I have a new idea

So I am taking English Comp II now, and my teacher, Professor Seymour, is awesome. (short version) And at the beginning of every class, he has a writing prompt, that's usually interesting. So sometimes I come up with awesome responses to them, and I was thinking, maybe I could post the prompts and responses on here, for your entertainment!

Upcoming posts include which superhero would win in a fight: Superman vs. Batman and Superman vs. Spiderman (my answers might surprise you), and lists of awesome things, and ponderings about time travel.

If you feel the urge to comment on this post, tell me what you think of my new idea! And feel free to comment on whatever else. I really don't care either way, but it's a good way to let me know which content you prefer and let me know you're reading!

Cheesy plug for comments over...I can't believe I've turned into one of those people. You know what? Don't comment! If you do, you'll just be feeding my pathetic-ness. So, really, it's up to you.

Allons-y.

(Because "Geronimo" seemed too exciting for late at night, when I'm tired)

Doctor Who S7: E10---Hide

In this episode, the Doctor and Clara go to an old house in the 1970's where an empathic psychic and an ex-military professor are trying to solve the mystery of a ghost, the Witch of the Well. I won't spoil the ending.

The ending was really cheesy, actually (the twist part) and I didn't overall love the second half of the episode. What I did like, though, was the chemistry between the Doctor and Clara. They had great little quotes and back-and-forth and conversation and things. It was really funny and fun and awesome. It's the first time this season (other than the first episode of Clara, and the Christmas episode) where Clara was really likable. I love Clara, and she's awesome. But she's been sort of a dead character the last two episodes (The Rings of Akhaten and The Cold War). It felt less like she was just being than that the writers were making her be. It felt like the writers were trying to tell us who she was, and not just letting us figure it out.

BUT this episode, we were able to just rest in who Clara was, and see how she works and how she and the Doctor work together. It was great. I'm also excited for the story of this season to move along a little more. There's always those stalling episodes that are more filler, but it feels like there have been a lot of those this season. But there's only...four episodes left (!) so it'll probably pick up speed soon. The next episode looks promising.

In other news, I've gotten two of my friends addicted to Doctor Who, and gotten another of my friends to watch some of the episodes (and he likes them!). So yay for expanding Whovian-ness.

2013/New Plan?

I don't know if I still have regular viewers. If I do, I'm sorry.

I'm so, so sorry.

Haha. I'm back. Hopefully.

This is my first post of 2013! So that's exciting. It's only four months in...There's a bunch of episodes from season 7 of Doctor Who I haven't written about (I gave up on season 6; suffice it to say, it was my favorite season, because it was fantastic, and amazing, and all other good adjectives). I'm not going to go back and fix it, but I will say that I'm not that impressed with season 7 so far. There were a couple of good ones in the first half (Asylum of the Daleks, Dinosaurs on a Spaceship, and the Angels Take Manhattan) and then the first episode with Clara, The Bells of St. John was good.

AND THE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL WAS FANTASTIC!!!

But everything else has been meh. Except "Hide." Hide was a good episode. I was partially distracted with drawing, so I'm going to watch it again this week. When I do, I'll blog about how awesome it was, as well as my theories about Clara, and other theories I think have some credence.

Which brings me to my new plan? I say new plan? because it's a plan, that's true. And it is new. But I don't know if it'll work. Anyway, my new plan? is to post about the new episodes as they come out. This'll give me a week in between to write about them, prevents the backlog problems I had before, and will allow you, as my loyal readers (who might not exist) to experience my understandings and ponderings of Clara. Yay you.

I don't know if there is any not Doctor Who-related content coming your way, as well. I have finals coming up in just a couple of weeks, so I'm crazy busy with school and things, so we'll see where this takes us!

Allons-y/Geronimo!
