And I'm 2/3 of the way done with this last season of Doctor Who! ::cheers::

I watched "Silence in the Library" and "Forest of the Dead" and all I could think was, "Jesus H., why didn't they let Stephen Moffat write the last three seasons entirely!?" Seriously now, he scripted a tense, well-paced thriller of an episode that kept me absolutely riveted. His Doctor keeps David Tennant in line, too, which Ohthankyoufuckinggod, because that man is about three xanaxes short most days. I like wild and crazy Doctor. I'm pretty sure, however, that Ten has rabies. Stephen Moffat writes him so brilliantly that you don't forget he's the Doctor--he's still funny and silly and full of self importance. But he makes him so much more.

Just some thoughts on this and other seasons. )

Still not finished though! Four more episodes to go. NO SPOILERS!! However, if I don't stop reading fandomsecrets, I might get spoiled out of enjoying it. I've nearly done it to myself already. Stupid LJ com. I should stop reading it if only to avoid hearing twenty times in one post about The Dark Knight. Listen you crazy-obsessed freak fucks: THE JOKER DOES NOT WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU. The fact that they are fantasizing wildly over a fictional character? Fine. Over one played by an actor who is now deceased? Doesn't bother me. (Ask me about my Brandon Lee crush some time.) REPEATEDLY TALKING ABOUT HOW A PSYCHOPATHIC, DISEASED, HOMICIDAL CLOWN MAKES YOU CREAM YOUR SHORTS IS THE QUICKEST WAY TO MAKE ME KILL YOU. Actually, second quickest. The quickest way to death-by-stupid-fangirling is to be this person.

Last night's Project Runway was probably the freakin' greatest episode of all time. Why? THEIR CLIENTS WERE DRAG QUEENS.

Trinity loves drag queens. I love everything about them. The make-up, the hair, the costumes. Man, I went to a gay bar in Sydney only for the promise of drag queens. One of the ones I saw was probably the prettiest girl in the whole place. Including the actual females. Fuck yeah, I love drag queens.

Not so freakin' great? The loser? MADE HIS DRAG QUEEN LOOK BORING. That's gotta be a goddamn sin. Look good, look bad, baby, but don't make your queen look DULL. If she's not in sequins and pleather, in a corset and high heels, darling, YOU ARE NOT TRYING.

Don't get me wrong: drag queen fashion is hardly "fashion." I'm sure that most of the designers were like "WTF?" (Except one, who said she'd worked on drag couture before and she made the most STUNNING entry. That, of course, did not win.) But drag fashion is a few pieces of sculpted plastic add-ons and some extensions away from proper couture. Far as I can see, the only difference is that the drag queens have penises while the high fashion models are just disfunctional XYs with undescended testicles. (No, I'm not kidding. How do you think some of those "women" get bodies like starved pre-pubescent boys? THEY ARE BOYS!) Plus, drag queens have more fun and are allowed to fucking eat.

Yes, you could argue that Bravo is doing its damnedest to ruin the show before Lifetime gets it, but they almost managed that last season with the challenge to design for the female wrestlers of the WWE. This, at least, has the pretense of fashion. One of the queens, my favorite, Hedda Lettuce, basically went to her designer and rattled off a littany of typically bad-fashion pieces she wanted--lace, sparkles, shinyness--but demanded that she look good, look classy. THAT FABULOUS BITCH, I LOVE HER.

This was more fun in an episode than most of last season all put together, so if they're trying to destroy the show, it's backfiring. They need to do a drag episode EVERY YEAR.

Sorry, but I must post about Project Runway again. Because Daniel's exit interview is up, and the boy is, in the words of the Project RunGay boys, DELUSIONAL.

Some "high"lites:

-"I feel really sad about leaving. I didn't expect it."
(Newsflash: You're the only one who's surprised.)


-"I don't think I deserved to go."
(You made strung-out-wig RuPaul do her frowny face--the one that makes her look like a drag Joan Rivers--you deserved to go.)


-"The judges have kept a strong eye on me the last few rounds. I've either been on the top or the bottom."
(Let's see, you were top for the grocery thing, bottom for the Brooke Shields challenge where you couldn't make a goddamned pencil skirt, and bottom for making an Olympic COCKTAIL DRESS. Otherwise, you were middle-of-the road. You've mostly been in the bottom, honey.)

-"I don't understand that my garment looked like a regular dress. It had a two-foot-long train...and twenty yards of ruffles...and the color was pretty shocking as well."
(The only shock the color gave anyone is that it hadn't come straight from a sarong outta the Caribbean. Because that's how cheap it looked. Also: there are professional dancers with longer trains on their dresses. You made a longer train on your New York at night challenge dress. Two feet!? Two yards, maybe that's a long train. Two feet? RuPaul LAUGHS at your two feet!!!)

-"This isn't going to change the way I design at all."
(No shit. You were given challenges like "make sportswear" and "make a drag costume" and you made...cocktail dresses. When given more permissive challenges you made...cocktail dresses.)

-"I've learned I should be more experimental with my designs."
(Yeah...right.)

There's more in his second part, but I want to kill him, so shut up Daniel. I can't believe he said he'd miss Kenley. Dude, she's cute and all, but she's not you're friend. She mocks you. For instance, I am not your friend.
