Very random Doctor Who S5 comments

I'm too tired to make a proper post, but I just wanted to say that I love the Eleventh Doctor. Love love love him.

And Amy. And Rory, too. Also, I want to make Amy's scarf from The Vampires of Venice, but that's going to be way beyond my knitting skills for quite a while yet, even if I actually start practicing like I've meant to. I mean, I haven't even got around to successfully knitting leg warmers yet. But maybe knitting a lace scarf would be easier? My craft skills are kind of weird like that, it might help as long as I only need to handle two needles. I can crochet lace things just fine, but I have a feeling that one's going to be better if you knit it.

Yeah, I'd like to say more about S5 than just start talking about knitting, but well, it's late.

But it's a pity that from what I know, Jack and Eleven never meet on screen, because it would be grand. And fun. And lots of cheekiness all around.

It took surprisingly little for me. The first couple of episodes he seemed distractingly young, but then I feel he's started to get the hang of how to give the impression of all that age and time behind him even as he looks young. And he has so much fun, and I enjoy how he and Amy (and Rory) work together. I've been watching a lot of Ten the past two years, since I rewatched almost everything after finishing his era, and no matter how I love him, I was quite ready to see a different take on the Doctor, and I really like how Eleven is so far.

That's all very true.
And I really do love the whole dynamic with Amy and Rory. They all just fit together.
