schmericaSo, uh, I actually did enjoy the Who finale. There were pretty people! Witty banter! Things went boom! There was a mixture of awesomely cheesy and cheesily awesome! Those are basically the things I'm watching for in any given Doctor Who thing, anyway. And Martha Jones is pretty much the awesomest character ever, so there's that. (omigod MARTHA. HEART.)
What's really interesting is I don't think I've seen fannish majority opinion go from EEEEEEE AWESOME EXCITEMENT to OMG WTF BETRAYED!!! this fast since the season 1 Veronica Mars finale. What makes that really funny, of course, is that in that case I was one of the people on the other side: I saw "a Trip to the Dentist" and was so excited for the finale, the pinnacle of the awesome, that I could hardly STAND it -- and then "Leave it to Beaver" was on, and it was so just wrong and awful and like a big bag of crap, and ugh. So, uh, I totally understand how people are feeling about this episode from that side, but it's weird being the person who watched it and enjoyed it all "la-di-da!" and drifted onto the internet all unknowingly to find out.
