Yes, really. I tend to reread it when I need a reminder, or when I've accidently read one too many negative reviews/comments/whatnot. There's another meta out there that compares Moffat's world to Tolkien's and it fills in a bit more of the puzzle (Tolkien's Silmarillion is my primary fandom), but I doubt I'll ever figure out the entirity of why I love it so much.

And it's not like I didn't love the show before.

If it hadn't been for S5, I would have never watched the show aside from those few episodes. Even my sister couldn't get me into it, and we have very similar tastes.

S5 is just... magical! Yes, that's it. It's magic!

I'll go with that!

Oh never stop rambling - I sure don't! ;)

:D Yeah, but yours at least makes sense. Mine didn't. :P

I will say this: TBB made me fall in love with River. I'd liked her before, but that scene with the Dalek… She's now one of my favorite characters.
