because I had to:

I never thought...

I'd be one of those people who hated 'new' stuff and prefered the old. I really didn't.

But I'm consistently finding myself completely unimpressed with the new Who, and wondering if I'm just missing the boat or something.

Kris marathonned me through Dalek a few weeks back, and while I still like Rose, and Unquiet Dead was amusing, I just... Wasn't all that impressed with the rest of it. Oh, there were bits I liked (MP for Flydale North), but I spent most of it feeling a bit bored and thinking that even Farscape's Jeremiah Crichton was better.

It was exacerbated by watching Aliens of London, World War Three and Dalek again at Squeecon. Right after I'd re-read Paul Cornell's No Future. Dalek is painful and over-blown and made me roll my eyes. A lot.

Old Who made me roll my eyes a lot, too. But oddly enough, things like The Silurians still have charm. Whereas Dalek et al feel pointless.

sigh. And I really want to like the new Who.

Btw, No Future still has three or four plot-threads never resolved. But, damn, if it didn't make me happy.

sleepy

At least my jaw has stopped aching. sigh.

yay for antibiotics.

my nails are long again. this is vaguely irritating.

oh, and Kara is apparently Ace now. I think I'm going to start calling Zak Jan.

I didn't think I could love Jane Tennison more. But she makes grown men cry.
