I was kinda in two minds about this, but…

…I thought we should have a Doctor Who Fandom Friending Frenzy (as the HP and SW fandoms have done in the past). Cos I love this fandom. It’s just small enough, and friendly.

And then I thought, okay, if you think there should be one, make one…

…so I did.

OH MY GOD THAT WAS FANTASTIC.

I AM IN LOVE WITH TEN NOW. AND I CAN’T STOP TALKING IN ALL CAPITALS.

That last speech at the end (see subject) ownz all television ever. It was brilliant. I think I cheered.

And ‘More to do than can ever be done!…sorry, that was The Lion King.’ was brilliant.

Mickey! My man. I saw him in that last preview and I *think* he was inside the TARDIS, at a wheel- was he driving it? (sort-of-spoiler now- look away if you don’t want to know) Doesn’t he end up going with them? I’ve seen spoilers that seem to say so. The first episode of the next series could so easily begin with Rose and the Doctor about to leave, and one of them asking Mickey to come. I hope so!

I feel rather sorry for Harriet Jones. I mean, she fired on an unprepared aline ship, but- they’d killed two people in front of her, and she had just gone through a hugely tramatic experience. And the Doctor and Rose wiped out the Daleks, so surely…

Well, nevermind. I don’t mind at all that the plot went that way, but I couldn’t help thinking that the writers were using Harriet to make a point there, and they could have made her character go any number of different ways.

And now, self-centered-ness about fanfic which you may of course skip:

Turn of the Earth is still safe! It remains unRusseled. And two minor things that caught my interest: Mickey works in a car shop and Jackie was (I think) on the phone to someone called Beth. And in TotE, Mickey works in a car shop and Jackie knew someone called Beth!

(A TotE ‘sequel’ may well turn up- what Trisha, Shireen and Maggie were doing during TCI)

And lastly: SQUEEEEEE!
