mrv3000 | I'm posty today!

So someone pointed me to one of those fannish "secrets" this weekend. (Don't remember if it was on the main site or the Who site.) Basically it boiled down to the person hoping that all the Doctor/Rose fans who say they're leaving actually stay and watch S5. Because of the schadenfreude.

This had me blinking a lot. Maybe I don't run in the right D/R circles, but no one I've seen cares a lick about Doctor/Rose in S5. At best it'll be ignored on the new show, and at worst the Doctor will talk about that chav whore he used to run around with, and then proceed to shag the universe.

And...I sort of don't even care if it's the latter. Let Eleven be the slutboi alien tease half of fandom wants him to be. *shrugs* It makes no difference to my ship. Like, seriously.

I'm not sure why the original secret maker would think that D/R shippers would be emotionally invested in S5 one way or another. We've all either headed off to the altverse, or have said fairwell to the ship. So while there will probably be plenty of D/R shippers who watch S5, I doubt there will be a lot of hand-wringing in the D/R sense when Eleven snogs Amy/River/guest-of-the-week. It really doesn't mess with D/R. *pats the altverse*
