Angel meta.

This was written ages ago, and came about after reading various posts about Angel and people’s dissatisfaction with S5 (and Angel’s arc) etc. Not sure why I’m posting it now, but hey ho, no one bothered to comment on my fic and I’m bored and trying to tidy (and I'm IMPATIENT and want it to be tomorrow) and I need people talking to me.

ETA: Don't mention the comics. None of them. They're irrelevant to this post.

Recs & meta whilst avoiding DW spoilers.

Am procrastinating, being sleepy and still feeling the effects on my cold. And since my head is FULL OF THE DOCTOR AND RIVER SONG, I shall inflict stuff on you. :) Well as much as I can manage before I fall asleep or forget how to type.

First of all humansrsuperior's new vid: Tick Tock, Goes the Clock. (Description: Tick tock, goes the clock, even for the Doctor. Spoilers up to - and including! - 6.12) It's like a whole segment of my brain all bundled up into 1.30 minutes...

Also, #1 Crush by Garbage could very well be the MOTHER of all Doctor/River songs. I sincerely hope someone will make a big shiny vid to it after the finale. (Youtube/Lyrics.)

I would die for you
I would kill for you
I would steal for you
I'd do time for you
I would wait for you
I'd make room for you
I'd sail ships for you
To be close to you
To be a part of you
'Cause I believe in you
I believe in you
I would die for you.

(By the way, did no one like part 2 of my fic? Maybe I mislabelled it. It's not fluffy, angsty crack, it's meta-as-fic, trying to explore Doctor/River and their different outlooks, catch-22s, the problems of needing to save people, marriage vows and what they mean - with the Doctor's death quietly ticking away in the background. I just chose to wrap it up in River/Doctor/Marilyn Monroe, which is fluffy and cracky and angsty... *is sad that no one else likes Marilyn* Or maybe my writing is just too weird. That's entirely possible.)

ETA: OK, a little bit of meta regarding the arc this season. Funnily enough semi-inspired by my Angel meta. ( Spoilers for what's aired so far. )
