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?

When Tennant's departure was announced, I made a macro (http://nentari.livejournal.com/673766.html) and matching icons (http://nentari.livejournal.com/676515.html) with "Frazer Hines for Eleven" - that's how into it I was. :P

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?
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.)
