Bummed about Longmire :( I tweeted too but I only have like... 15 followers soooooo... LOL.

One report I read said they're trying to shop it around. I hope someone else picks it up.

I watched the newest DW. I'm a 10 girl, but let me tell you, after watching Capaldi in one episode (and the fact that I have a thing for much older men and also, his outfit and his accent) I might be in love with Capaldi...

I am totally a 10 girl too, so I think I won't need quite so much separation this time around. Losing Tennant was SO SAD!

but I only have like... 15 followers soooooo

Hahahah me too. And several of those are spam. I mostly use my twitter account to follow gymnastics blogs! :)

I really liked Capaldi on first encounter. Also, I reallllly loved Matt Smith's final episode, in spite of having watched almost none of his other episodes (yet).

You're definitely in a minority there! I did not like his last episode at all. I thought he had deserved a better ending. Then again there are some things I don't like about Ten's good-bye either.

In general I did not like the last few episodes of season 7, I thought they were confusing and boring. Moffat has tangled himself in a web of twists and re-sets and I had no idea what was true anymore.

The 50th anniversary was awesome though and I also was very entertained by the new Doctor.

I didn't enjoy the back half of season 7 as much, but I had a really hard time letting go of Amy and Rory so I assumed that was my problem! I actually considered taking a mini-hiatus there to cope, lol. Instead I just read a whole bunch of 'and then Amy and Rory live happily ever after' fic to console myself.

I had no idea what was true anymore

Yeah, I can definitely understand that point of view!

Are you up to date with recent episodes? I am really glad they are back to the stand alone episodes, where the problem gets solved in the end. There is a bigger story in the background, but you can watch each episode on their own. In seasons 6 and 7, they all were just one big story arc and you can't just watch one episode without the others.

I am SO bummed about Longmire--I just got into it!

[mrspollifax]

Have you read the books? They're definitely worth it. The first is a little slower but they pick up quickly after that!

[sharp2799]

My brother rec'd the show so I got season one from my library and then read the books. The one thing I find interesting is the difference in relationship between Sheriff Walt and Vic. I admit, when I read the books, my jaw dropped.

I like Henry Standing Bear but I've always had a thing for LDP. :D

[mrspollifax]

I read the books first but I can imagine the reaction the other way around!

I like Henry Standing Bear but I've always had a thing for LDP. :D

I am so with you there.

Oh, did I ever tell you that Longmire s1&2 are airing regularly on APTN (Aboriginal People's Television Network) here? This is interesting because I didn't think they had enough episodes for syndication yet, so there is definitely interest from parties other than A&E. I guess it just comes down to costs.
I'm not getting my hopes up yet, but it was just interesting. I have no idea what the broadcast models in other countries are like.

[mrspollifax]

Well, that is at least one positive data point. It's just such a niche show since I think you and I are probably the younger end of the demographic?? lol. Anyway that concerns me. But we can hope!
