things I worry about on a semi-regular basis

The adorable stupidfaces, aka Karen and the Babes, aka Matt Smith, Karen Gillan, and Arthur Darvill, were at Comic-Con. Which is an introduction, basically, for a picture that is so hipster it hurts

I have a lifetime membership to the Martha Jones Defense and Appreciation Society, and I will always love the strength she shows when she leaves the Doctor, but she should never have been treated in such a way that her best option was pulling the escape cord on a toxic relationship. Hmph. Do not want, ever again.

Also, PONDS. I kind of feel like it would be a slap in the face if something bad happened to them, because the show has emphasized the positive, resilient aspects of their story and *not* the "terrible things happen to you when you travel with the Doctor" side of things. Even "The God Complex" is followed by "Closing Time" (where the Doctor looks fondly on his glorious Pond) and the Christmas special. And "The Wedding of River Song" shows that no matter what's happened, Amy and Rory and River are still a family; they still have each other, even if not in the right order. I can't see Moffat throwing all that out in favor of tragedy, and yet I *also* can't help thinking that it could all be a long setup for a really big tragedy.

It's doubly frustrating for me because there are things about the Ten/Martha relationship that I love *so much*, if he would just stop lapsing into jerkdom! The way he trusts Martha, on day one, with his life and his plans appeals to me on a deep and abiding level - but then it's "Rose would know" this, and "Never waste time on a hug" that, and "Martha, would you mind walking a destroyed earth for a year, and when you get back I *still* won't praise you like I'd praise any of my other companions for doing much less? Thanks!" *sigh*

I spent so many LJ posts on those two. Man.
