Me + too much time + no social life to speak of = finally catching up with Who. And, well that was fun. I adore Amy. I love Rory (so awesome *hearts*). And the Doctor. Well, he's the Doctor, right? Gotta love him. (Although I'm pretty sure the Doctor is asexual and shipping doesn't really interest me in this show, I could very well imagine some sort of one-sided Doctor-having-feelings-for-Rory ... -thing. But then, I just love the three of them together - Amy, Rory and the Doctor, all of them somehow caring for each other in their own ways and their destinies entangled.)

My favourite episodes were The Eleventh Hour and The Beast Below, which were so fucking fantastic and magical in a childish, fairy-tale way. I think that's part of why I got stuck with the series in the first place. Because science-fiction and cheap SFX never really were my thing (hai there, Babylon 5! I love you, but oh, these shows with the crappy alien make-up), but something about Dr. Who brings out my inner child and lets my eyes light up. And then Vincent and the Doctor, which made me cry so much, I don't even know. It was beautiful and sad and so touching - something I never would've expected from Dr. Who because I mostly watched it for the fun.

There were some flaws and weaker episodes - namely The Hungry Earth/Cold Blood and The Lodger - and the moving trashcans Daleks positively grate on my nerves (their voices, gah!), but all in all I really liked watching this season of Dr. Who. Count me in for the future seasons (no, I'm not ready to check out the past seasons, yet - I'm too fond of my OT3-made-of-win for now).

Heeeeeee! Isn't it all just so much FUN? I mean, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the bits with the reptiles were a bit weak (I think it's mostly a call back for fans of the original series) but... it's so much fun! And that's sort of why I don't want to participate in the fandom because there's such a great deal of meta and analysis around, never mind the character and writer bashing (RTD can't write and Moffat is a sexist *rolls eyes*) and I don't want anything to do with it because I know it's unrealistic and pulls a Deus Ex Machina out of its sleeve every time, but that's just the fun about it! Ok, have I said 'fun' often enough? Fun fun fun!

The Hungry Earth/Cold Blood really were my least favourite eps of this season. I can't even put a finger on why, it felt just so "meh".

Don't worry, I can't get my head wrapped around Who fandom either. For one thing, I don't really have the urge to do so, for another: the show's way too cracky to be taken seriously all the time. It's supposed to be unrealistic, for chrissake! I mean, if you start picking the show apart because of the Deus Ex Machina, then you'd have to go on with the wacky time travel paradoxes ...-ons ...-things (and, oh dear God, Physics) and then you could never stop.

Rory

ROOOOOOOOOORYYYYYYYYYYYY. ♥ ♥ ♥

Ja. Soviel dazu von mir...

Ich finde die Daleks normalerweise eigentlich gut. Aber diese Power-Ranger-sort-of Daleks waren mir auch suspekt...

Roooooooory ist so toll. <3 Den möchte man einfach nur flauschen und knuddeln, der ist einfach so ne treue Seele und passt so gut ins Team.

Ich kenne leider nur die Daleks aus dieser Staffel, aber die fand ich doch recht ... strapaziös für die Nerven. XD Irgendwann guck ich mir aber auch mal die älteren Staffeln an, vielleicht gefallen sie mir da besser. ;)
