Doctor Who prologue clip #2

[such_heights]

Following on from the Children in Need clip we got over here, here's another bit of adorableness. Spoilers for guest characters + setting.

JENNY AND VASTRA JENNY AND VASTRA JENNY AND VASTRA. <3333

I just. There's your canonically queer Holmes and Watson, right there. Interspecies Victorian crime-fighting sword-wielding girlfriends who have become recurring characters for Christmas omg. THANK YOU SHOW ILU TOO.

THEIR BESOTTED LITTLE FACES AND PET NAMES AND CUTENESS WHAT IS THIS BEAUTY.

*flails with you*

THEIR FACES

[silverhare]

I need lots of icons of them.

[pteranodon]

OHMYGOD! Heeeee.
I am slightly o_O at the total lack of subtlety on her part - I suppose Mr Scotland Yard just assumes she's being an eccentric genius or something, and isn't actually a lady-loving alien, but still...

[such_heights]

Ha, yeah, I guess Vastra has decided she really doesn't give a crap, which is kind of great.

[ignipes]

I would watch an entire show of them fighting crime and flirting.

[such_heights]

I don't understand why it isn't already on my tellybox, I have to be honest.

[king_touchy]

How many versions of Holmes and Watson does the universe need, anyhow?

Apparently one more! Whoa, this looks like fun!

(If it were its own show, I'd watch it.)

[merryghoul]

I feel pretty much your feels. \o/

[shei]

Could you please tell me if it's a prequel or an actual clip from the ep? Avoiding as many spoilers as I can.

[such_heights]

It's a prequel, so spoilers for setting etc but it's not from the episode itself.

[marina]

AHHHHHHH OMG THIS CLIP. I truly cannot overstate the need the universe has for more of Jenny and Vastra.

[ladymercury_10]

ADORABLE.

[petra]

That is superb.

[midnitemarauder]

SO MUCH LOVE!! ♥ ♥ ♥ I'm really looking forward to Christmas! \o/

[elisi]

Of course, Moffat has a thing for awesome lesbian detectives. From Jekyll:



(And yes, that's Meera Syal and Fenella Woolgar - i.e. Nasreen and Agatha Christie...)

[such_heights]

Despite my dislike of horror, I do really really need to watch Jekyll sometime, don't I? Because that's too much awesome to resist.

[netgirl_y2k]

Okay, my dilema is this: by the time I've taught myself enough groundbreaking physics and engineering to construct a time machine Christmas day will have long come and gone, on the other hand, showing me this and then expecting me to wait a week is just cruel.

[such_heights]

I FEEL YOUR PAIN. *counts days*

[some_stars]

oh gosh yes :D :D :D :D :D

[tellitslant]

Keysmash of loooooooooove.

[magic_at_mungos]

*makes little heart googly eyes* *flails**beams*

I'll come back when I can actually form coherent sounds

[copracat]

My heart is three sizes bigger this morning.

[liseuse]

EEEEEEEEE!!!!!! OMG, AWESOME!!!!

[lizbee]

MY HEART JUST EXPLODED WITH GLEE

AND ALSO A BIT OF SCHADENFREUDE AT THE PEOPLE WHO SAID VASTRA AND JENNY WOULD NEVER COME BACK, AND IF THEY DID THEY WOULDN'T BE OVERTLY QUEER EXCEPT IN A HYPER-SEXUAL WAY, BECAUSE SOMETHING SOMETHING MOFFAT

[gorgeousnerd]

MERRY EARLY CHRISTMAS TO ME WOW

[bobcatmoran]

Eeee, so awesome! Jenny + Vastra = <3

Also, I see that the fine Doctor Who tradition of snow-that-isn't-actually-snow on Christmas is continuing. I hope that this one is better than ash from a blown-up spaceship (ick).

[snorkackcatcher]

Hee! So Victorian Inspector Guy is all: "OK, I can easily believe in the clones from outer space and the ancient race of lizard people, but two females in love? WELL THAT'S JUST CRAZY TALK." :)
