I finished watching Life on Mars, finally. I am way behind on this, and I'm sure the fandom has sort of died and nobody is even interested in it anymore, but I still need to make a squee post. Just for me :D It's how I deal with overflowing excitment.

So, I've been watching LoM for months now. It's actually been ages since I took that long to finish a show. I usually just marathon it. But since this is the first show in forever that I could actually persuade my mother to watch with me, we had to go at a rate of about one a week.

I've actually heard people say they stopped watching because they thought it was too dark. Which...really? I mean, it's not exactly rainbows and butterflies, I admit there is a lot of violence and political incorectness, and some dark themes. But I genuinly see it as a very fun and funny show. Gene Hunt is just comedy gold, really. XD

I only have S1 on dvd, which sucks because I'm sure I'll want to rewatch it soonish. There are also practically no decent fanvids of this out there, so I have to survive on memory XD

Yes, I'm done rambling now. This was partly because I needed to squee and didn't have anyone to annoy with it, and partly because I don't feel like studying.

So, I watched WoM a second time, and listened to the commentary. And it's still just as depressing and scary. I was not in shock as much anymore, but I still spend the last 20 minutes going "oh no" and biting my nails.

( Cut because it was getting too long. Very slight WoM spoilers )

I have absolutely regained my love for DW. The last couple of months, I was becoming sort of indifferent to it. I'd found new fun shows, I didn't care what Moffat was doing, didn't care about DT leaving anymore (well I did care but just accepted it). The excitement was gone.
I just watched Sunday night out of loyalty,in a way. Because I still call myself a fan. But with this episode the squee is back, full-force.

And that means I'm really getting scared and sad, really, that RTD and DT are almost gone. And very anxious about S5 (No, SM, I will not call it Season 1), because while I want to give Moffat the benefit of the doubt and not judge everything he does because of one horrible episode (GitF if anyone was wondering), I do think that RTD's particular characterization and main plotlines are what make me love it.

I'm going to give it a fair chance, and I do believe Matt Smith could win me over. But I doubt it will be equal in my adoration to the show as RTD made it.
