Misc Doctor Who Thoughts
Spoilers up to the mid season break of Season 6.
I have written Amy/River and I regret nothing. Not that I have any intention of writing more.
Also: interspecies time travelling crossdressing Victorian lesbians with swords who fight crime. It's like they were written just for me :D (well, ok, if they were I wouldn't be skeeved by the class dynamic, but I'm not going to complain too hard) They seem to have captured other people's imaginations too, so there may be fic, huzzah!
Anyway, in non femslash related responses: I quite liked it. I predicted that River was Amy and Rory's daughter the moment the little girl appeared at the start of the season, but it was still nice to see it play out. Didn't predict the baby was Flesh D: It's amusing to imagine River pointedly flirting with the Doctor in front of them and thinking "Lol, if you had any idea", and it does give a very different interpretation to the bond between them all that had seemed kind of shippy.
Eleventh Hour: most adorable meeting the Mother-in-Law moment ever.
We need more boys/men pining after the doctor (and then maybe kissing him), if we must have people doing that (and must we?). RTD gave us Jack but the closest I remember from Moffat was that Scrooge guy in the Christmas Special, and he was mostly busy pining after the girl.
The Sontaran nurse <3
Oh look another scary militaristic black guy getting humiliated :/
Gay couple: adorable. Killing one half of adorable gay couple minutes after introduction: less adorable. (I have this thing in my head any time a gay or black character is introduced where I think "let's see if they die first". And usually they do! I guess the scary militaristic black guy lived, woo)
I'm curious to know where the Doctor's arc is going after River's little speech about the way he's changed.
As an ex-Anglican I find the whole Anglican army thing kind of amusing for reasons I can't quite articulate. I like their moral ambiguity, too.
Since I didn't say anything at the time: I really didn't like in the Flesh episodes how there was a fairly clear equation made between "worthy of being saved/able to be redeemed" and "effectively human". The girl remembering being oppressed was what made her a evil murderous Thing. Still, unlike the Ood's introduction at least the Flesh got a bit of agency, and unlike "The Cold Earth" it didn't quite go to the same creepy "vicious ladies causing all the trouble" place I was expecting at the start.
Still, overall, quite liked the season so far, and am looking forward to the next half.
