There has been stuff
I said I would try and keep posting, so here I post XD
There has been nice stuff: lots of work, for one, yippee XD Also writing: my Harry Potter got finished, and on time for the birthday of my friend too! :D Phew, that much is out of the way. Productivity-wise… that has been all XD Getting so behind on fandom things, trying not to worry too much about that. Eh, it is what it is. I know people will be understanding, I just hate feeling stuff pile up and the extra pressure that gives, plus my inner OTP starts shrieking. Never mind. ;)
Also, Doctor Who! :D My mother watched Time of the Doctor and Deep Breath last night: she really enjoyed both, and loved Capaldi near-instantly, though she was also very fond of Matt Smith :) In the meantime I watched two thirds of Robot of Sherwood-yeah, still doing the fragmented thing XD It was pretty nice, very fun. A sum-up of my impressions of the season thus far:
Deep Breath
Mostly I really loved the first half XD I had problems with quite a few things. Some of that has been discussed in reaction posts with a few of you already. Some things felt awkward or heavy-handed, most of all the way they seemed to beg the audience to give Twelve a chance through Clara… er, we would have anyway. XD I was a bit iffy about plot things too, but I'm in a bit of a hurry and hate to be negative so I'll call it mixed feelings. However, I really enjoyed seeing Clara in a more vulnerable place, being an actual flawed character and getting further development. And loved the Paternoster gang ♥ (Except for a few iffy details, but yeah XD) And Capaldi is full of greatness. ♥
Into the Dalek
is my favourite thus far. Just very intense, dark and impactful; Capaldi's performance was brilliant, Clara's role was nice, and I really enjoyed Danny's introduction. It's great to see the Daleks be actually scary. And the concept was pretty good.
Robot of Sherwood (two thirds of it =P)
Lots of fun. It's a real comedy riot, a bit overdone sometimes because that's the point of comedy, but sheer entertainment-I was giggling and facepalming along. Twelve was HILARIOUS. Probably not going to stick to my mind strongly or be a favourite, but definitely very nice to watch.
One less-good I noticed there: I like Clara a wee bit less, it's kind of on and off, and I think that episode helped me nail one of the main reasons: the cocky-bossy side, which is already something that put me off about Amy. Moffat girls… =P Oh well.
Will add a bit about that one once I get around to watching the ending :) Hearing the best about Listen, so I'm looking forward to that one, too.
