Vid Rec, Post #29

[usedtobeljs]

I send good autumn thoughts out to you all (except for anyone in the Southern Hemisphere, to whom I send good spring thoughts).

Anyway, so there's a new Doctor, and a new show-runner, and it's fine. I don't think I'm the audience for Chibnall's work, but there's no law that says I have to be. May others enjoy. ;)

But in passing, I rec this vid, "Rain King," of the most recent Doctors, most particularly the end of the story for my Doctor -- Twelve. I just love the image-making here, and River Song, and the unreal beauty of P Cap.

Anyhoo, happy new Who to all who celebrate.

That is an interesting video. Happy autumn to you too - we are currently enjoying a bit of rain, with lightning off in the distance.

Enjoy the rain! [hugs]

Ah, well, in a few years there'll be another new face.

[usedtobeljs]

Yes, and there are lots of old faces to go back and enjoy too. It's not a problem. :)

Happy Saturday, Barb!

Lovely vid.

I think I was in the wrong place personally to appreciate Moffatt's Who but I *loved* Capaldi. We recently watched the last season and really enjoyed it so I suspect I would do better with the whole of Moffatt's run with a rewatch.

I enjoyed the new Doctor and having grown up with more Companions in the TARDIS I'm looking forward to that aspect of it.

Good autumn thoughts to you too. We are ricocheting between proper autumn and an Indian summer here at the moment but doubtless things will settle down eventually.

I totally understand! Also, Twelve had a real character arc, changing from darker, conflicted Doctor to (as one person I've seen put it) punk-rock professor/grandpa; you might not be in the mood for early Twelve. And I also love "The Husbands of River Song" to the depths of my being, so Twelve/River is always on my mind. :)

I liked the Tardis team in this series opener, but because I liked Grace more than the others, her loss left a sour taste in my mouth as well.

Hugs hugs! Hope that proper autumn comes for you!

The vid was amazing and I am especially glad to see that you have both power and light where you are this week, given the horrific storming all around.

Many thanks for the sharing and even more hgs while we stagger around Seattle dazed by the not-rain. We’re in Seattle! What is this sun thing?

[usedtobeljs]

Yikes, sun in Seattle in October! Hope the visit is otherwise good.

No real weather issues from last week in my part of the subtropics, thank heavens.

All hugs!
