overslept this morning, am still a little muddled

1.) I am thisclose to renouncing Being Human, since this season in general and the last episode in particular have been doing a great job at destroying everything I liked about it in the first place. All the warmth and humour seems to have evaporated somewhere along the line. Also although I don't have an official list of thing that will make me dislike a character I had previously been fond of, if I did, I am pretty sure that slaughtering a trainful of innocent people and then popping home for a spot of sexual harrassment would be on it.
2.) I watched the new Doctor Who trailer, was v. exciting and Amy has a pretty voice, but I judge it a bit for not having actual scenes, which is what I want in a trailer. Also am not entirely sold yet on Matt Smith, I am sure he will be fine but I am still stuck on what a boring casting decision it was. "We can pick anyone in the WHOLE WORLD to replace this skinny white guy. I KNOW, how about a YOUNGER skinny white guy! Because we hardly ever see people like that on the tellybox!" I will probably get over this eventually.
3.) OH and re. the most recent episode of The Three Companions, did I really hear Polly say that she had a ministry to run? If so, squee! and also details, please?

Date: 22 Feb 2010 15:56 (UTC)He does, and I'm looking forward to that, as I am not exactly a fan of Ten. I'm sure he'll be fine, I'm just a little sad about what we could have had, you know?

Date: 22 Feb 2010 11:47 (UTC)The trailer was a *great* cinema advert. As a trailer, not so much! Personally I'm still bitter Donna's not the Doctor (or Martha, or Bill Nighy - I'd have settled for any one of them!)
Never seen BH and have no inclination to, I confess...

Yeah, I imagine it would have been better in the cinema. Oh well!

Date: 22 Feb 2010 16:16 (UTC)Yeah - I'm sure it would've looked *awesome* on a big screen.

Date: 22 Feb 2010 12:25 (UTC)That said, I don't see the trailer as a trailer - that's a TV ad. BBC Prime used to show a similarly-styled ad with Chris Eccleston and Billy Piper when they started repeating the first series, so it's nothing new.
(As for Polly, I'm squeeing about the news you've given me, as they make BF canon fit even more nicely with my own personal canon.)

Date: 22 Feb 2010 15:48 (UTC)but I guess I can settle with a guy who decided his Doctor was to wear a bowtie after watching (and flailing over) Tomb of the Cybermen.
That's awesome! I think at the moment I like Matt Smith the person but am yet to be yay about him as the Doctor, if you see what I mean?
I don't see the trailer as a trailer - that's a TV ad.
True. But I wanted scenes, preferably out of context so we could spend the next six weeks misinterpreting them to our hearts' content. ;)
I may have misheard the Polly bit, but I hope not! What is your personal Polly-canon?

Oh yes, I understand perfectly. I have to say, though, that I loved him the moment the regeneration occurred, even if he was still in Ten mode. Let's hope I'll still feel like this once his personality sets...
What is your personal Polly-canon?
Well, in my girl!Doctor fics it's implied that, by 1975, Polly has a big position in the Ministry of Defense - from that to becoming Minister herself would just be a matter of time. (I also made her and Ben the adoptive parents of SJA's Alan Jackson, if only because my fangirlish heart wants her and Maria to be related, but that's another story.)

Date: 22 Feb 2010 20:58 (UTC)I haven't seen End of Time, so I've yet to see Matt Smith in action (apart from trailers). I'm looking forward to it!
Ooo, I like that. Especially her and Ben being Maria's grandparents! *adopts this also*

Polly! That is so cool!

Date: 22 Feb 2010 15:50 (UTC)I really hope I didn't mishear! That would be amazing.
(But oh, I too wish we could have Bill Nighy.)
Bill Nighy would have been great. I'd really like Tamsin Grieg too, or Alexander Siddig, not least because Alexander Siddig should be on my TV more than he is.
