talkingsoupSooo I just read the most recent Naruto chapter.
A lot of people didn't like him. But I did. He was neat and interesting and probably not the best fighter of the Sannin, but he had his own personality, did his own thing, and trained Naruto, so you can't hold that against him.
I'll miss him.
Man, Naruto's going to go batshit.
And you know, I'm noticing a really obvious trend with Masashi Kishimoto. He always starts giving the side characters backstory right before he kills them off. Zabuza? Haku? The Third? Asuma? It's getting to be a trend. As soon as you start to like someone, *poof*
Hmph.
In other news, finals are eating me alive, I want hot chocolate, and Doctor Who is the best show ever. I'm in love with the Tenth Doctor.
He fucking fought against Satan. AND WON.
Although, I have to say, THANKS, WRITERS, for such an obvious display of foreshadowing. Death is supposed to be a surprise, you know. It always is. Unless you're dying of terminal illness or are on death row.
I haven't finished the second season yet, but judging by the foreshadowing they stuck up there in flashing neon letters--and some things I've seen around the Internet--I have a pretty good idea of what happens. But still, don't spoil it for me, please!

It's not freaking scary, but it's pretty freaky.
Yeah, the classic series is a mess. Most of the episodes are released sporadically, some on tape, some on DVD. There are a few torrent files, but they're either ridiculously huge with barely any seeds or they're very sparse. The third season shouldn't be hard at all to find. Oh, and I know next to nothing about the Master except a few unimportant things, so don't worry about spoilers.
And I think it would be amusing, but not nearly as amusing as Sylar meeting the Borg.

That's so unfortunate. I suppose you need to have simply been alive to see them all to have...seen them all. I'd download the third season, but I'm worried about getting caught. Dunno how strict the BBC is; though I know people who have downloaded it anyway and been fine. *shrug*
Lol.

Don't download the third season. Watch it online.

I think all of the Season 3 episodes are there except Utopia and Last of the Time Lords, which might find their ways there eventually anyway. It's how I've been watching Seasons 1 & 2. Pretty useful.

Date: 2007-12-18 07:41 am (UTC)Oh-ho! We've been looking for a place to watch them! Our disks finally crapped out (on the last fucking disk of the season, too!) so we ended up just going to tvlinks, or some such. We're down to the last two.
Sweet, though. Thanks!

Date: 2007-12-18 07:45 am (UTC)Yeah, TV-Links is dead. I mostly use that link or surfthechannel.com for my TV needs now. Oh, and you're further ahead now than I. I haven't had a chance to watch anything since the Satan episode.
Maybe tomorrow.

Date: 2007-12-18 07:42 am (UTC)Look at all my sparkly new icons. I just wish I still had Photoshop so I could make a Rose icon that says lupus in fabula.

Date: 2007-12-18 07:47 am (UTC)Your icons are quite shiny. Hee. Speaking of latin, does "tardis" mean anything in latin? Because I'm pretty sure "tard" has something to do with time and being slow (like "tardy" or "retard").
no subject
Date: 2007-12-19 09:42 pm (UTC)As for Latin, well, I don't know much Latin, but I know that the etymology of "tard" has to do with movement, I believe. To "retard" is to halt, hinder or stymie.
*goes to look up*
