Warning: Doctor Who rant ahead. Spoilers!

( A rant in which I show that I am the only person on the planet that hated the episode and I'm okay with that mantle )

YANA. Well, maybe I'll just keep on watching as i'm curious, but ... Moffat killed my love for DW.

verdant_gt October 2 2011, 11:54:41 UTC

I'm glad I'm not the only one. :D I figured what little curiosity I still have, I can read about in spoilers and blogs. ;)

Maybe that if River's storyline is over and we get a new companion, I might enjoy it more?
I don't know... It most likely another dissapointment...
*waiting for TobyWhitehouse/PaulCornell/NeilGaiman/StephenFry to take over*

Dude, that would be awesome if that came to pass. Especially with Neil Gaiman.

I just hope Moffat don't start writing about all nameless wanderers through the multiverse..

verdant_gt October 2 2011, 11:55:14 UTC

Oh good God that would have killed my love for Buffy. *shudder*

What were they thinking? The moment he travels with someone else of his own race that's it, no companions - or, no, I'm wrong. Hopefully fewer companions yearning-after-him, a much wider potential range of plot dynamics, and River flippin' Song and - didn't she give up all her further incarnations to restore him to life?

Re: ooc verdant_gt October 2 2011, 16:54:18 UTC

Well I get the giving up regenerations to make the Doctor live after she used her poisonous lipstick on him because it would explain how someone that could regenerate died in the Library. At least that was a plot hole cleaned up but that left about a gazillion others.

I'm also as tired of Moffat rebooting the freaking universe as I was with Davis using Cybermen and Daleks all the time.

I totally called it a few weeks ago, during the Hitler ep. It was a good ep, it wasn't a GREAT ep. I don't think that the Moff is the best thing ever. In fact, in some ways, I hanker for the days of RTD (and that is something I NEVER thought I would say).

And bring back British Torchwood. No offence, but piss off American TV. You don't get our shows. Look at Life on Mars.

verdant_gt October 2 2011, 18:36:06 UTC

Oh my God. Jane Espenson killed Torchwood. Or maybe her and a combination of people but they killed it DED. They did get me to like Gwen though so that's something.

Now, my TW canon ended with Children of Earth. I will be stuck in a time loop after that like 4/22/11 5:02 :P

The one thing that stood out to me in this episode was Rory. I was like 'Rory, you're hot' cause most of the time the male 'second' companions can get screwed. It was nice to see him all strong and stuff.

I'm sort of hoping that 'Doctor Who' is more like 'Who the hell do you think you are' and not his name. Like who is the Doctor? Really?

Also, I thought River told the Doctor in the library his name? o.O

P.S. I want to know your reaction to Merlin.

verdant_gt October 3 2011, 10:26:21 UTC

Rory was fabulous and the glimpse of Charles Dickens made me squee hard. There were points of brilliance but not enough to make up for the ho-hum for me imho.

I loved Merlin. I hope they continue on this path and don't make me regret loving it like they did last season in regard to Morgana. :P Heh when you tweeted about Snape I about died laughing because I thought the same thing. My one gripe this season as it was last, if you're going to jump ahead a year, give us some flashbacks of what happened rather than everything "off camera" and we have to go with it. Like the alliance between Morgana and Arthur's uncle. WTH? I loved it but how did that even happen? Those kinds of things.

snowbunny22 October 3 2011, 14:41:00 UTC

Yeah, they definitely do a lot of off-screen stuff. Like what the heck happened to Morgause's face?

I kinda eye rolled at the evil uncle. I'm like 'Hello, Hamlet'. I feel the king might get poisoned at some point.

I like Morgana's new hairdo. I think Lancelot's (who will def be going darkside at some point) hair needs to grow out a bit >.>

verdant_gt October 4 2011, 00:29:22 UTC

I know! I was shocked when they said it was a year later. I thought well that was from whatever happened in Camelot when Morgana went nuclear.

Heh it's probably wrong of me to think how fun it would be for a Morgana/Lancelot evil duo. I loved her hair in the episode. It was very pretty. Well more pretty, Katie has beautiful hair.
