I thought that I had reached the pinnacle of my WTF as I worked my way through, but then I read this:
Why can't River have a hilarious old lady sexuality like Donna
...and now I am blind with rage.
Tate is 3 years older than Tennant. SHE IS NOT AN OLD LADY.
::stabs everyone::
::stabs everyone who thinks River is in any way less than totally fucking awesome, and shaggadelic::
...
...did anyone discuss the way that the season was a metatextual loveletter to the whole idea of bringing the show back in the first place? That Dr Who as a show, as well as a character, fell through a crack in the world and could only be brought back into the universe because of the loyalty and sheer bloody mindedness of the girl who waited Rusty and Moff and you and me and all the rest of the die-hard fans who never forgot about hiding behind the sofa from daleks and sonic screwdrivers and blue boxes that made weird noises? Did they touch on the ways (good and bad) that Amy maps onto fairytale figures, or the Little Red Riding Hood imagery in the Stone Angels episode? Amy as avatar of fandom, with her fanfic and fanart?
