Battlefield

[mayamaia]

First the kids went to bed, then Elisabeth went to bed so now I have little to do - so I started watching Battlefield.

**********
Ace: "Who's Elizabeth Shaw? I don't even look like her!"
Doctor: "Oh, never mind. Just think like a physicist!"

I'd like to know why he had her ID, and why it was in his HAT?!
**********

Doctor: "Do you mind? That's a very valuable piece of coinage!"

It's a mechanical beetle!

**********
Ace: "I think the timer needs work."
Doctor: "One of these days we're going to have a nice, long talk about acceptable safety standards."
**********

Hey, Morgaine is played by the woman who played Sara Kingdom! (One of the first companions to be killed - sort of. She hadn't accepted the offer, as I understand. And Katarina was the very first.)

**********
- Okay, stuff the funny lines, this bit I recognize. It's the time that Sylvester McCoy saved the life of the girl playing Ace. She was in a tank filling with water, and he noticed that the side of it was bulging - she's not acting when she looks scared there. He got them to stop the water flow and fish her out just in time.

The Brig: "Oh dear. Women - not really my field."
Doctor: "Don't worry, Brigadier. People will be shooting at you soon!"

bed? At 2 in the afternoon (by your timestamp)? This is madness!

One is two years and the other less than five months. This is not unusual.

Besides, I had to stop to handle the kids again, then I had to do a lot of vegetable chopping. I'm not even halfway through.

Yes, but I thought Elisabeth was older ... I could be mistaken.

I keep getting you and Elizabeth Bear (matociquala) mixed up until I'm halfway through the entry ...

Never underestimate the exhaustion brought on by small children.

Oh yikes! I didn't know that about Sophie Aldred!

Huzzah! Jean Marsh for the win! Yes, she is opposite Nicholas Courtney in his first and last episodes - and tries her darndest to kill him each time. Except that in Master Plan she succeeded. And after he'd been beaten up by William Hartnell too... She was also married to Jon Pertwee for a while, and played Queen Bavmorda in Willow. She's all kinds of cool.

Also:
Doctor: "It says: 'dig hole here.' Ace, I need a hole."
Poor archaeologist man.

Doctor: You want to leave. These aren't the droids you're looking for
Innkeeper: No! We're very angry and we...
Doctor: *look*
Inkeeper:...want to leave.

You missed a bit. "It says 'dig hole here'." "What does it say that in?" "My handwriting. Ace -"

Jon Pertwee? Really!

[animate-mush.livejournal.com]

Yep!
Riiiight. Going from shaky memory.

He probably has her ID because she didn't probably left it behind when she left in a huff to go back to Cambridge. And you know how petulant Pertwee gets - he can do the creepy stalker thing too. Or maybe save it in case she changed her mind and came back.

Because it's a Hat of Holding. Like Tom Baker's pockets. :)

You mean like every Doctor's pockets. McCoy pulled out so much stuff from ordinary pockets before getting to his hat!

I actually used to pull that trick with the inside pocket of my jacket. I once had my friend Dan hold out his hands and I produced two or three tennis balls, five pens, a large wallet, a bit of embroidery work, a package of yarn attached to some crocheting, a pencil, a small book and a yo-yo. All from a pocket that didn't seem it could hold much more than my fist. (I will admit I ended up stretching the seams a bit, but I never actually tore it.)

Yeah...and, Wow! Way to go pockets.
