Finished The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances. Really enjoying this series so far. Calling it quits for tonight because I work at six in the morning. Probably pick it up tomorrow and finish off Series 1. #JaeWatchesDW
Noooo I fucking hate the Slitheen. The design creeps me the fuck out. #JaeWatchesDW
...so that& #39;s what Thirteen was talking about when she said she turned a Slitheen back into an egg. #JaeWatchesDW
Finished Series 1! That was really good, barring some outdated CGI and questionable creature designs (I& #39;m gonna have nightmares about Slitheen now).
I really enjoyed Eccelston& #39;s Doctor. Definitely different than the ones I& #39;m used to, but still great. #JaeWatchesDW

#JaeWatchesDW Something, courtesy of the unbelievable levels of flirting in those last few episodes...I& #39;m kind of annoyed at how, when the 13th Doctor was announced, they were all like OH YEAH WE& #39;RE TOTALLY ON BOARD WITH GIVING HER A FEMALE LOVE INTEREST (1/2)
...and now it& #39;s been two series, 13 is probably on her way out soon, and...yep. I mean, I didn& #39;t honestly believe they would, but I& #39;m kinda annoyed. Don& #39;t tell us you& #39;re on board for something and then don& #39;t do it. #JaeWatchesDW
Heey I& #39;m back. Heading into David Tennant& #39;s run, starting with The Christmas Invasion.
I& #39;m gonna be honest, I& #39;m kinda tired of Rose already. But that& #39;s to be expected; I rarely like the companions. The current companions are the exception. #JaeWatchesDW

Okay, let& #39;s see how many episodes I can get through before I start thinking in David Tennant& #39;s voice.
Starting with Series 2, episode 4: School Reunion. #JaeWatchesDW

Series 2, Episode 6: Rise of the Cybermen
Not fond of Cybermen at the moment. Mostly because I& #39;m still bitter about how series 12 ended.
*starts muttering about cliffhangers in series with large gaps between seasons* #JaeWatchesDW

Taking a break. Currently at Series 2, Episode 9: The Impossible Planet.
Wondering if I& #39;m familiar with all of the modern Doctors enough to try and rank my faves. I mean, 13 is at the top, she& #39;s absolutely "my" Doctor, but it& #39;s really hard to rank the others now. #JaeWatchesDW

Crave: We just added Series 12!
Me: Bold of you to assume that I am in any way emotionally prepared to watch that right now.

With that said, back to try and finish Series 2. Starting at Episode 9, The Impossible Planet. #JaeWatchesDW
I really need to keep an episode list open. There& #39;s always at least one supporting actor that makes me stop and go WAIT I KNOW THAT PERSON and then I have to Google because it distracts me. #JaeWatchesDW
Heading into the Series 2 finale. Gonna call it quits for the night after this. #JaeWatchesDW
I can& #39;t watch this freaking wall scene without thinking of the meme that adds in Jensen Ackles making a ridiculous face. Cue me giggling through what& #39;s supposed to be a serious, heartbreaking scene.
(Also, I really need to find that meme). #JaeWatchesDW
(Also, I really need to find that meme). #JaeWatchesDW
Ow. I needed those feels, you jerks. #JaeWatchesDW
And that& #39;s Series 2 done. I liked it. Glad to be moving on to a new companion, and Series 3 has all of the 10th Doctor episodes that I& #39;ve seen before (have I mentioned that my first episode ever was Blink?) so it& #39;ll be nice to watch them knowing the previous stuff. #JaeWatchesDW
So when I left off, I ended up having weird dreams involving the 10th Doctor for three days in a row and decided I needed give my brain time to calm down.
Also I had to watch The Baby-Sitters Club, which was amazing.
But I& #39;m back now. #JaeWatchesDW

But I& #39;m back now. #JaeWatchesDW
...okay, no I& #39;m not, because apparently Crave got rid of all of the series except for 11 and 12?
What the actual flying fuck. #JaeWatchesDW
What the actual flying fuck. #JaeWatchesDW

Gonna get the negative out of the way first: what happens to Grace is bullshit and I will die on this hill. #JaeWatchesDW
I adore Thirteen& #39;s entrance. Falls through the roof, pops into frame, theme starts playing. #JaeWatchesDW
The Doctor pouting because she can& #39;t have the lights and siren on

#JaeWatchesDW Me during this entire crane sequence:
Total. Bullshit. #JaeWatchesDW https://twitter.com/JaeHarland/status/1280642010404147201">https://twitter.com/JaeHarlan...
Y& #39;know, I still really don& #39;t know how I feel about how the TARDIS looks in this run. #JaeWatchesDW
Someone wrote a thread a while back documenting all of the signs of Ryan& #39;s dyspraxia. I just thought of it because they pointed out a bunch of stuff from this episode. And an excellent rebuttal to people who say they just forgot about it. #JaeWatchesDW
The second-hand embarassment is so high in this episode. #JaeWatchesDW
#JaeWatchesDW
Series 11, Episode 4: Arachnids In The UK
aka HOPE YOU& #39;RE NOT SCARED OF SPIDERS LOL
Series 11, Episode 4: Arachnids In The UK
aka HOPE YOU& #39;RE NOT SCARED OF SPIDERS LOL
The scene where the Doctor& #39;s trying to pretend she& #39;s okay with being left alone ("...do you wanna come for tea at mine?" "YES I WOULD") is probably the moment I fell in love with this incarnation. #JaeWatchesDW
#JaeWatchesDW Me during the scene in the spider-infested apartment:
Another shout-out for the music because I fucking LOVE this score. #JaeWatchesDW
"Are you Ed Sheeran?!" is the reason I can& #39;t see or hear the name Ed Sheeran without dissolving into giggles. #JaeWatchesDW
I really don& #39;t like that the Trump wannabe gets away with no comeuppance. Walks in, shoots the spider, gets away with being a complete asshole for the entire episode. It& #39;s unsatisfying. #JaeWatchesDW
And calling it quits for tonight. Yay 6am work shifts. #JaeWatchesDW
...the whole thing is back on Crave now. What.
Screw it. I& #39;m finishing Series 11 first. Then I& #39;ll go back and start Series 3.
With that said, Series 11, Episode 5: The Tsuranga Conundrum. #JaeWatchesDW

Not great at livetweeting this series because I& #39;m too focused on actually watching the episodes plus I& #39;ve already watched it multiple times.
Anyway, Series 11, Episode 6: Demons of the Punjab. #JaeWatchesDW

...I still want to know what happened with the death-eye turtle army. #JaeWatchesDW
My brain is currently a big ball of mush and anxiety, so let& #39;s see how much of Series 11 we can get through.
Series 11, Episode 7: Kerblam! #JaeWatchesDW
(The rest of the show seems to still be on Crave, so the plan is still to go back to Series 3 after Series 11.)

I think this is one of the weaker episodes. It has its moments, but...meh. I wouldn& #39;t choose to watch it over, say, Arachnids in the UK or The Witchfinders (my current fave S11 episodes). #JaeWatchesDW
And on to Series 11, Episode 8: The Witchfinders. Currently my favourite episode of Series 11. #JaeWatchesDW
I would totally forgive the Doctor if she just hauled off and punched someone in this episode. #JaeWatchesDW
Series 11, Episode 9: It Takes You Away
Okay, definitely going to try and finish this series off today. Mostly because this is the only thing that& #39;s keeping my brain from running off in horrible anxiety spirals. #JaeWatchesDW

Anyway. Series 11, Episode 10: The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos.
Two more episodes, then back to Series 3. #JaeWatchesDW

Okay, actually back now. Wear a fucking mask, people.

Speaking as someone who& #39;s absolutely sick of Daleks...that was a pretty badass Dalek entrance. #JaeWatchesDW
And that is Series 11 done.
So now, we jump in the TARDIS and head back to Series 3, starting with The Runaway Bride. #JaeWatchesDW

I was gonna be productive today before work, but then I ended up having nightmares about my ex-roommate and now I& #39;m a barely functioning blob of flesh, so let& #39;s just watch Doctor Who instead. #JaeWatchesDW
(I& #39;m really annoyed by that particular cliffhanger because Series 12 was the last thing I watched before things went *gestures at everything* and...yeah. Would have liked a more solid ending before everything went sideways.) #JaeWatchesDW
I should be sleeping because my work scheduled me for two shifts ten hours apart but I& #39;m almost done The Shakespeare Code, so hi. #JaeWatchesDW
Yeah, definitely enjoying David Tennant a lot. I didn& #39;t see much of his run originally (got into the fandom just as Matt Smith took over). #JaeWatchesDW
My brain is mush again, this time from working in the middle of a pandemic and learning that Grant Imahara died (Mythbusters got me through some tough times), so here we are. #JaeWatchesDW

Yeah, my brain is too mush. I& #39;m having too much trouble following. Calling it quits. #JaeWatchesDW
Like, I can deal with the exposed brain and the one eye and shit, but the squirmy face tentacles are too much. #JaeWatchesDW
I never really get it when the companions are sad when they come home and they think it& #39;s over. I mean, even if I was travelling with my favourite Doctor, my response to coming home would be "OH THANK GOD BYE" followed by hiding in my room for a week. #JaeWatchesDW
That moment when the show you& #39;re enjoying just drops some casual arophobic nonsense on you. #JaeWatchesDW
Blink is the first episode of Doctor Who I ever watched and I adore it (...kinda weird for someone who doesn& #39;t like jump scares, I suppose, but hey). Probably no livetweeting this because I& #39;ll just be sitting here with a huge grin on my face. #JaeWatchesDW
Checking in. Yep, definitely still love this episode. #JaeWatchesDW
Oh. I& #39;ve seen this one. Well, at least I know what& #39;s coming so I don& #39;t have to deal with the "seemingly benevolent character turns out to be bad" thing. I haaaate that trope. #JaeWatchesDW
Okay. Let& #39;s get this thing started.

Last episode of Series 3 and I still like Martha. Cool. #JaeWatchesDW
I really need the Master to jump in front of a fucking bus, though. #JaeWatchesDW
This show is excellent at nightmare fuel. Geez. #JaeWatchesDW
Finished Series 3. I think I enjoyed that one most out of what I& #39;ve seen so far (or my sense of reality is warped from watching, like, seven episodes in a row the other day). Didn& #39;t hate Martha by the end of it. The unrequited love thing could have gone a lot worse. #JaeWatchesDW
Next up: Voyage of the Damned, which I& #39;ve seen, but don& #39;t remember much aside from being really annoyed that this Titanic doesn& #39;t look like the real Titanic (the real Titanic being one of my special interests). #JaeWatchesDW
Oh nooooo they& #39;re playing one of my least favourite Christmas songs in the background. #JaeWatchesDW
Gotta say, David Tennant is looking particularly good in this episode. #JaeWatchesDW

How do people function wearing more than one layer of clothes? I& #39;m squirming watching Tennant running around in a full suit plus that coat. #JaeWatchesDW
Oh no Donna& #39;s mother sounds exactly like my mother help I came here to get away from reality (I& #39;m not kidding, some of the things she says while she& #39;s lecturing Donna are verbatim things my mother would say to me help) #JaeWatchesDW
Oh hi there Peter Capaldi #JaeWatchesDW
Ow. My feelings. I was using those.
Anyway, calling it quits for tonight. Little bit in love with Donna, ready to be super extra sad when Tennant& #39;s last episode comes around, as opposed to mildly sad the first time. #JaeWatchesDW

"Seriously, there& #39;s an outrageous amount of running involved."
This would probably be pretty high up on the list of Reasons Why Jae Would Not Make A Good Companion. Especially with Ten. I& #39;m out of breath just watching him. #JaeWatchesDW

Okay, the "talking of wasps, did I ever tell you about me and Agatha Christie?" line in Kerblam makes a lot more sense now. Spotting the callbacks is fun. #JaeWatchesDW
I feel like I have to read an Agatha Christie book now. #JaeWatchesDW
Fake disability trope. Ew. #JaeWatchesDW
Silence In The Library, aka the second episode of Doctor Who I ever saw because I think the person who recommended the show got a kick out of sending me after the creepy episodes? #JaeWatchesDW
It& #39;s my friend& #39;s birthday today. So today, on behalf of said friend, whose partner would always get upset if she watched Doctor Who without her, yet always refused to watch it, I& #39;m gonna marathon the shit out of this.

Finishing off Series 4 tonight. Not gonna lie, I& #39;m kinda sad. I& #39;ve gotten REALLY attached to this Doctor. Like, not curl up in a ball and sob levels of sad like I will be when Jodie& #39;s run is over, but yeah. Pretty sad. #JaeWatchesDW

I hereby retract every negative thing I have ever said about series 12& #39;s Master because this one is just pure fucking nightmare fuel. #JaeWatchesDW
Last episode. I& #39;m going to start a new thread when I start Matt Smith& #39;s run because this thread is a little bit out of control. #JaeWatchesDW
