beccaelizabethHave now rewatched all but one episode from last season of Doctor Who.
I still hate the one where he says to not give a little girl her meds. I know what the message was supposed to be, about listening to little kids, but what they actually did was have the Doctor tell kids not to take their meds. That's actual evil and I can't be having with it at all.
Also they reached new depths of departure from teh whole 'science' idea, and I say that having watched Classic stories.
But it had some nice lines, and that bit at the end "One person is more amazing, harder to understand, but more amazing than universes." I liked that.
So on rewatch I'm not all wound up and fed up of it, I'm just kind of nothingy. Which is, like, progress.
Also Missy is a delight as long as I can ignore the heavily gendered aspects of her. I mean, I know the Master goes all in when he goes into a persona, so Missy of course would play with the new possibilities, but that... that's just an excuse for this particular set of tropes being used by writers who think that 'suddenly feminine' necessarily means concerned with sexy and kissing.
... I cannot ignore the gendered stuff. But Missy is concurrently fun.
The race and gender stuff is still there, but knowing exactly what it does, I'm better at filtering it out.
I just would rather not have to filter so much of my favourite shows.
