Remember that Your Friends Are Not Watching the Same Show You Are (And That's Okay)? An excerpt:

In new school Doctor Who fandom, fans are often watching very different shows. Some are watching the "Rose Tyler Show," and are vexed at the continued absence of the lead. Others tuned in late to enjoy the "Martha Jones Show," and were surprised but pleased when their show took over Torchwood for a while. While no one yet seems to be watching the "Donna Noble Show," Dr. Merlin has already observed a large shift among her friends to enjoying the "Ten and Donna Are the New Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant But Could Also Totally Be Karen and Jack From Will and Grace Show," which one can only imagine is hard to fit on the title cards. Still other Who fans have been in the fandom long enough that they're just along for the ride (or else they're still watching the original "Sarah Jane Adventures" and wondering where Harry went).

I think I am currently watching a combination of the "Eleventy is The Most Delightful Doctor Ever Show", the "Amy/Rory are Adorable Show" and the "River Song is Made of Awesome Show". It's the last one I'm currently flailing over, partly because of rediscovering Fuck Yeah! River Song on Tumblr, which (amongst endless pretties) had this fabulous drawing:



(I absolutely love the idea of River as the daughter of Han Solo and Princess Leia!)

Also, my favourite River vids right now are these two, both of which could have 'River Song is Made of Awesome' as their summary:

All I Wanted by katoelizabeth.

Let It Rock by fangjam.

ETA: And now I have a fic rec too: Skipping Stones by _thirty2flavors. (Travelling between worlds to find the Doctor, Rose meets only one person who knows her by name.)

Both vids are great and the first one is totally a fav of mine as well.
I like your definition of what kind of show you're currently watching and I could just add : "Ten is moving me beyond my wildest expectations Show" and "Ten and Donna are the best Tardis team Show :)
I need to organize my impressions on the whole season 5 , and post. Maybe next week. I'm letting RL have the priorities at the moment.

Oh I ship them so much! It's quite ridiculous, really, but lovely too! :)

Oooooh I watched (and loved) those shows too! Plus the 'Martha Jones is awesome Show' and 'Doctor/Master are totally the OPT of Gallifrey Show' and a whole lot of other ones! (Ten had the same quality that Spike has, of being able to break your heart just with a look...

Rl should always come first! And I'm very looking forward to your thoughts when you get there. :)
