I invited seven friends over to see the Doctor Who episodes "Army of Ghosts", "Doomsday" and "The Runaway Bride" - none of which have been shown in Canada yet.
Then when that was over nobody wanted to stop, so I showed them all the first episode of Torchwood, "Everything Changes". They all loved it. Even the people I thought wouldn't.
And I, of course, was totally happy. My illness has let up enough for me to enjoy myself (though there was the occasional coughing fit) and I love all those episodes.... Well, "The Runaway Bride" less than the other three, but Ten is still adorable and there are all those wonderful romantic references to Rose.
Seeing "Everything Changes" again was an odd experience for me, since when it first aired I watched it over and over - and now haven't seen it for a month or two. It was fun to see how different my perceptions of the characters was then, now that I know what has happened to them over thirteen episodes. They seemed almost innocent. Jack was hard-edged, but more charming and funny than I recalled him.
It was fun too to see the reactions of my friends. One friend had never seen the new Doctor Who at all, though she was familiar with the Tom Baker episodes. The rest had, I think, all seen the Captain Jack episodes of Doctor Who and all remarked on the changes in him. My friend who hadn't seen him before thought he was gorgeously sexy - and Gwen too. Well, I can only agree. Gwen seems especially cute and sexy in that episode. Did my attitude to her change in later episodes? I think so. "They're so much sexier than Mulder and Scully," she said. Heh. I think she will like the sexual attitudes.
I promised more video-parties. How can I resist? A chance to watch more.
