probably there is something wrong with me. . .

i'm too stuck in rl to join the various discussions about the dw spoiler. *that* spoiler. you know. so i will just say that perhaps there's something wrong with me because i still believe RTD could turn it into something reasonable. and i say that as someone who just didn't buy the whole "unrequited love" thing and found the end of s3. . .

Oh, thank goodness. I was beginning to think I was the last unrepentant optimist in DW fandom. Because my reaction is something along the lines of "Oh, hey, good, maybe this'll be an opportunity to actually redeem that particular character lack-of-arc and make things right, and if it badly fails to do that, I can bitch when it happens, and then it'll be done with, and we'll go on to the next fun thing." I thought about posting that thought in my LJ, but figured it would only lead to me getting buried under a deluge of squee-harshing. (Or equanimity-harshing?) And I don't need that.

I think, honestly, that it really, really helps if you don't actually give a rat's ass about shipping or shippers. And I appear to have finally reached a state of Zen on the issue.

all the shippers and ships come and go likes clouds across the blue sky of the TARDIS.

(i was trying to be zen. which means i failed. 'cuz of trying.)

yeah, i'm with you. it could work really well. now, lots of things on RTD's doctor who haven't worked out as well as i have hoped, but then that's true of most fiction things for me. so maybe it won't be good. but i've learned enough from watching RTD's stuff to know that i just can't predict how well things will work from hearing about tabloid-worthy stuff like this casting. i have to watch it.

until then. . . clouds in the sky. . .
