I have already thoroughly enjoyed the comparison of the Doctor with Mal Reynolds, as noted by the clever bellanut. Now I have a comparison of the Doctor with Spike from Cowboy Bebop by seti_drd here.

I love fandom.

Are you a Bebop fan?

[monsieureden.livejournal.com]

I love the Bebop comparison! It's eerie and hilarious. I love Spike.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

I love Spike too. There are so many paradigms where different characters I love intersect. Brown coats! Troubled pasts! Good eyebrows!

Now if only they all had swords.

Insofar as I've seen it, yes. I liked the movie. Haven't see the TV series and haven't read the manga. I'd like to find more of it.

[monsieureden.livejournal.com]

I own the series. More into the series than the movie, I think, though I own the movie too and liked it. Haven't read the manga entirely.

[monsieureden.livejournal.com]

Mmm, Eden eyebrows...

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

I just checked at the library; they have vols. 1 and 2 of the manga, so I ordered them. None of the series or the movie, unfortunately.

I may try downloading.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Good eyebrows are underrated.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Though I really, really enjoyed the movie (and the characters) I found it somewhat difficult to follow - to figure out who characters were and how they related to each other. There was a lot of guesswork involved.

Don't know if you've seen my email yet, but there are 12" dressed dolls/action figures of Ten, now!

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

How wonderful! I suppose I could try looking for them on eBay....

[silverwhistle.livejournal.com]

Here he is on Amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000FTP36M/sr=1-14/qid=1155319278/ref=sr_1_14/202-3332417-4762218?ie=UTF8&s=kids). Forbidden Planet has him cheaper.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

He is so cute! Love the shoes.

[silverwhistle.livejournal.com]

And there's this (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000FHAFQW/sr=1-3/qid=1155321124/ref=sr_1_3/202-3332417-4762218?ie=UTF8&s=kids), with a remote-controlled K9!

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

I could have a good time browsing.

I second your love for fandom. There's no end to the interesting things that come from it!

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

And people are so creative, sometimes in unexpected ways.

[wijsgeer.livejournal.com]

do watch the series, it is sooo fun!!!! It is one of my favourites. And I found the comparison hillarious. Thanks a lot for the link.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'll try to find it - one way or another. You're welcome for the link!

[rosiespark.livejournal.com]

Thanks for reminding me of that Ten/Mal comparison. It's brilliant. And have you seen bellanut's other DW posts. Another hour of my life that I'll never see again. *g* Look - freckles! (http://bellanut.livejournal.com/141482.html#cutid1). ::drools::

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

I confess: I was browsing bellanut's LJ a little today, but I am at work and I am supposed to be working so I didn't do it much, just ten minutes or so.... I can see I still have a lot of happy browsing to do before the next season starts.

Freckles. Yes. Happy sigh.

When it comes to this fandom, I seem to be insatiable.

[monsieureden.livejournal.com]

I think it makes more sense if you watched the series. Overall, I think the series is much better than the movie.

[monsieureden.livejournal.com]

Totally agreed.

[monsieureden.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they have Cowboy Bebop on interloan at local libraries but most don't loan them out :(.

Another thing Nine and Ten have in common: they're both absolutely beautiful, in that perfect, lucid way that has a lot to do with looks and even more to do with personality and animation... almost as though there's a light behind their eyes. Almost like Elves, but not distant. Just... you know.... clear.

This to me is a reminder that the Doctor can see/sense/perceive the movement of the cosmos, the energy of atoms, the colours of time - whatever aspects of the universe there are that he can see that we cannot.

It's one of the few shows I know of where the ultra-intelligent and not-quite-human protagonist really seems ultra-intelligent and not quite human, both in his actions and in his looks.

And of course this is beautiful to see.

My spouse flapped his batwing eyebrows at me, and I was lost. ;)

Thanks for the fun Dr. Who link!

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Well said! And you're welcome.
