OMG another season 21 fan! So many people are always complaining about "ugh, it's so depressing, so hopeless, it never gets better, etc" and I never seem to find anyone to talk about how cool all those things they complain about were. I think one of my favorite things about the Classic Series (though tbh, I have a lot of favorite things) is the entire trajectory of Five and Tegan's arcs and how they just kind of crack and just shatter apart from each other out of the sheer repetitive stress of what happens to them. Their goodbye just kills me every time I watch it.

I jumped around so much when first watching both Classic Who and New Who that the Doctors and the eras are always kind of side by side in my mind and I'm constantly looking for similarities and differences and progression and stuff. I didn't pick up that bit from The Awakening -- that's a good point. Hmm, now you're making think about Five's increasing tendency to lose interest and get stressed out over little things over the course of his run...need to watch out for that next time I rewatch.

And oh, I don't blame the Doctor for letting the Master die one bit, because yeah, you're right. I was thinking more about what his attitude towards the Master's death seemed to imply about him. It was so weird. It wasn't even cold and ruthless and scary like...Seven blowing up Davros and Skaro, or Ten slaughtering the Racnoss babies. It was like he was going "Huh. Oh. That happened. That's...that's a good thing. I don't need to stop that." Like he couldn't even summon up the energy to react because he was too burnt out and tired, or something.

I adore New Who (and it gave me a whole new wonderful layer of appreciation for Old Who), but I think my biggest complaint about it is that both Davies and Moffat don't really seem to know when to quit. Ten angsting over Rose? Great, makes sense, but did it have to go on for a whole season? Eleven's whole "everyone's scared of you!" arc. Great, makes sense, but did it have to be retreaded that many times? I think dwelling on the same stuff too much kind of limits the range of ideas that can be explored.

all this Dr. Who meta is delicious.
