heart's desire

[prof_pangaea]

yah. yah. ok. i am full of jittery anticipation all of a sudden. EXCITEMENT EXCITEMENT. someone posted a couple of scans from the latest doctor who magazine, giving brief overviews of the next series episodes RIGHT HERE. all of the excitement and hope and all that was KILLED by VotD seems to be back.

mainly i think VotD has all but disappeared from my mind, so i am looking at the other stuff with my old eyes/brain neurons, partly from the scans above, partly because i looked up martha's myspace to see if she had written anything since she's been on torchwood, and discovered an entry sandwiched between the last and the second-to-last THAT HADN'T BEEN THERE WHEN THE SERIES ENDED IN JULY. it's about the infinite quest! and she is writing it right after LotTL!

and it literally says:

"But back then, it was fun. Just seeing all those places and meeting all those people. Giant bug queens and robots and a man who was like a toad. And, yeah, saving the Earth with just a spoon. They were good times. So mad and mind-blowing and everything... and then we ended up here.

Me sitting here. Wishing it was like that again. But, after everything I've seen. After everything I've lost…

And all because of the Doctor's heart's desire.


it's like real-time retconning or something! or clarification of purpose? or maybe we should just call it "extended characterisation". whatever, dude who writes that (name escapes me suddenly) is being employed by the production staff, his writing is supposed to be an extension of intended canon at least, so... my optimisim is surfacing once again. hurrahs!

The Terrible Zodin is her illegitimate son, whom she occasionally hints was fathered by the Doctor? And even though he knows perfectly well that this is impossible, he still worries?

YES.

btw, have you noticed that your second paragraph would sort of a giant SPOILER if happened across by any prospective reader-types? o___o

(so i bahleeted it for you.)
