Actually, I haven't watched it yet. I haven't even downloaded it yet. But I've been so nervous about this one that I've been reading all the reaction posts on my flist so far to see if I even want to watch it, and you know, I'm not sure that I do.

Well, I'm sure I'll watch it at some point, but I think that will be when the last of the specials are out, so I can just finish up everything at once. Right now after reading the spoilers I'm at the stage of "I don't even want to think about this", but I think if I watch the episode I'll be twitchy until the end.

God, I am SO TIRED of this. RTD is a brilliant storyteller, and serious kudos to him for being able to make us care this much about the story, but dear god does he not know how to give the characters a break? The tension is killing the Doctor, and it's been wringing me out to the point where I think I'd be done with the show even if Moffat weren't taking over. The best shows are the ones that evoke true emotion, but emotion is just plain tiring to sustain.

Jesus Christ on a cracker. I'm going to go watch The Idiot's Lantern and Fear Her. Damn, I miss The Doctor and Rose Show.

Good God that is exactly what I thought. the Doctor and Rose! Where is the happiness?

But I do love the angst!

I also love the angst, but in moderation. It just gets numbing after a while. *sigh*

I thought of you this evening - one of the German girls in this queer group I go to friended me on Facebook and saw that I had "Doctor Who" and "Torchwood" listed on my favorite TV shows section, so we chatted about the shows. It took me forever to recognize the titles of the shows when said with a German accent!

And I just watched the latest episode, and while I still don't completely understand all the ways you relate to the show, it struck me as the kind of episode during which you might be drinking. :)

Hee, now you've seen the episode before I have! :p But your words do not bode well. Damn. I think I'm going to get my heart broken come Christmas.
