Another evening spent watching Doctor Who with Beulah at Sandi and Pat's place. We watched The Rise of the Cybermen - and we'd only planned to watch one episode, but when it came to a 'to be continued' ending, everyone wanted to go on to the next episode. I was the only one who knew it was going to end of a cliffhanger.... And then afterwards, I had a terrible time keeping my mouth shut and not muttering spoilers for later on. I particularly enjoyed the English President this time round, and Jake, whom I hadn't taken much notice of before.
A detail I'd missed first time round was that when he's wearing his tux, the Doctor fashionably changes to black basketball shoes.
I like Rose's stubborness, and the way the Doctor deals with her. I like his collusion with Mickey when Mickey is working at the computer in the zeppelin. I like the Doctor's distress over the Tardis in the beginning, and I like the mushy ending, which to my eyes seems just the right touch for Mickey. His finest moments.
Just watched a Doctor Who music vid that I really liked, Let That Be Enough by Nikki Bell.
I'm still living on liquids, with the occasional mushy noodle or bit of yogurt. Ordeal with the dentist tomorrow. Those whirling drills and blades and scalpels that Cybus Inc. used to make Cybermen out of people were pretty scaring as I contemplated what is facing me.
