I can't seem to stop watching the last 5 minutes of The Stolen Earth. HELP ME.

Also, I found Jelly Babies at the normal Albertsons grocery store yesterday! HA! (The seem to have a teeny British imports section now, as well as some other imports.) So...Jelly Babies aren't as chewy as Gummy Bears but they are 50,000 times as sweet. *goes into a sugar coma*

ETA: The Stolen Earth spoilers in the comments.

Jelly Babies are awesome! Slightly less awesome than they used to be, but still awesome. *g*

Did they change the recipe or something?

Exactly how should we stop you OCD'ing over the last 5 minutes of TSE? Physical violence? References to Romana? Pointers towards shiny things?

As for jelly babies, ha! Maybe the sugar coma will distract you from being able to watch that section of the episode over and over again? Here's hoping, anyway.

I'm not sure! Not even the Bunnies Theater could distract me for very long!

Oooooh!

I seem to be having the same problem.
The sugar coma probably isn't helping. Fluff begets fluff. :)

Oh, good point.

I cooked things! And went to work! It helped oh, man I haven't watched it since last night wheeen will I be able to re-watch again? a little.

Nugget carries Jelly Babies! And also Fruit Pastilles and Wine Gums. I passed on the Jelly Babies because they appeared to be coated in powdered sugar. I like Fruit Pastilles, though (obviously, crystallized sugar > powdered sugar). And I haven't worked up the nerve to try the Wine Gums (which are not, you know, gum, but wine flavored gummi candy. *eyes England*).

I have to go to work in a bit, so I won't be able to watch. *stares at pictures*

They seem to have a little coating on them, although not exactly sure what it is...

And gummy wine? HEH. I think I need to try that.

I have access to iplayer at WORK. This is not good. I don't even have sound. Yet I'm still randomly watching bits.

(you know, I'm sure that hand is glowing separately to the doctor in the last few moments..)

I can't stop watching it either! And that, unfortunately, leads to more speculating and lack of sleep *head!desk* RTD, look what you've done to me!

Jelly Babies are quite sweet, aren't they? I can only handle a few cause my brain starts to hurt from all the sugar (that could also be from the fact I'm shaking from all the sugar coursing through my veins, but who knows ;)).

And went to work!

I tried that.. then I found out I can go on iplayer at work.

...

Saturday is only 5 days away, right?

I hate the speculating. Hate it. I could come up with 10 very different scenarios right now, and none of them would be what will happen.

HEH. Well, I definitely can't eat more than one at a time.

I don't know. If they did, it's nothing hugely obvious, they just don't quite taste like they used to. (It could be that the only thing that changed was my age...)

I've just checked wikipedia, which is quite useless in this case. Except, I did find this. And can I just say, OMG I WAS A DEPRIVED SCHOOL CHILD! I never saw this experiment!

I know! I keep trying to pause it on a shot to show it, but can't quite get one. In typical DW clever camera work, it's right on the edge of the screen so not in all the shots, just some angles.

It amuses me that I just bought american candy (we used to have nerds in this country and James & I were having a random conversation about them - I googled & found out they're still in america :D) and it's on it's way to my flat, and you're eating our sweets :D I think sweets should all be global. That way we all get the good stuff. And I wouldn't have to pay extortionate prices for jelly bellys at the department store in the city centre.

Truth. But I can't seem to stop even when I'm going, "Well that won't happen." It's like drugs, honestly, I can't seem to stop...

GUH, I can't stop watching the last 5 minutes either! D: And when I'm not watching it, I'm thinking about it. This is very annoying as it prevents me from concentrating on anything productive. *sigh*

But oh, it's a glorious 5 minutes. ♥

Hee! well, maybe you can pause long enough to answer a question for me. :) When did the Doctor get his hand (the one in the jar) back? I've missed bits and pieces it seems.

[identity profile] goldy-dollar.livejournal.com 2008-06-30 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
ME, TOO.

And the part from the Confidential. Even though they play "Time after Time," which is just DUMB. IT STILL MAKES ME FLAIL.

Now that the hurt is fading a bit, I think I'm finally have some squee. XD

OMG I KNOW!!!

OMG Jelly Babies? Seriously?? *is now going to have to find them*

[identity profile] jai-23.livejournal.com 2008-06-30 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
YOU. ARE. NOT. ALONE. [snickers]

I've watched it far too many times to count. And I stop at exactly the point where Rose's Theme turns into some sneaky Dalek music. It hurts after that. But before? TV GOLD. :)

Eeeeeee, jelly babies are the best. Without a doubt. You have to eat them head first otherwise it hurts them. I like the green ones! Mmmmm...

Resistance is futile. I keep watching that and then the 'good part' of Confidential. Funny thing is, the Confidential part makes me almost teary whereas the episode itself just makes me anxious.

"...more than anything in the universe." BEST QUOTE EVER.

(Part of me thinks if they would just break my heart I could maybe move on from the obsession and get more done in life!)

Ahh, I love Jelly Babies! I discovered they had them at Cost Plus/World Market and have been addicted ever since.

And I keep on watching as well. It's tiding me over to this Sat so it's ok! =D

[identity profile] misssimm.livejournal.com 2008-06-30 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I really should rewatch but I've only just calmed down! If I watch it again I'll be off again and Saturday will be much further away!!

Mmmmm. Jelly Bellys. My favorite is buttered popcorn which is disgustingly good.
