J-E-T-S = Just End The Season

misachanGod, it's going to be another one of those seasons. I don't know what happened! Nobody expected my boys to set the world on fire or anything, but no one said they were going to be this year's Raiders.
Also in sports, the FOX announcers referred to Cleveland as having "global swarming" on their side. This rather neatly sums up why I'm avoiding watching the games (that, and the Sox are much better at losing when I'm not there watching. Go Indians! *waves bandwagon flag*).
I did manage to accomplish things today, besides weeping over my Jets. I finally managed to put together the fanfic master list post I've been putting off, which should make it easier for anyone who wants to read my fic to find it (since that's pretty much the point of posting fic in the first place, after all:). I wanted to wait until I'd posted enough fic for an ML post to not look completely silly and bare, and I think I'm at that point now. Now it's just mostly silly.;) It'll do until I can cobble together a web site.
The other accomplishment was that I think I have a workable hook for my Claude/Bennet ficathon entry. I may well be able to work in all three prompts, even. Hee.:)
Oh, and I finally got to see The Last of the Time Lords. I gathered that this ep got kind of a mixed review from fandom, but I loved it. That is how the Doctor saves the world: with words. Evil was literally defeated by a thought, and by hope, with nothing more than raw belief. That's just beautiful.
The only disappointment I had with the episode was that Jack didn't kiss the Doctor goodbye.:) He'll just have to save it for next time. JB did some absolutely marvelous things with his eyes in this ep; every time the Master hurt the Doctor Jack looked like he was being gutted. I melted when Jack saluted the Doctor and called him "Sir" (just like I did when he called him sir during Sound of Drums. It's his "As you wish"), and seeing Jack with that big smile on his face was so wonderful after all the grimness of Torchwood. His team might not recognize him.:) And as fabulous as he and the Doctor are together, he was right to stay. One of the comments I made watching Utopia was that if you listened closely you could hear the sound of everyone in the Hub simultaneously losing their minds when they found him gone. Jack may have started this to find the Doctor (and I think he's lying to himself if he thinks that wasn't the reason), but he's their Doctor. Jack got his invitation (and almost certainly, he'll get another chance to travel with the Doctor, even if only for a special or two-parter) and his answers; he doesn't have to wonder anymore. Torchwood's going to be an entirely different show.
I love Martha. I love her poise, and her courage, and her ability to do this crazy, lonely task. I love that she has common sense, a quality not in large supply among the Doctor's companions. She needs to meet Sarah Jane and kick back for a while, then come back when she can look at the Doctor without wanting to jump him.:) Because she's awesome.
And poor Doctor. He finally gets his ship back together, and something just has to crash right through it.:) If they're using the Titanic as a way to sneak in a Ninth Doctor appearance, I might just die. He was there. It was one of the few things we know for sure he did pre-Rose. It could happen.
Ahem. That got a bit away from me. Sorry.:)
