Five Unpopular Fandom Opinions Meme - Doctor Who
Okay I've been pretty quiet here and I've feeling stressed out bored and so I thought: I know, let's ignite a fandom war on my LJ*. :p
1) Journey's End is a sucktastic bit of crack!fic. It turns DW into soapsforboys. And I read comic books. I know what I'm talking about. :D Now for me to say this takes a lot. I love all DW with BLIND devotion. Messianic/Athestic/gay agenda (and whatever else the fanboys scream about) New Who? Eh, no worries. OldSkool wobbly sets, cheesy monsters and gravel pits? Bring 'em on! The Valyard? Sure why not? The Watcher? Random, but no problem. Seven? I wanna give him squishy hugs. Six? *gulp* Okay. I learned to love him even though he showed up acting batshit crazy and took away MY DOCTOR. *sob* So this is me: blind devotee no more. :(
2) Rose totally told Ten to jump through that window and save Madame Du Pompadour. And Rose wasn't jealous of her either. To suggest that she was either totally defies her characterization.
3) Oldskool Master (Ainly/Delgato/that guy in the Eight movie) was meh. Too much mustache twirling, bwahahaha, look at me I'm eeeevil! stuff. (I will admit I've not seen any Doc Three since I was around thirteen and my preteen self found that era meh in general.) OTOH, Simm-Master is IwanttohavehisevilTimebabies awesome. I would rethink the Eleven era if I knew for certain he was coming back as a regular.
4) Enough with the Daleks and Cybers already. Can we just move on now, y/y? (We could have the Yeti. :P)
5) I think I love Eight. *cringes* After the movie aired I was ready to throw stuff at the TV. Seven killed by a street gang? Bwah? Doctor is half-human? **jaw drops in disbelief** Kisses girls?! **recoils in OldSkool!fan horror** DW in California? **faints** I categorically declared it DW writen by someone who just didn't get Who and reached for the brain bleach.
But then I got DSL. (DSL has a lot to answer for.) I watched the web story of Shada with Eight & Romana. And I loved it. Then I listened to some clips of the Eight audios. And I loved those. So then I re-watched the movie. o_O It's not as dire as remembered. Well. Okay it is. The master/eye of harmony/half-human(lalala) is just bad. Buuuut, the kissing girls thing - I can deal with now. And Eight is squishy adorable. Now I want to unlock a DVD so I can get the movie. And fast forward a lot. XD
*No not really. My f-list is small, my journal unlinked to fanish places, and I have a comment delete button and I'm not afraid to use it. XD
