Argh. Damn damn damn.
(Somebody point me at the extra? I'm on the netbook and it's a tad awkward.)
I find I have some extra damns lying around so here- damndamndamn.
http://shadowunit.org/fair.htmlThank you for the pointer. Also damndamndamndamndamn. I'm going to go walk the dog now. I don't have a dog, so I'm going to go out and drink till I can't feel feelings anymore. That sounds like a reasonable and appropriate response to a bad situation. |

That was well done. And so damned hard to read. I spent a good chunk of time crying for Daphne. Ow. and Tricia . . . just OUCH. Hardest episode to take so far. I love Daphne. That was awful.
Bravo, PTB. You've seriously messed with my head . . . again.

Oh hey, EXTRA. Fuck.
For some reason, possibly ECR overload, this comment actually made me burst into laughter, because it just expressed it all so perfectly. Me, too. |

Aesthetically speaking, too, Sol's final words in the last part "And there I was" echo his first words in Part 1, "So no shit, there I was," when he witnesses Joshua Shore's collapse (and he performs CPR on both Shore and Daphne), and I'm inclined to think that kind of resonance is intentional.
Gold star for good catches. //sadly Thanks.... I enjoyed reading Duke's POV. Before you guys, you know, broke our hearts into a million little shattered pieces and everything. |

It really messed me up when Tricia called him Platypus. WAUUUUUGH. |

Well, we can kill a black guy, a latino, a jewish woman, a black woman, an asian woman, a bisexual woman, or a gay guy.
Or Solomon Todd.
Pick two?
My new tablet thing just ate a longer reply, so: That had occurred to me, and I mean it about not snarking, just not quite enough not to say anything. Perhaps I am officially a queer woman of a certain age. Well, and I probably want some excuse to be mad about Daphne, since mad is generally more dynamic than sad. (Mad! We smites it all!!!) And I kind of suspect that Sol would kind of like to be the one that died instead of the one that survived to tell the tale. Also, I'm pretty damned sad for Singh. |

As another queer woman of a certain age, I need to remember to tell you a quote about Radclyffe Hall's book, but I need to source it first. This is a reminder note. |

There are significant sectors of the parts of the internet I frequent that are fairly upset due to the death of a character on "Game of Thrones", which those of us who had read the books knew was coming. I was composing some sort of thing about character deaths that you saw coming, or even know about already but still got to you when they happened. And then after yesterday, I couldn't finish it. And now I think I need to wait a day or two. Because it's too close now.
And I keep thinking of things like wondering when T got the whole scoop on betas and what Chaz can do. And wondering if Joshua Shore is alive or not because I don't think I saw anything about them unplugging him, and Sol's writing from the future shows that Jenny Chan is still alive in there so that would mean Shore has at least a chance, if Singh's effect specifically does put them in the same position his last patient was in. And how awful and yet at the same time not so awful about how Chaz's ability lets them know for certain that Daphne is gone, and they're not guessing when they let her body go. They aren't going to be living with the "what if".
And yes, of course, Sol Todd is a Time Lord. Makes perfect sense now.

Someone phone up the OED arbiters, they can rewrite the entry for "bittersweet". Although that's an awfully tiny bit of sweet trying to coat that mountain of bitter. |

I just hope Chaz stopped mirroring Daphne before it happened.

*cries* So you find a corner of a waiting room the team isn't in and you sit there, staring at the TV with the sound turned down, wishing God accepted trades or bargaining. OMG, I am so sorry, but I know how that feels. Oh, Tricia, oh, Tricia! *cries some more* Well, we can kill a black guy, a latino, a jewish woman, a black woman, an asian woman, a bisexual woman, or a gay guy.
Or Solomon Todd.
Pick two?
*pleads* No, no, no, no, no! |

? But he wouldn't have been mirroring Daphne during the crash. He would have been mirroring Singh. |
