TW Miracle Day part 3

[elisi]

Well I was spoiled up the wazoo for this one (my own fault), so it felt kinda slow? The fact that my brain is half dead from intensive work related training might also have something to do with it.

Anyway, it's still odd to be so removed from something I once loved to distraction. It's like... watching through a duvet. Emotionally I mean. And the American setting REALLY doesn't help. It's like part of my brain can appreciate all the points RTD is making about death, but the other half is going 'Crikey, there's nothing like a true, good oldfashioned liberal, is there?' - or: 'OH HAI THERE, I SEE THAT DRUG COMPANIES AND RAMPANT CAPITALISM ARE EV0L. THANKS FOR CLEARING THAT UP!'


Anyway, am off to bed. Brain SERIOUSLY not with it at the moment... zzzzzzzz

Ahhhh, That certainly helps!
Oh good. It's really weird, because this hasn't happened in any of my other fandoms (f.ex. I went straight from adoring the Tennant era to falling head over heels for the Matt Smith era). Although considering the way Ianto's death completely and utterly gutted me (yet I will defend RTD's right to kill him off 100%), I'm not entirely surprised.

I guess, I see it right now as a cross between TW and 24
I never watched 24, but from what I know of it that's a good comparison. :)

Ohhhh I forgot about that line. I thought that was a toss out to Jack's Time Agency Days.
I think it was re. the contact lenses? I was half asleep when I watched it...

I've been a Whovian for the past 30-ish years. So, I'm used to new and old and the changes. Though, my 8-year-old self will never quite forgive "Five for killing Four."

Usually I handle DW changes quite well, even learned to like Peri and Six, much to my own chagrin. But, S5-6? Meh. I'd rather watch most of Six's serials again, than those two seasons. And actually? I have - well Trial of a Time Lord, because it's ftw!

[elisi]

Having hardly seen any Old!Who I'm not really biased for the old show, but S5-6 is pretty much hitting every single fannish button I possess. So I draw pink sparkly hearts around it, and am sad for those who don't like it. However I'm sure that in time it'll once more morph into something you like more - that's the lovely thing about a show that regenerates. :)

I'm not holding my breath :P

[elisi]

Never say never. Maybe Twelve will be the Doctor you never knew you needed...

[jhumor]

Right... should've been more specific. Not holding my breath as long as Moff is in charge. :P

[elisi]

Ah. We seem to be at cross purposes then, since I'm hoping he stays in charge forever! ;)
