Doctor Who: The Movie. Minute 25 - end
Hmm. Is that supposed to be the sonic screwdriver? And a sonic yo-yo?
And the Doctor has a moment with a Nixon mask. Huh. So...hospital staff by day, ren-fest workers by night?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Okay, seriously. How is this not a major slash pairing?! "I need the Doctor's body." ~ The Master.
The Doctor on acid.
BWAH! "Hi. I'm Dick Jackass. I'm gonna just burn the x-ray of scary double hearts here a sec. Hold on. There." *SNORT*
Ooooh, the Doctor making the moves on the other doctor in the elevator. And with the open shirt and "here, listen to my hearts *wink nod*" And they say he's asexual! Ha!
Okay, gotta say that the mind reading thing is a wee bit creepy.
Um...how did the Master get into the TARDIS?
Awww! Reference to the Doctor's dad! So, NOT looms. Heh heh.
Wow. Cloister room. Like I've said before, the TARDIS is frickin Disneyland. That they never show. Also, am kinda sad that the kid's encounter with the Eye of Harmony didn't turn him into an egg.
*SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCH* See? NOT asexual! HA!
OMGTHEDOCTORISHALFHUMAN!!!!11!!! Heh. Knew that before, actually. Wonder if they'll ever mention that bit of fan flailing in the new series.
Hmm. The Earth could get sucked into the Eye of Harmony if not closed? Kind of a design flaw there.
Yes, tea really is the answer to everything, eh Doctor? Also, midnight? Why is everything always midnight?
Awww. The Doctor snuggles up to Grace. *pats*
Yup. TOTAL Master/Doctor UST. Come on!
Can Time Lords spit acid? Or did the Master just puke? I'm really not sure what just happened.
Director of movie: "Dammit, we paid for chickens and we're going to get shots of chickens. LOTS of shots of chickens."
The Doctor talks some shit involving making Grace's dreams coming true today. I'm thinking he's chatting her up. She buys it and shoots out a police radio. I'm not exactly sure what I should be saying here.
How was this movie made in the 90s? How? It's just so 80s.
Again, the Master/Time Lords can slime people? Am confused.
HUH? So the alarm is pulled but yet there's a dude who feels the need to do a little vacuuming. Even though there was a party going on seconds earlier. CONFUSED.
DUDE. Time Lords ARE Goa'ulds! That Master outfit? That's some classic Baal right there. HEE!!
Hmm. The Doctor and bondage seem to go together frequently. Also, wow. Yeah. Very crucifixion-like. You know, in the fix-it fic I'm working on I had Jack give an acerbic, backhanded reference to the Doctor as Jesus, but that was only based on all the S2 god references. Score for me, I suppose.
The Master: "I'm taking all your lives! Ooooh, I am *so* going to enjoy being bipolar two incarnations from now."
Sweet Lord, I am watching Time Lord sex.
Just reverse the polarity, Grace!
I'm not really sure what just happened, but the music is telling me it's dramatic.
"I love you, Doctor!" "I love you, Master!" Just cry, Doctor. You know you want to.
Where the hell are the dead leaves in the TARDIS coming from??
Awww, poor Doctor. Grace rejects him. *pats him*
*bops to enthusiastic theme music*
Well, that was... Yeah.

I thought he was very adorable. There's this childlike innocence to him, for lack of a better description. Ten *acts* like he's 5, but Eight in this movie had the actual childlike qualities. And seemed to be lacking the general superiority/arrogance of other incarnations I've seen - Four, Nine and Ten. Not saying that's good or bad one way or the other, just something I noticed.
I totally ignore most of the continuity it inflicts, however. 'Cause, yeah.
Heh heh. Well, you gotta. DW's so funny - half the time you're trying to decide which canon to throw out. Ha!
It might also be because Paul McGann has very pretty eyesHe does!

They go really interesting places with this in the books. At one point someone asks him how old he is, and he thinks a moment and says "Three." And is then forced to explain that he means this body is three, and launch into some convoluted stuff about his actual age, ending with the person who originally asked the question being a bit freaked out by it, even though she pretty much knew. And the Doctor's like, "See? That's why I like three better."
There are also all sorts of allusions to this incarnation being a reboot of sorts, like he shucked off a lot of stuff he didn't like about himself and started over. He's not entirely sure himself how deliberate it is, or how successful for that matter -- as opposed to flat-out denial, and just running away from the complications of his own past actions.
It gets very involved. That's the main thing I've found with the books -- they go in-depth with these ideas that you can only glancingly hint at in the TV medium. It makes it feel not quite like Dr. Who, and yet it is. Like you can sort of see all this stuff working under the surface of the show, but it gets weird because I don't always agree with the interpretation. I really cherry-pick things I choose to accept from the books and audios both. Which you can get away with, since the canonicity of anything not seen on TV is completely up in the air as far as both the fandom and the Beeb are concerned.

That's an interesting concept, and one I've thought about before. It would be easy to do something like that - make a fresh start with stuff you don't like. But then again, if he didn't like it before, why wait until a regeneration to make a change? And just how much can you get away from the past just with a new body?

Oh totally. I mean, even with the 9 & 10 novels I've read, which really weren't *that* deep, there was occasionally some very snifty ideas here and there.

This really is the oddest fandom I've run across. :D
