You know what?

As of this second, I am sick to fucking death of the S3 angst. This fun little quirky Doctor Who show I started watching a couple of years ago? It's not fun anymore. It's not quirky anymore. It's episode after episode of despondency, coupled with the underside of human nature. I haven't even been in the mood to watch old Who lately.

RTD said something like this series was about hope? Bullshit. Every instance of hope has been instantly snubbed out.

And the Doctor actually turning that corner into sadism in this last episode? This is no longer a show about a character fighting his inner demons. He's given in.

Man, I don't know if you and I should be communicating right now, because we seem to be feeding on each other's depression. I mean:

I agree; there is no light at the end of the tunnel. I fail to see what's left for the Doctor but trudging on, doing his duty.

For all that I dislike Doctor-lite episodes, I'm really hoping that this week's will turn out to be an "up" episode. ... except that it looks more like a horror film, based on the preview, and I don't like horror films. *sigh*

It's probably just as bad as when we were freaking out over spoilers before the series started. "OMG! HE'S IN BED WITH MARTHA?!!" Mwah.

And back with the Gridlock Confidential, didn't RTD say that the answer to Boe's secret would be "devastating?" Sweet Jesus.

I'm not one for horror films myself, but DW only does the G-rated variety and I'm hoping for some creepy fun. But at the very least, IT WILL NOT HAVE ANGST. omg.

Urm, totally not on the topic here, but did you delete your post with your 400 words of head-in-lap fic? I was just gonna read it now that I finished typing mine! *pouts*

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2007-06-05 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Um...I did. Heh. Was feeling a bit squiffy about it and then I went into a tailspin of S3 angst rage...

I'm neurotic. It's still there. *puts back*

Awww...*pushes you in the direction of my ficlet* :D

[identity profile] beck-liz.livejournal.com 2007-06-05 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I was wondering about that, too. *pets* It's really OK to leave it out by its lonesome, you know. :-)

Oh dear. I think your frustration with work and your frustration with DW is leading to NO GOOD. L(

Starbucks break, maybe?

OMG. You may just freak her out with the naked and the chibi. *snerk*

Eeep! My smiley face is disturbed! It's like abstract!smiley! I can't figure out which smiley to use in response to abstract!smiley. Maybe :d?

What I did on my way home from work just now:
1. Bought chips.
2. Bought a magazine with a Stephen Colbert articles.
3. Bought a trashy romance novel.
4. Bought a Lindt Intense Orange Dark Chocolate Bar.

I'm thinking you should do something similar. *smooch*

Just remember, naked chibis are more scared of you than you are of them.

Oh, you have no idea how weird, and melodramatic, I get.

*rages against S3*

"You know what, Rose is better off in the AU! Stay the hell away from the Doctor, Rose!"

*takes fic out of filter*

Please, oh please, great RTD and Moffat, PLEASE don't let it have angst, I beg of you. *whimper*

You know, it's different with BSG; I can (mostly) take the angst there. But I think it's because the modern BSG wouldn't be the same show at all without loads and loads of angst. Doctor Who, on the other hand.... *sigh*

I'm not sure about that. *eyes*

Fine, he'll put something on and unleash THE EYES!

[livejournal.com profile] poohmusings has suggested Starbucks. I just might need to do that. And a cookie. Yes. *smooch*

That's it! She needs to read all the chibi!fics.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2007-06-05 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I might need to. I am filled with loathing. I have deleted fics. (Well, sorta.) And we all know it's bad when I start deleting things.

[identity profile] misssara11.livejournal.com 2007-06-05 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
This is most true. How can anyone be sad when there are chibis a foot!

*snerk* You know, at this point, I really don't know what Rose would do if she encountered this Doctor. I mean, obviously she'd still love him. But how the hell would she deal with him, beyond hugging him for a month straight, I mean?

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2007-06-05 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
ACK! *tries to stay very, very calm*
