I have a fandom confession to make: I like Doctor Who but don't love it. I enjoyed it when SciFi was running it, but when the season ended, I was perfectly content to wait until fall when it would start airing the new one. No great desire for torrents. And even when it was running on scifi, I was pretty OK with waiting a week between episodes. I have no desire for Who fic. I am not jumping up and down for spoilers. I wonder why. Probably because it's too episodic. I know that no matter what there'll never be an ending.
Fandom confession number two: I have a lot of Stargate fans on my flist but even though I tried the show repeatedly, I get bored within the first 10 minutes and switch the channel, every time. I think I am just going to give it up.
In unrelated news, three episodes in, Long Vacation has started working for me, all of a sudden. It's not going to be my favorite (it's too low-key) but I genuinely really like it now. I even like Minami (though she won't win my favorite dorama heroine award, not yet). It really made me think about something: I've liked plenty of heroines much more abrasive, but they were all cute 20-year olds. I guess I have ageism as a viewer, too :) But yes, all of a sudden, I feel for her.
And since I ran out of subbed eps of Silence, I am going to watch them unsubbed. However, I wonder if there is some place where I cn find detailed summaries of the thing so I won't be completely lost.
And Mars eps 16 and 17 are really really good. I totally adore the sex scene ('open your eyes, it's me' squeeeeee) and the whole Ling begging his father for help and completely capitulating (men negating selves for love is always hot) and Sheng's room is extra creepy, all those portraits of himself. And I love all the OTP cute moments, as when he is hugging her and she is laughing and saying it's too tight. They really have all those lovely little moments. And I love that he proposes marriage so casually, when they are sitting in bed. SQUEE.
