#caleera

Fully understood the assignment as Liv/Helen/Caleera, so that's something that exists now. Have to say also, inspired a bit by what transpired recently on the Liv and Helen blogs. I'm weak for a TRL plot line.

Me:

Like the first time, I’ve been really taken with the first boxset and Helen, my lesbian bean. I love this team tardis and their interactions - especially Liv who isn’t afraid to take Eight down a peg or two. Eight is cute and sweet and all but he can also be a complete bastard with his companions (Charley in Scherzo is the first that came to my mind, but he also completely forgot two of them and it did take him a while to warm up to Lucie) and Helen is no exception. He’s unfair and harsh with her in Absent Friends and Ship in a Bottle andLiv standing up for her both times sent huge lesbian vibes that I definitely couldn’t miss. 

I’ve also warmed up a lot to the Sonomancer that I didn’t like the first time. The last episode really changed my opinion of her and I think I understand her better (I was jubilating when she settled a score with Padrac - you go girl). Incidentally, the “female power” thingy wasn’t very subtle but it was appreciated nonetheless: I liked the parallel between Caleera and Helen, and the fact that if Helen does deserve redemption, Caleera doesn’t. 

I also fell hard for the Eleven - I’m so excited that he’s back in Ravenous. I also have a soft spot for the Eight (and he even had his moment to shine in Stop the Clock, that’s a good boy), and the Nine is kinda fun. 

The only thing that bothered me a teensy bit was the over-the-top touch of it. Gallifrey is going to be destroyed so to prevent it, let’s destroy the rest of the universe. Yeah, great idea Padrac. The amount of eye-rolling I made when he was talking must have set a new record. And yeah we all know the Time Lords are big drama queens but ... yeah ... a bit too much. 

Anyways, here goes my top three episodes for Doom Coalition : 

1- Absent Friends

2- The Red Lady

3- Ship in a Bottle

(three episodes from three different box-set, well done me. Also, let’s not forget Scenes from her Life, The Eighth Piece/The Doomsday Chronometer and Stop the Clock that are all very close behind)

LOOK AT ME

As per my name in the Rare Pair Discord server being 'The Red Lady', a fitting icon had to be made. It being my icon means she's based on what I look like, rather than Emma Cunniffe who voices her in the audios.
