Chopping broccoli...chopping broccoli...
Jan. 8th, 2007 09:48 amSo apparently there's this "Broccoli Test" going around where you can put it to your pairing to see if they pass. Basically, it's, in essence, wandering into a grocery store and being able to non-verbally communicate "we need broccoli" to the other person without actually pointing at broccoli.
See, Jack and Sam of SG-1? I'd think they've got this nailed and would actually be quite scary when it comes to this. Probably a lot of it would be from all those years in the field where you *couldn't* talk to communicate some of the time.
The Doctor and Rose, on the other hand? While there was quite a bit of non-verbal stuff going on between them in S2, you still had miscommunication. Even during the *verbal* moments. :D Of course, they would then amusingly proceed to bitch at each other about the failure, even in front of a monster. "YOU SAID BLUE!" "I SAID NOT BLUE!" This is really part of what amuses me about them - some of the time they're completely in sync and other times on opposite wavelengths where they blink at each other. :D
"Carrots? Bleh. Rose, where's the broccoli?"
"Broccoli? You never said anything about broccoli."
"Well, you were all the way across the market and since I'm not allowed to do the telepathy thing with you..."
"Right. Stay out of my head, thanks."
"...I gave you that 'we're out of broccoli' sign."
"Doctor, you raised an eyebrow. That could mean anything from 'I'd like some broccoli' to 'I get the odd feeling the universe will implode in thirty seconds.'"
"Yeah, but this time it was the broccoli instead of impending doom."
