windemere | Doctor Who: Thoughts So Far

When this series started I promised myself that the last thing I would do was ship Eleven/anyone. I swore it. I've even avoided fanfic, which usually leads to shipping.

I should have known Steven Moffat would ensure otherwise. Because about now I'm pretty much willing to ship him with anything. Even the ship. Maybe especially the ship. I think he coos to it. But Eleven/Amy? In a completely we-are-never-actually-going-to-hook-up-EVER way, I'm shipping with a grin on my face.

Pity about missing the Queen Elizabeth episode. Although, kids programme. ;)

You know what I love about this season? I mean, more than I love anything (everything) else? It's the fact that Steven Moffat can not only carry a seasonal story arch a lot more obviously than Russell, but Moffat goes out of his way to see that the little questions are answered. I like those, because they make writing fanfic so much more like canon.

The best one yet: He calls the TARDIS 'dear'.

Followed very closely by the latest from Vampires in Venice, that the sonic screwdriver (and I'm willing to admit, it's the new one, but, you know) can heal. And it still doesn't open dead lock seals. Pity; I'm sure that would come in handy in other episodes besides The Time of Angels.

I could write forever about the first 6 episodes, but what's the point? You don't want to read it. It sounds better in my head anyways.

I will says this: the first two minutes of Vampires of Venice was golden. Absolutely frakking fantastic. And I'm sorta partial to Rory now. It's nice to have the 'young ones' travelling in the TARDIS again. It's been - what? - 25 or 30 years since there were multiple people in their twenties the Doctor willingly invited on board. About that. It makes for a nice change. And a hell of a funny love triangle, since it really isn't a triangle. Except to Amy. Although next week might clinch that because it's obvious what her choice is going to be; we wouldn't have the rest of the season otherwise.
