Been Busy Tennant Fangirling

[magicallaw]

So, after having a look through malaleen's Peter Carlisle/Martha fic last night, I woke with a desire to rewatch Blackpool.

I also realised that I had no Peter Carlisle icons. SHAME ON ME. S'OK though, for I have fixed that.

The only thing that annoyed me about this show was how quickly Peter fell in love with Natalie. I know it shouldn't and it's not as if I didn't believe it towards the end and I was rooting for them all the way, but it just seemed a little shoe-horned in to begin with.

That's all that bothered me though, cos any programme that has the song 'The Gambler' in it is win, yes? I think that might be my favourite musical number apart from 'The Boy With A Thorn In His Side' obvs.

And if anyone didn't get that it was The Son What Dunnit from like the first/second episode wasn't paying enough attention.

Ooh, ooh also, Peter Carlise is a bit of a bastard. AMIRITE?

It sounds like I'm moaning and I'm really not cos I love TV shows that are completely on crack.

Plus, there really should be more Tennant sexin' on ma telly.

I think this: Peter Carlise is a bit of a bastard, explains this: how quickly Peter fell in love with Natalie

May have been subconscious, but I think a big part of his immediate pull to Natalie (other than her being rather hot), was twisted up in his immediate distaste for Ripley and the thrill of sticking it to him through his wife.

I think that changed once he had more chance to know her, and it really did become about her.

Also The Gambler is pretty much made of awesome. There is no bad to Tennant rocking out with an ice cream cone. I keep expecting it to get less entertaining and it never does.

I also didn't think it was possible to be jealous of an ice cream before watching this show.

That soon changed.
