in regard to last night's doctor who:

[gyzym]

Okay, H50 folks, don't fret, I'm still plugging away at this monster fic, I just needed to stop any do this for a second. So, without further ado, an open letter to Mr. Moffat.

Dear Mr. Moffat,

Man, look, the thing is, I love you, I really do. I love Sherlock, I love Doctor Who, I love the episodes I've seen of Who that you wrote before the show fell into your hands. I trust you to tie up loose ends and carry off a plot more than I trust...er...pretty much anyone else working in television right now, which says something, because you take some crazy risks. And you've clearly written at least this season and the last of Who back to front, plot-wise, and who knows how far out that goes, and that's so ambitious and so dangerous in television, so you've got my respect, you really do. You've got mad balls, Mr. Moffat, and that's awesome.

However, I do have one quick, little question: OH MY GOD, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU, AND WHY, WHY DO YOU HATE ME?

Don't get me wrong! I loved the episode last night, I did, I really did. But the thing is, Mr. Moffat, I'm an absentminded person, I can't help it, I'm just One of Those People. I put things down and forget where they are. I lose my sunglasses when they're on my head. I open my mouth to say something and then forget it all the time, it's just a thing I do! And see, until last night, that wasn't a big deal, but now? Yeah, now it's a big deal. Because now, every time I forget what I was going to say--and it's pretty often that I do that--I am going to think OH MY FUCKING GOD, THE TERRIFYING ALIENS IN SUITS ARE RIGHT BEHIND ME. And, incidentally, the fact that they are wearing suits makes them soooo much creepier than they would be otherwise, and you know that, don't you, Moffat? This is all a ploy to torture the forgetful people of the world, isn't it? I mean, the Weeping Angels were bad enough, I'm afraid of gardens now, and I watched Blink for the first time last night and, okay, that last part, you are actively trying to cause nightmares.

It's good television, Mr. Moffat. I am glad to have seen it. I'm not even mad! I just need you to know that I'm onto you.

Oh, god, there was something else and I don't remember it, dhfdksfg oh my god, MOFFAT, I LOVE YOU, BUT I HATE YOU SO MUCH,
Jizz

oh my god you just summed up everything about DW last night.

OKAY SO. I HAVE JUST GOTTEN INTO DW AND AM SORT OF MARATHONING IT IN AN EFFORT TO CATCH UP. I wasn't able to get into the Ninth doctor with the fervor that some of my friends though I should, so I've skipped ahead to Series 3 and IT'S AWESOME BUT OH MY GOD I KNOW THERE ARE GOING TO BE HORRORS AHEAD OF ME AND A;LKDHLKADSJFALSKGHL Ten is still sort of sketchy with me because last night I absolutely fell in love with Eleven, but I like them both better than Nine, even though Nine is pretty good in his own right.

BUT OH MY GOD I WAS ALONE IN MY APARTMENT LAST NIGHT AND THERE WAS A STORM AND I WAS ALONE AND THE LIGHTS KEPT FLICKERING WITH THE THREAT OF POWER OUTAGE AND MY APARTMENT WAS SHAKING AND DID I MENTION HOW I WAS ALONE.

In short: it was amazing.

I HAVE ALSO JUST GOTTEN INTO DOCTOR WHO, RO! I watched all of 11 first, and then last night I watched Blink (Ten) and The Empty Child (Nine), because sorrynotsorry and I decided to watch the creepy Moffat episodes. And like...I think because I started with Eleven I probably imprinted on him a little bit? But I lovoooove Ten, and I like Nine a lot, but there is something about Christopher Eccleston--not his portrayal of the Doctor, but, like, him--that makes me a little uncomfortable? Like, I keep expecting him to turn out to be a villain all the damn time. I think he acts the role well! He himself just makes me nervous.

BASICALLY, DOCTOR WHO IS AWESOME

YAY, WE ARE NEW TOGETHER. People are all saying that you never forget your first Doctor, which I suppose is great and all, but Eleven is who really clicked with me. I mean, I can look at Nine and like him because he's this really sad guy with the weight of his past on his shoulders and he's just so lonely but covering it up with this abrupt sort of humor and I feel for him, I do, but yes, there's something a little discomfiting about him. I don't know if I expect him to be a villain or anything, but if he were to betray his friends, I would not be altogether surprised.

WELL AND CAN I SAY THAT IT IS TOTALLY APPROPRIATE THAT YOU SHOULD FEEL THAT WAY? Because if I can get a little backstoryish here, the Doctor you see in Nine is the one DIRECTLY AFTER he puts the Time War in a time lock. So, Nine is the doctor that has, in a sense, just committed genocide. Twice. So. He's supposed to come off a little unhinged. 'Cause, wouldn't you be :P
