Tate is 3 years older than Tennant. SHE IS NOT AN OLD LADY. Calm down, or get mad at Lizbee, because this was NOT said. This was just Lizbee's way of expressing the implication that some of the panellists made that they liked Donna because she wasn't a love-interest. NOBODY said that Donna was an old lady. Okay?
stabs everyone who thinks River is in any way less than totally fucking awesome, and shaggadelic Ouch! (dabs at the blood pouring out of my metaphorical chest)
I think she is in some way "less than totally fucking awesome", sorry. She has had her awesome moments, and then she spoils it by being smug. I hate it when she's being smug, especially when the reason is not that she has actually done something awesome at that point, but because, due to an accident of time travel, she knows things that the Doctor doesn't know yet. It feels like un-earned smugness to me, and it is really annoying. Whereas when she does things like threaten a Dalek, or escape from prison, or steal paintings, that's stuff that she's actually done, and she's demonstrating awesomeness at that point.
And I hate the idea that she's the Doctor's wife, because I hate it when a female character is just there to be a love-interest for the male lead. Hisss.
did anyone discuss the way that the season was a metatextual loveletter... These are awesome points, I wish you'd been there to bring them up, because the panel did not discuss the "Fairytale" aspect of Season 5 in any way whatsoever. (big frown)
no subject
