I can't really say anything on Divergent, I've never made up my mind on whether I should try reading it and this probably knocked it back a few places on the priority list.
But the DW 50th, yeah, I've pretty much just divorced myself from it to avoid thinking about it and getting angry again. Moffat just doesn't.get.it. And then I think back on that one time RTD got to write Eleven for the SJA and I weep for what might have been with someone better handling things the last few years; I might have been watching the show for one.
I'm having a weird reaction to TVD this season. It is almost unarguably better than last season, especially with the expanded role for Katherine (I don't necessarily take issue with how the others treat her, but I need to see her find her way again), and yet...the passion has gone out of it for me. Last season I was full of rage and vitriol but I *cared* enough to rage at it. Now it's just this kind of mediocre show that I keep watching and doesn't provoke much reaction at all. The Originals on the other hand...
READ IT AND THEN COME TALK TO ME ABOUT IT no I mean save yourself.
The only way I can handle it is to think that it's an alternate timeline and in the RTD timeline, there was no John Hurt Doctor and the Doctor still blew up Gallifrey. Otherwise the first few seasons of the show feel like one big damn pointless lie and it makes me want to punch things again.
I know what you mean. This season is better in the very least because (a) No sire bond; and (b) no Klaus. But it's hard to get worked up about much of anything in the show anymore even when it annoys me.
