Re: the wrist. Yeah, that's true, although one of my other complaints is that it just kinda came off as condescending because the guy has lost way too much and dealt with way too much horrible shit to need to be protected from hard truths like he's some fragile flower who can't deal with it or something. Her long-suffering attitude just bugged me.

Also, hi there new fan! I love seeing new fans :) Hope the nutzoid fandom doesn't turn you off -- it's like the little girl who had a little curl. How d'you like this silly crazy wonderful show so far?

Yeah, there's a lot about River's attitude in general and in that scene particularly that rubbed me the wrong way.

And thanks for the welcome! Well, I mainlined the entire seven seasons of New Who so far, so yes I loved them! I got really attached to Nine and then Ten, so it took me a while to warm up to Eleven, but I love all the Doctors I've seen so far. I haven't really gotten into Classic Who yet, mostly because the 26 seasons thing is sort of daunting and I wouldn't know where to begin. But I love what I've seen so far! The show is campy as anything but I love that it really makes you care and is also just a lot of fun.

I haven't gotten too involved in the fandom yet. It seems like most of the LJ comms are pretty quiet these days. I've found a few blogs to follow on Tumblr, but that's been about it. I haven't gotten too scared off by anyone yet, so that's good!

I'm glad you like it! I'm weirdly happy about this.

The fandom's generally easier to enjoy when you take everyone's opinions with a grain of salt, because it's all so very personal in this show, given how many different combinations of different characters there are to choose from, and people's tendency to complain about the combinations they don't connect with as much for being ~wrong. ;)

You don't need to worry about the Classic series unless you get genuinely curious about exploring it. Some old fans turn their nose up at new fans who haven't seen the old series, but even as an old fan myself I think that's silly because 1) it's loooooooong and 2) IMO the new series does a very good job of playing out so that the old series can work as extra backstory that adds more dimensions to the backstory mentioned in the new series, but doesn't really change the meaning of anything in the new series.
