TV meme day 29
Day 29 - Current t.v show obsession
Which is actually a day much, much later than that, but never mind.
My answer for this simply has to be
and not just because the finale was a few days ago. Rather, it's because there's always more. I'm a multifannish girl at heart and have a hard time keeping focus when there are so many shiny fandoms around, but Doctor Who never ends. If there aren't any actual new episodes, or any glorious spinoffs, I can always return to the classic series and pick up an adventure that's brand new to me if not to the world. (So far I've only seen about a fourth of them.) And if one day I would run out, why, then there are books and audios and whatnot. (Don't sneer at tie-ins. Lloyd Rose's The City of the Dead is a delight, and Gareth Roberts' Only Human is quite fun too. I'm sure there are more that I haven't read yet. Something to look forward to!)
And regardless of the season, there's always something fun to see. From Hartnell to Smith, from a scrapyard to the Pandorica, from Ian and Barbara to Amy and Rory. Something really annoying about the polarization of fandom this season is that it has forced me in with the Rusty-haters, and I'm not a Rusty-hater. He had me at... okay, not at hello, but certainly at ”run for your life.”
It's well known that the world of Doctor Who can be any time, any place. Stone age, end of the universe, an ancient Aztec temple, a space station on Mars. It can also be any genre: sci-fi, obviously, but also fantasy, horror, comedy, historical drama, domestic drama, mystery, and just plain fairytale. It's everything, everywhere, and has nearly fifty years of awesome characters and places to choose from.
I could get into details, but it would really take forever. So I offer you the crack van overview as well as video proof in my When All Is Said And Done. (And about eight of the women in Can't Keep A Good Woman Down for that matter.)
