Just catching up on the new series, when I noticed The (gorgeous) Doctor had to ask Rory for permission to hug Amy.

A bit of a WTF moment.

Anyone know how this came about? Or thoughts on this?

Sigh.

It's ok Sardine, we'll forgive you.

And I will apologize for leching. Which I wasn't, honest. Blush

I even sometimes stroke their thighs Shock

I just can't seem to get going with the bi-sexual vibe, I'm sorry.

LRDTheFeministDragon · 29/08/2011 19:51

Tcha, you're so sexist Sardine. I was objectifying the womenz too.

Ahem.

No, actually, me and River Song, it'd be like a meeting of minds, I tells ya.

I like it when we talk about "people I'd do" on feminism

I think it makes all the haters froth at the mouth "but you're objectifying the menz you hypocrites Grin

On this thread however everyone seems to be fair game Grin

John barrowman I can see, although he's too shiny for me. he is good looking

SardineQueen · 29/08/2011 19:36

I can see the current doc as someone who grows on you

But the young woman yesterday took one look at him and said "you never said he was hot"

??????? Was my reaction

LRDTheFeministDragon · 29/08/2011 18:25

Oh, I could go for River Song too ...

I don't get the attraction of the current Dr or Barrowman ... but each to their own.

leafgreen · 29/08/2011 18:20

Oh, if we're talking hearthrobs I have totally got the hots for Madame Vastra.

I completely see now why the Doctor asks for permission to hug Amy, and agree that it is demonstrating respect for Rory's insecurity rather than ownership.

And I did like how the Doctor addressed Rory+Amy as 'Ponds'.

Takes all sorts, SQ Grin

I could defineitely enjoy a long weekend with River Song, Felix out of Torchwood and Jack Harkness.

Actually, considering that two of them are unlimited by time or space, it could be a very very long weekend!

SardineQueen · 29/08/2011 18:07

I don't know how the current doc is supposed to be handsome. "Hot"? Come off it.

Now if JB actually were captain jack that would be quite something!

IRL JB is happily married (AFAIK) and teh hardest working man on telly and I wish him a lot of luck, he works for it.

He is a bit too shiny for my tastes though.

I quite like the fact that we are learning more about jack's past and that he has this dark side to him that has always been hinted at

Umm, sorry, the Harkness character has! I know fuck all about JB the actor Blush

garlicnutter · 29/08/2011 17:47

I quite fancy JB, but ... he's become far more manipulative in his personal relations. He's starting to remind me of the alpha-male "Loser" who makes so many Mumsnetters unhappy.

PMSL @ "a bit too gay"

Isn't Jack bi-sexual though, come to think of it? Or just an outrageous flirt?

Oh yes Omnisexual that's it Grin

I did think that the last episode was an Ode to John Barrowman. I gave a round of applause when the Barrowman Bottom danced across the screen Grin

I thought last night's episode was a bit crap. Like they were desperately rushing to tie off that storyline so they could get on with something else.

Was also a bit Hmm @ all the shopping / weighing self stuff.

It all felt very disjointed and not up to usual standard.

OTOH loving torchwood and the fact that Jack's gayness has always been just how it is rather than a plot device or oddness IYSWIM. Very good. Having said that, whoever writes torchwood poss has a crush on JB? He has always been portrayed as irresistably attractive and now someone has gone to the lengths of shaping the politics and everything and making something to stop everyone dying just to do whatever it is they want to do to Jack? Or is JB writing it these days Grin

Almost as pathetic as being convinced bow ties are 'cool' Grin

I don't think Time Lords are known for their subtle elegance ...

the doctor is always concerned about how he looks when he regenerates and mentions teeth/hair etc-
