Fans. <3
Who is the greatest troll of them all? MOFFAT IS! *profound love* (Sort of Sherlock/Doctor Who crossover. Zero spoilers.)
(I think this is THE great divider between Joss/RTD and Moffat - the former love to lull people into a false sense of security and then STAB THEM IN THE BACK, whereas the Moff makes everything IMPOSSIBLE, and then solves it in the most ridiculous (but perfectly logical) manner possible, whilst clearly laughing his head off.)
And speaking of, well, fannishness, then you should all go read![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Being a Buffy Fan on the Internet - 1998-2012.
Lots of good thoughts about the evolution of Buffy fandom, and how things have changed, inspired by Mark Watches, and how he might be watching the same show, but he's not on the same journey that fandom was on back then. (I had a lot of thoughts - see the comments.)

Totally. Actually Joss and RTD are perfectly troll-like too, they just don't do it on-screen.

It should give you a very good insight into why it had the impact it had.

And I never had enough tapes to keep everything I wanted; every week was an agonizing decision about what would have to get recorded over.
Also I have lovely nostalgic memories about downloading fic on the family computer with the dial-up modem and then saving it onto floppy disks to read on the ancient, creaking computer that had wound up in my room through some miracle, lol.

As for Moffat, then have you heard of The Infinity Clock? It's a game that's out soon, featuring the Doctor and River. :)

And Moffat cackles. :)
I have found that I enjoy more of the 'Moffat-type' philosophy more and more. I don't mind things being impossible, but I don't want them to end that way. I think the ultimate message of hope is much more entertaining than the idea that we are all alone.
Mmmm, I agree very much. ♥
I don't know if this is because of the fact that I'm getting older or something else, and I suck at meta too much to analyze it.
Not to be disparaging, but I think there's something about 'youth' that thinks 'dark' stuff is all edgy and deep? It's a gross simplification, but I think as people grow older most learn to appreciate things more?

Yes, and this is why, for all his faults and I'm not completely blind to them, I love him. *nods*
