I am in love.
Dec. 3rd, 2007 11:25 amScratch all those other presents I'm not likely to get: All I want for Christmas is Ainley!Master.
Has there ever been a villain more magnificent? No.
Okay, maybe I'm biased, because I have this mad crush on him right now. Iwatched The Five Doctors on YouTube yesterday and I don't think I've ever seen TV more entertaining than this. Well, I might have, but it filled me with glee all evening.
It's like Time Crash, only with four doctors (Four, sadly, is scarcely there) and it's like a crash course in classic Who: there's Gallifrey and Rassilon, and lots of Doctors and companions (and, wow, did Sarah Jane ever age well!) and Daleks and Cybermen and PLOT. And many, many shiny Trinkets of Rassilon. The First Doctor turns out to be surprisingly cute and funny for a tiny crochety old man. Whatever happened to Susan, I wonder?
But the best part of it is still Ainley!Master. It's madness, because I don't know the fandom nearly well enough, but I kind of want to write something like Time Crash with him.
