The most amusing thing of this whole 'SHINY NEW DOCTOR EVERYONE IS EXCITED' is scrolling through Twitter and seeing all the people deciding they want to get back to the show, but have heard it's rubbish now, and receiving endless reassurances that 'RTD Is Coming Back, Everything Is Going To Be Amazing Again' and just...
*hands*
I REMEMBER LAST TIME. Fandom hated him. Moffat might as well have been the Second Coming. I wonder how long it'll take for things to turn again. (Not that he cares. *g*)

ANYWAY. If anyone is missing Moffat Who, and timey-wimey shenanigans, they should watch Russian Doll. We finished S2 last week and I'm beginning to recover. Darcy described it as 'Catharsis in a Rubik's Cube', which is absolutely spot-on and genius.
Stay far far away from spoilers, just jump in. It's clever and smart and has awesome female characters and there is zero hand holding.
Oh and S2 might make you cry. It might not seem like it, because there is a LOT going on, but once you realise what it's actually doing it's packs a punch (softly, beautifully).
Warning: The whole thing is basically about trauma (childhood/inter-generational), so please be aware in case that's a trigger. ♥

ETA: Tumblr is reading Dracula (it's a thing where you get emailed a bit every day? Because the book is mostly in a diary format). It's hilarious! Tumblr + Dracula = pure delight

I read it before Moffat's Dracula aired, to know the material, and it's rather dry (not sure that's the right word? Religious?) in places. I am curious at how Tumblr will cope with later developments.
Dracula has a serious claim to be the first Modern Horror Novel and there's a reason it's never gone out of print.
Oh yes. It's easy to see why it became popular.
Although I do get kind of tired with everyone mocking Jonathan but that's just Tumblr.
Eh, soon all their hearts will be broken, so...

It takes a while to get going, sure. But once it does, whooo!

Not Well.

To be fair, the old man at the very beginning, in Whitby, complaining* about the tourists, is possibly my favourite. Nothing has changed!
Not Well.
Well there seems to be plenty of Knowledgeable People around, being Sensible, so let's hope they manage to calm people down.
