WAIT WHAT NO HOW DO I KEEP GETTING EMOTIONALLY INVESTED IN (PROBABLY) SATAN??
Because the writers want you to I suppose? Although regarding Lost, I am slightly concerned by how much I am still convinced that MIB has a point and that Jacob is an ass despite the fact that the writers have *said* MIB is the big bad. (But but but, they haven't said Jacob is good!) I am horribly swayed by good acting? I still have a bit I cut out of a magazine with Michael Emerson saying the writers keep trying to make him think Ben is actually the Antichrist stuck on my wall just to remind me of the absurdity of what is bearable in story that would be terrifyingly horrific in real life!
to me it always reads as a piece of LOM fanfiction that Alex is unwittingly writing for herself
Yes, this exactly. :) And I can see why if one was very into LOM one could be worried at this point, although I think it would be a hard heart that could dislike A2A's existance full stop.
I thought my affection and glee was due in high part to this being my "first" proper Who experience
Well, it's funny, because in some ways this series feels like it's my first "real" TV Who experience. There's this myth around the show, and how it's supposed to make you feel, and even with Nine's series, which I really liked as television, I didn't usually feel quite how everyone seemed to tell me Doctor Who should feel like, and didn't until I got into the book fandom. But now it's like I finally really understand what everyone was going on about!
