An unreasonable amount of emotions about media franchises

[lizbee]

• Monday morning: the new Doctor Who companions are announced; I am moderately excited. 
• Monday night: Discovery Night, aka the only thing that makes Mondays worthwhile, aka I Accidentally Fell In Love With Admiral Kat Cornwell And Now The Show Mocks Me, aka How Does Jason Isaacs Manage To Be So Interesting When He Really Shouldn't Be?
• Tuesday morning: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is announced for Melbourne in 2019.

I've had four really big fandoms in my life. Three are currently active, and I'm really not sure I have enough room in my body to contain this much enthusiasm. If anything major happens in Avatar fandom this week, I might actually explode. 

(I quickly double-checked, just in case, but no Turf Wars previews have appeared while I was distracted.)

I'm tentatively excited for Nu Who companions, though I still don't enjoy that one is a middle aged white guy because of the tendency of middle aged white male writers to overly identify. But the younger ones, yes!

Yeah, I hope he's the Duggan type. But I did just read a nice column from a guy lamenting that his son has so few depictions of men, especially older men, being subordinate to women, and his gratitude that now we have a new one. And that warmed my black heart.

Now that I would approve of!
