CLAMP rambling and Doctor Who 4x05

I don't know if these Tsubasa spoilers are true or not, but if they are, that's even more stupid than anything I ever expected. A lot of people in that thread posted reasons why it wouldn't make any sense and I agree with all of them, but, well. It's CLAMP. I wouldn't put it past them to pull off something this stupid. Then again, if they can screw up their own canon, so can I! :D So if these spoilers turns out to be the real thing, my new philosophy for CLAMP fanfic will be "Let's pick the bits of canon I like and ignore the rest. IT'S WHAT THE PROS DO!"


... anyway. Yeah. Who.


- It was predictable and a little slow, but overall fun. And I liked it better than the previous one, including the unintentionally funny bits.

- I miss the Brig too, Doctor! I've only seen him twice and I miss him anyway! But I'm glad he got some lovin'. Although it's always a bit weird to see South America as "somewhere very far away"...

- Speaking of that, according to UNIT's map there are no cars at all south of Buenos Aires. Okay!

- Donna is made of awesome. But we know that.

- So they did kill Ross after all... But UNIT as a whole got some love, and that's a good thing. For a moment I thought "but the Valiant is just moving the gas somewhere else", but that was quickly replaced with "this is Who and there's no point in using logic". Which is the reason why the igniting the atmosphere thing didn't bother me either.

- My favourite part was Martha's line about how being away made her better. Finally! Especially because one of my main problems with last week's episode was the whole "the Doctor is bad for you" thing. So, YAY for the Doctor as a good influence! And YAY for the Doctor finally thanking Martha, because really, it was about time.

Yes, I'm getting used to seeing South America considered devoid of cars, mostly. If only that would mean I don't get stuck on traffic...

Hmmm, now I'm curious. I didn't see how Peru looked... I was distracted by the HEY GUYS HALF OF ARGENTINA AND CHILE ARE COMPLETELY CAR-FREE thingy.

ROSS IS NOT DEAD HE WAS JUST PLAYING POSSUM AND NOTHING WILL CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE.

Re: Tsubasa spoilers: oh dear god I hope not. That's just too many nonsensical cliches in one "plot twist".

I don't care about the clichés at all. That's your regular TRC style.

What I hate about the spoilers is that if they're true, then they're completely destroying CCS canon.

We can only hope this doesn't happen.

On Doctor Who...when Donna was watching the broadcast of the Doctor and the Sontarons, did you see that flash of Rose's face? I swear it was there.

It was definitely there! I had nothing intelligent to say about it so I forgot to mention it, heh. I don't really have any theories about what's going on with Rose...

Cristina les tendría que haber echado la culpa a los Sontarans. XP

Y sobre CLAMP, ¿ABBA o Miranda!?

Creo que es a los únicos a los que todavía no les echó la culpa. XD

Miranda! es como más CLAMPesco.
