Enemy at the Door

[dbskyler]

I just binge-watched the first series of "Enemy at the Door," which is partly because I found it on Youtube, and also thisbluespirit's fault for talking about that show and making me curious to try it.

It's about the occupation of the Channel Islands during WWII, and the overall anxiety and greyness about everything is perfectly hitting my mental state right now. Although I should probably be seeking out more uplifting fare as I'm also struggling a lot with depression. On the other hand, I do get the occasional laugh from random guest British actors playing Nazi officers with incredibly upper-crust British accents. It's probably not as jarring to a British audience, but to me, it sounds about as out-of-place as if David Tennant dropped in to play a Nazi with a broad Scottish accent just for kicks.

I have no idea if you are around enough to see this, but a fuller version of that Seventh Doc comic strip with him & Sarah hugging (& in colour!) passed my dash, so of course I thought of you: https://karma-and-flares.tumblr.com/post/63374765919/and-now-in-colour-doctor-who-classics-issue

If you do see this, I hope you are well! ♥

Yes, I am still lurking! Thanks so much for passing that on -- it's lovely.

I am doing okay. Struggling with Pandemic, like all of us, but overall I'm pretty fortunate, as my job has been stable and no immediate members of my family have gotten too ill.

I hope you're doing okay, too!

I'm glad to know you're still around and more or less okay(ish)! ♥

You saw my last post, so I'm pretty much as usual, having ups and downs with the ME, not yet magically cured (drat it!), still distracting myself when fandom whenever I can.

And, aw, glad to know I could share that with you. I remembered finding the second panel somewhere & linking you ages ago, so I thought of you and your Doctor + Sarah + hugs policy immediately!
