this post is belated by about a year

Uh. Hi. It's been, like, 11 months since I went on that hiatus? Long, long time. But I am alive! And back now! (well, sorta, no promises, uh...)

Sorry, I didn't mean to disappear for that long, and I wouldn't blame you if you're currently wondering who the fuck this random person on your flist is and had forgotten I exist or whatever. Or if you have/have wanted to defriend me. I'll leave this as a green light to do just that if you want.

Anyway, a lot has happened in my life since January, but umm it's not worth going into and I don't feel like talking about it right now anyway (except that we got a doggy! That's always worth mentioning).

Let's talk about TV instead! Series 6 of Doctor Who has aired. And it's all pretty much old news now, lol, but I'mma go on about it anyway:


I... didn't like Series 6 as much as Series 5. It had great episodes - The Doctor's Wife, especially, was easily my favourite, it was wonderful, and I quite liked The Rebel Flesh/The Almost people, too. But it also had not... so great episodes. The series opener and the mid-series finale both had me just ????? in a worse way than The Big Bang did. idk, just... I can't even state all the plot holes, there are so many. (Also, did the Doctor really have all of humanity commit genocide? What.)

And River is Amy's daughter... well, I'd already read that theory online and I was kinda hoping for something... something, idk, something less fanfictiony, I guess. idk it was just a bit... anti-climactic?

Then S6b happened and no one cares about Melody now? I mean, I know Let's Kill Hitler put forth the idea that River already had been brought up as a 'weapon' to kill the Doctor, but Moffat's done the time can be rewritten thing before, so... c'mon, he could have tried harder.

Seriously though, why do Amy and Rory not care about getting back their daughter now? Why are they not furious with the Doctor?

That said, ignoring the Melody plot, episodes 10 through 12 were very good. I especially liked the one set in the hotel (for which the title has totally escaped me). Problem is, I feel like I've just been watching for the odd, good episode lately. Kinda sucks.

'The Wedding of River Song' was... yeah.



I don't even know. It had the few good bits, but mostly it was... problematic and plot holes galore.

I could talk more about it, but... I can't be bothered to list everything I disliked right now. So I'll just shut up.

But for now, D- Moffat, try harder next time.

I've also been watching Dexter, Misfits, The Walking Dead and Community, and might articulate my thoughts on them at some point, idk.

But anyway. It's been like... a year. What's new with you?
