end-of-season who with the what now? (spoilers, srsly)

[rivendellrose]

Yes, like everyone else in the world, I want to talk for a minute about the BBC press release of this morning (well... my time, at least) regarding the end of Season 4.



The only hope lies with the Doctor's secret army of companions – but as they join forces to battle Davros himself, the prophecy declares that one of them will die.

I'm sorry, but... I'm pretty sure I've read this book. The slightly goofy guy with the glasses and stick-up-y hair definitely defeats the random undead evil megalomaniacal guy. With his wand sonic screwdriver. And the help of his... secret army of friends?

What kind of crack is the BBC press office smoking, and is it legal available in my country?

...Seriously, though - 'secret army of companions?' It's hardly secret, and unless the pictures they've released are just magically missing Teagan, Nyssa, Turlough, the Brig, Benton, Liz, Jo, Ben, Polly, Hex, Charley, Fitz, Harry Sullivan, Leela, Romana, Narvin, Braxiatel (help, I haven't had coffee yet and can't think of more names!), the rest of the cast of Torchwood, all of current!UNIT, and Martha's whole family, it's not an army. Sorry guys. Even Harry Potter came close to having an 'army.' ...Oh god, now I'm having horrible "Dumbledore's Army" / The Doctor's Army moments, and I... didn't need that mental image first thing in the morning.

Prophecy. If Time Lords don't point and laugh at prophecies, Rassilon really screwed up somewhere along the way.

Guys, just tell a good story, please. Everything doesn't have to be ~*OMG EPIC*~, I promise.

No kidding. It's Doctor Who! It's already awesome! They really don't need to be borrowing from Harry Potter convincing us that it's cool.

Oh, dear LORD.

(Or should that be "oh, dear time lord"?)

I'm not even sure this sounds like the GOOD drugs. More like a bad peyote trip while reading the Potter books.

Ooo, that icon is so perfect for this!

And yes. It sounds like bad Harry Potter/Doctor Who (....ew, not like that...) fanfic written while on a bad trip. You hear that, Russel? Step away from the bad hallucinogens, and hand over your copy of the collected works of JKR (not to mention your laptop) to a safe friend until you've come back down!

It's okay, the "earth's mightiest heroes" Docavengers mental image was worse.

Yeeeeeeah. As much as I love the companions and all, that description kind of made me go "...who?"

I can't wait to see the mighty and fierce Adam Mitchell take on Davros in hand to hand combat! He's like the Navy SEAL of the companion army.

.....How did I miss this comment? Possibly I blocked it out of my mind, because that mental image... eeewwwwwwwww..........

I'll need Absinthe for this.

I'll go for mojitos. The roommate and I just figured out how to make them, and they instantly became my drink of choice.

Mint + lime + white rum = joy.

... oh, and + soda water. Although leaving that out would make it more explicable that I got that drunk off just two drinks...

I had that once. They made it far too bitter.:p
