Give me a fandom and I'll tell you:

The character I least understand
Interactions I enjoyed the most
The character who scares me the most
The character who is mostly like me
Hottest looks character
One thing I dislike about my fave character
One thing I like about my hated character
A quote or scene that haunts me
A death that left me indifferent
A character I wish died but didn’t
My ship that never sailed

I'm curious what I'll think of River once knowing everything, too! We're obviously not getting her story all in the right order. :-)

No, me neither, not even the ones you mention.

I'm such a scaredy cat. :-D And yet the show rarely actually scares me, so yeah.

Yeah, and I'd dislike it a lot less - in fact, probably wouldn't dislike it at all - if I didn't get the impression, way too often, that the show wants me to agree with him when I don't.

I still haven't forgiven Ten for Harriet Jones, or the show for not making him at least admit to being wrong.

I know what you mean! I hate it when the show won't admit he's being hypocritical or annoying. It makes more sense when it is a point that he has a flaw, rather than the show being as self-righteous as he is. I didn't like what Ten did to Harriet Jones either, but if the show had made him admit he wasn't right or someone had properly called him on it, it would have been okay as a character point. The show is also contradicting itself there: first she's supposed to be the architect of Britain's Golden Age, then soon after she's elected the Doctor helps get rid of her.

That was pretty much my reaction, too, so I hope you're ready for still being in that place ten years later. *g*


I look forward to it! *g* I hope someone's still there with me at that point.

Moffat does it more than RTD, too,

Yeah, I've noticed an increase in that since I started watching Moffat era, as well as a tendency for Moffat's episodes in RTD era to do that. And yes, I bet the intended effect isn't for you to get happy whenever someone dies and stays dead. :-D

Exactly! That's what I mean! There are characters I love who have much worse flaws than this, but I don't find them frustrating because the narrative acknowledges them as flaws. With the Doctor, the show sometimes does, but then sometimes it doesn't, and it's really annoying.
