Doctor Who-y thoughts and a vid rec

[alias_sqbr]

First a very nice Amy vid : Half Life

Which leads into my thinky thoughts but they are spoilery up to "Amy's Choice", so, beware the crack cut...(Summary: not TOTALLY in love with current show direction but overall am finding it quite interesting)

Oh, cheers for the rec!

Yeah, I'm having issues with things being at times too explicit, generally prefer fucked up UST. Doesn't help that I seem to be the only person who doesn't really care for Amy/Rory. But the character study of the Doctor is shaping out pretty well, and I like that he shoves his angst into weird parts of subconscious rather than moping all over the place.

I like Amy/Rory as an alternative to Amy/The Doctor rather than entirely on it's own merits.

Exactly!

Yeah, I'm perfectly comfortable with the idea of Amy/Rory, it's just they're a bit generic as a couple. And after being disappointed both by Rusty's shipping and Moff's more mature approach, come back around to thinking it should be ambiguous.

[alias_sqbr]

Yeah, I'd rather shipping be not done than done badly. Season 4 of New Who was a nice respite after 2 and 3.

v v ymmv

That's one reason I loathed Ianto/Jack in S1 and 2; bad slash is one thing, bad canon slash is like being repeatedly slapped in the face. That's one where I actually think Rusty improved it.
