I’ve read this over half a dozen times in the past few months, and realised I should say “thank you.” You articulated a large number of the reasons I love S5. Really? *beams* Thank you so much for telling me! :)
I have seen the rest of New Who, and like it. But there’s something special about this series. *nods a lot* I, too, have tried in vain to pinpoint what that elusive *something* is, that tips the scales, but I haven't been able to yet. (And it's not like I didn't love the show before. S5 is just... magical! Yes, that's it. It's magic!)
I used to be more critical of it (I’m critical even of things I love), but you changed my mind on some points. S5 is a coherent whole, far more than I originally thought. Now that is by far the best compliment you could ever give me! \o/
I think I’m rambling here, so I’ll stop. Oh never stop rambling - I sure don't! ;)
