I cut my fandom shipper teeth on Sam/Jack in SG-1, which is why so often I'm bowled over by canon in DW. When Sam was heading off to Atlantis, there was a picture of Jack with her stuff. Well...it was probably with her stuff. Or maybe it was in a trash can? It's hard to tell! *flails*

So after 10 years S/J shippers are left wondering 'suitcase vs. trash can' and if a picture of Jack means *anything*. That pretty much sums it up.

Contrast that to S3 of DW where you have the Doctor lamenting Rose's loss multiple times and even the blatant human-form drawing of her. I don't know what to do with myself when TPTB are shippier than me! I'm used to cursing their name and shaking my fist in their general direction for being coy for a decade. Not where I look at something I wrote and decide that canon once again out-shipped me.

I'm not sure why I have this strange issue with DW - TPTB of this show have said 25-ways to Sunday that they intentionally wrote the ship, love the ship, etc. But yet there's this SG-1 mentality in the back of my mind. The mentality of watching S4 of SG-1 with things like "Divide and Conquer" but then six years later I'm still wondering, 'suitcase or trash can?' I think I keep waiting for the DW rug to get pulled out from under me.

Boy it'd be nice to see a happy ending for a change. These days it's all about the tragedy. I'm sick to death of tragedy.
I have found all the eyeballs! Ned continued to be completely useless. Dump him, Nancy! However, in spite of Ned this was a fun one. I always wish they were longer, but this one wasn't too short like some of the others. Also, they had a whole bunch of awards you could have won at the end, depending on how you played the game. One was an award for "spending way too much time with that creepy dummy." MWAH. I wouldn't mind if they put a bit more of that type of humor in the game. Speaking of which, why has there never been Monkey Island 5? Oh, the dialog from that!

"Ahh, the middle finger, the most communicative of fingers."

"That pig-shaped bush frightens and confuses me."

"I'M the Anti-LeChuck?"
"Don't be silly! The Anti-LeChuck is three meters tall, has a prehensile tail, a forked tongue, and the number '1138' stamped on his forehead!"
I have saved the laundry room! A guy and I walked up to the laundry room at the same time, stepped in and found thick smoke from burning/melting rubber everywhere. We both quickly stepped out. Guy hopped around, just kind of fanning the open doorway. Yeah, that'll stop whatever's the problem. I held my breath, poked my head in, spotted the smoking machine, turned it off and ran back out. *That'll* stop the problem. I wonder if that guy would have continued to fan the doorway if the machine had actually burst into flames.
