May. 26th, 2010 07:59 pmSo, um, I think I've been watching too much Classic Doctor Who, because I had a fabulous dream last night wherein I went to a book signing for Terry Pratchett and when I got to the front of the line, Terry Pratchett was Jon Pertwee!
Also, I went into Old Who thinking "Well, gee, I love Simm as the Master and I'm kind of (okay, totally) a Doctor/Master shipper (...in a fucked-up way, not a healthy fluffy way -- what kind of freak do you think I am?) but I'd better not get my hopes up for a super-slashy Original Flavor Master. I mean, it was the seventies."
BOY WAS I WRONG. Here we have the Master concernedly taking the Doctor's pulse after an overly-strenuous torture session, then reviving him and giving him a nice little pep talk before threatening to kill his current companion and throwing him back into a cell to recover. This wouldn't happen if you didn't treat him so badly, Master. I mean, really. Bring him some damn flowers once in a while -- not the plastic kind that kill you, actual fucking flowers. If you want to talk to him, you could try just picking up the phone, NOT TRYING TO KILL HIM, and talking to him for once. And continuing to not try and kill him. Relationships are not as complex as you've been making them, hon.
Also, keep in mind that here I was all "omg Liz Shaw/Three/Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart = OT3" and was so disappointed to watch Liz Shaw packed off onto a bus (right after the Nazis vs. volcanic zombie werewolves ep -- SERIOUSLY, that was CRACKILY AWESOME), and now suddenly there is a whole season of Masterly crazy I can look forward to. (ALTHOUGH, if anyone happens to know of any goodfic with those three, paired/triaded up or not, do link. Also, good Twofic that does not massacre Jamie or his accent.)
