What else is on? Not about DW S4 at all!

So...I'm trying to think about the new fall season of TV...and if I will be watching much of it. I am looking forward to Chuck and House this coming year. I think both shows have really good places to go with the set-up from last year. I'm guardedly looking forward to Heroes...because the ads look good and because we have been assured that the producers learned their lesson over meddling with a winning format. I hope this time they will be back to quality over quantity. Certainly, they seem to have a good idea...and I did like that dark haired Claire and scarred Peter scene. I'm not getting jazzed up about it...I'm just saying I liked it.

The big question for me is The Fringe. Do I want to walk down that lonely J.J. Abrams road again? Does he have a plan? Really? I don't think he does. I really don't mind stories with no plan...like Chuck or Monk or Psyche...but I hate when they PRETEND to have a plan and don't have one.

*nods* Like The X-Files.

I learned my lesson about JJ from Alias and Lost. I won't be tuning into Fringe because I know I'll just end up getting annoyed when the writing gets lost. That happened in every single of his other shows, this will likely be no different.

Chuck's a fun show to watch. As for Heroes, I have to decide if I want to watch it next season.

Don't watch too much TV aside from stuff on Discovery and the History Channel. I mostly just download all my TV viewing pleasures. Speaking of which, I've retreated back into Anime. At least plot there makes sense (most of the time), or at least they are pretty clear emotionally. And it doesn't leave me in the lurch, like most live action TV shows I can think of.

I'm so sad to see people just giving up on TV...and yet...after what happened on DW...I can see why. I'm thinking there is no way I'm going to commit any time or energy to a fandom again.

wanting to write fluffy fic to make myself feel better...but getting upset every time I try.

[princessblue791.livejournal.com]

Yeah but you have to think, "this doesn't exsist in my world. I just pretend RTD is just another fic writer.

I am trying to have fun with it again. If I let RTD get me down then everyone else in the world can be an enemy. You can't give them that power. Thats why I haven't left the fandom just yet. I wanna have fun and I don't want anyone to have that control over me.

BTW Moffat just announced that he's turning down his project with Steven Spielburg to work on DW. Sounds like someone wants to fix this mess. The Doctor's relationships on his eppies were alot more romantic than ones in RTDs.He couldn't take it further because Rusty was in charge. I have this feeling he may surprise us.He'll have to, the show depends on it and from the look of things, he knows it.Rusty is leaving the Torchwood characters in his care, I wonder who else?

I actually do think Moffat can save the show...if it goes as I foresee it going. Moffat has a grand old time in his episodes...and his Doctor is good as a "brand new man". But if Moffat is left with this mess...all he can do is make the Doctor happy again...via substitutes. And I'm afraid I will find that forced...especially if it is this Ten we have.

I don't think this 10 is a well man at all...and I can see that what they can do is give him Jenny and River and his people and he goes on...but I don't go with that scenario...at least not for a few more years.

So not with Moffat. But...if I am right...and we are going to send 10 off in that human body...then Moffat has 11 (10.2) to mold into a healthy man...THAT I believe and will happily watch.

In short be happy. Life has so much to offer.Can't believe I just said that. See what you've done? lol

[rabid1st.livejournal.com]

I am happy. I don't want you to think Doctor Who going wrong ruined my life. I think it has gone wrong...that's all. And I was very, very upset that someone I admired would do something so very off-kilter and not to purpose. I don't suppose I am upset that other people don't see the wrongness in this...because I had to deal with everyone telling me...

1) That Rose was imagining she was special in School Reunion but she wasn't and he would leave her on the side of the road one day.
2) That Rose was pressuring the Doctor into domestic life in The Impossible Planet and NOW he was going to teach her a lesson.
3) That Rose was horrible for the Doctor because she made him so "un-Doctor" like...or, as I like to call it, happy!
4) That Rose was finally gone in Doomsday and good riddence...we will never be seeing her again.
5) That Martha was the new companion and so we should just let go of Rose now and there was no way that Rose was going to be mentioned beyond the first episode.
6) That the Doctor obviously DID love Martha now and that Rose was just one in a long string of women that he loved.
7) That Donna was here and now the Doctor was healed and no longer lonely and now he could go happily on.

And now...8) That this is the right and proper ending for this story and that Rose has what she wanted or she has someone to take care of or she is finally settled in her new world and we won't be hearing from her again.

They are saying that THIS is where the entire story was going all along...and I don't buy it. I just don't. Because the Doctor is still unhappy and alone...and he is only having that life he always wanted by proxy. And Rose can't possibly believe he is fine now.

And then I met a fan that said the Doctor had a homoerotic affair with the Master and the one we saw picking up the ring was the Doctor as a woman. Yeah...fans are funny.

The ending is wrong and it can be fixed in the specials or Moffat can do what he's always done and flip off the BBC and RTD, giving us the right ending.

RTD always made it known that the Doctor loved Rose. However, remember when you said Moffat didn't understand RTD's Doctor, I think this is what he didn't understand. Why can't the Doctor have his Rose? It would explain why he wasn't allowed to touch the D/R saga. He even had a Rose wannabe (Reinette) where the Doctor almost threw everything down to stay with her. Moffat was ready to work with Spielburg. In fact it was all he talked about, but I think this ending had him rolling up his sleeves thinking "I guess I have to save the day".Spielburg didn't fight it, Moffat said "he understood the situation" and that he was a big fan too. Maybe Master Spielburg threw in his own opinion. Spielburg loves his movies to end happily.

But if you want something else, Scrubs is one of my faves. JD has a rough life but he still is a happy guy regardless. Kind of the whole Ferris Buller factor.

*strokes your fluffy head*

I hope you find a new show you can love.

I'll definitely be watching Chuck and House and Heroes, and I'll be checking out Fringe. The previews are interesting anyway, and if it doesn't go anywhere I like, I have plenty of other addictions to keep me happy. =)
