We've transcended the brocolli test
So I've clambered back on the Who bandwagon, damn Moffat et al. Spurred by the goodwill generated by the new gang, I've gone back to revisit the RTD-years, and dammit Rusty, you fangirl. I finally saw the series four finale (my Who-watching post-halfway point of series 2 and series 1 Torchwood is spotty at best - so I keep catching either the specials or the finales, which tend to run to excessiveness. I guess it's a good thing that I did catch End Of Time in real time... if only to feel vindicated about my abandoning the show, heh).
The hilarious thing today is that I'm so buzzed by ep 5 (Flesh and Stone), but
frangipani's not around, so poor
scaramouche had to bear the brunt of it, even though I kept it in generalities. This person - for all the years living in the UK - has plead ignorance to both Who and Marmite so clearly the British has really gone down the drain in the whole colonialisation of the mind business. Tsk Britain. XD
It's all right though, since she was buzzing about Dollhouse. So how did we get each other to understand? Well, I don't follow Dollhouse but I know Whedon-verse well enough, but how did I get her to understand what I'm trying to say about Who?

Our fannish coded language is a bit ridiculous, but it works! Concurrently, due to some sex-rom-com RL shenanigans that happened to me last week, she's dubbed me as being sort of like fanon!Daniel Jackson. ): LOOK I CAN'T HELP BEING THAT OBLIVIOUS OKAY.
Everyone's just amused though. Witness
