Like everyone else I was !!!!!! about the new trailers. I'm loving the dynamic between characters and the promise of a bit of a darker turn but mostly I'm excited about more River
( Read more... )
We don't see River telling a story to her friends, or in a setting outside the home (even though she has the whole world to choose from), she is telling a bedtime story to a child before tucking them in.
but that's because the target audience for this show isn't "hot people in their late twenties/early thirties", it's children. and it's not just CAL that we see, safe and sound, it's the two kids from donna's dream life, and the last time we saw them they had disappeared, followed by donna screaming like they had just died.
She is, literally, the Angel in the House, from her wardrobe to her actions.
i'm not really sure what that means? we don't see her engage in any actions other than "be dressed in white, like all of her other dead but reunited friends" and reading the story. but like i said, the fact that she looks right at the camera seems to discount, to me, that we're supposed to take the scene literally. and where else should a bedtime story be told than in a house?
i am way harsh on moff's sexism (i love girl in the fireplace, but i hate hate HATE "he's worth the monsters", because you know it would never be a character like mickey who'd be saying that), i just honestly don't see how this is supposed to be an example of it.
