?]  
I've been working for a year on these stories with the Doctor and an original character called Alice McAlister, for now there had been all these stories written: Cannibals from Another World, Bring me Back (Ten/Rose reunion fan fic before this "finale"), Signs of a New War, Choices, Merry Christmas Rose Tyler, Is It Legal Having Sex With a Time Lord?, The Curse of the Companions - Yes, I've really written all those.

They're settled in AU pre-Turn Left (I didn't see this coming when I wrote all those a year ago)

More information and links to download the previous stories in a single megaupload file can be found here.

Anyway...



Author: [info]x_rose_tyler
Rating: PG-12
Pairing: Ten/Alice + OC
Disclaimer: I own nothing but Microsoft Word, a creative mind, and the character of Alice (she's mine!! mwahaahaa)
Summary: Alice and the Doctor are back to London to have a break and to see Alice's family and friends. It was meant to be a short visit, but it all changes on the moment they discover that one of Alice's friends, Ann, claims to have been abducted by aliens in her own house. The Doctor and Alice have to find out what's going on in London, while they discover Ann is not the only one.

Chapter 4 can be found here
(Follow the obviously not fake cut *wink, wink*)

“You know there’s a rift in Cardiff, right? Yeah you do, you’ve been there. Well, it’s there, right, is there and it’s not supposed to move, BUT!”, he said this raising his index finger “ sometimes, just sometimes something goes wrong and the rift moves a bit and it messes up, dropping something that shouldn’t be there, BUT!” , he continued again, “it doesn’t necessarily have to be something that we can see, sometimes it’s between us, in the air...”

Liberties taken by RTD in the finale

It'll take a week to catch up on all that's been posted about the two final episodes.

Everyone else has written their own review, so I thought I would too. I was tempted to write one straight after watching Journey's End, but decided to sleep on it and write something with a clear head.

There were so many brilliant things in this episode, there are too many to mention. But, without spoiling anyone - Catherine Tate, you have outdone yourself. If there was any doubt about your acting ability before, there isn't now. David Tennant was as brilliant as always, but I wanted to single out Catherine specifically.

Now, here's my review to add to the millions of others!

"Now for something completely different"  
So a while ago I had a conversation with a friend about Doctor Who, and I told her that back in the 1980's Nevlana was going to produce a Doctor Who Cartoon (a family friend worked there and gave me sketches for my birthday a long time ago, I have since lost those sketches which would probably be worth some money now *sigh*). 

Needless to say I wasn't believed. 

But useing my all mighty Library Research skills and the help of the all mighty Wiki I was able to find the consept animation over on The Planet of the Doctor. 

Voila la linky-link.

Imagine if this HAD become a Saturday Morning Cartoon.

Guardian letters page - Doctor Who special  
I was reading the letters page of the Guardian (UK newspaper), and came across this. But to my astonishment, I found also this (the name, plus the reference to considerable age, makes it almost a dead cert that it is indeed Mr Letts).

Old Who and new Who together on the same page? No coincidence, surely. I think the letters editor is a bit of a Who nut.

ICONS, WOW!  
Hi! I'm new to making icons, and this is my first icon post. I'm still getting used to image editing, so concrit, tips, and comments more than welcome. and since I don't own Doctor Who or David Tennant, it would be silly of me to pretend I have a right to these images. Crediting and commenting are love, and feel free to take them, use them as bases or inspiration. Also, warning. some are more or less pure crack. hee! Some are animated, some are not. There are a few David Tennant ones at the end, but most are Doctor Who.

SPOILERS for all of Series 4, including Journey's End.

Something of The Three Doctors DVD  
Sorry if this is a bit random, but at least it has nothing to do with JE. So, I got the DVD recently, in case I needed cheering up after the finale (works a treat btw) and I've been watching the special features. I've seen the interview with Patrick Troughton... Just how incredibly wonderful is he? Opinions, factoids and general gushing appreciated.

Who would you choose?  
If you could pick two members of the cast of New Who and let them star (or at least reunite) in a different TV series or movie...

Whom would they be?

My vote goes to Claire Rushbrook (Ida Scott) and David Tennant.

Or Derek Jacobi (Professor Yana) and John Simm (The Master).

Really, many choices to pick from.

A question about the EDA novels...  
At the time the Eighth Doctor novels launched, I didn't really get into them. I read The Eight Doctors and Vampire Science, then decided I would stick to just picking up the odd Past Doctor novel. Recently though, I've been thinking of starting into them again - now seems a good time, with a virtually Wholess year ahead.

I'm just wondering if anyone who has read through the series could do me a favour and give some idea (two lists would be ideal, but time-consuming - I understand) of which books are 'skippable' and which aren't. Basically I want to know if there are any stand-alone novels which don't contribute at all to the ongoing story of The Eighth Doctor, so that I can make a buying list accordingly.

Thanks in advance! :)
