Doctor Who ramblings

cloudyheartsyou: (pic#)
 So, I'm well into season 5 now, almost done. And for some reason I can't really gel with the Doctor and Amy Pond. Separately I really like Amy's character - I think she's fun, but with the Doctor I don't feel like there's a tremendous amount of chemistry there. Maybe because I miss the tenth Doctor? Maybe I miss Rose and Donna? I was wondering but then it clicked, I think I just prefer Amy and the Doctor to be friends from the get go, sort of like a Doctor/Donna friendship, what with him taking an 'imaginary friend' role when she was little (and them meeting when she was little, too.) I found her liking him to be a bit forced (and her trying it on with him to be, well, a bit random!) So it hasn't really gelled with me that she likes the Doctor in a romantic way and would rather him over Rory - I think it would've been so much better if they were friends from the beginning, but alas. I've reached a point now where Rory has 'died' and so the dynamic between Amy and the Doctor is better and more friendly and it's good. I will meet Clara soon, and I've seen a lot of people say this Doctor and Clara have absolutely zero chemistry, so we will see. 

I feel like the stories aren't hitting the same as previous series, but I know there was a change of writers, so? That being said, The Van Gogh episode was brilliant, probably my fave from the series and yes, I did cry! I thoroughly enjoyed it. It'll be an episode I will think about for a long time.

Anyway, I'm really enjoying watching so far. I've never seen any DW before, so excuse me if my ramblings make no sense or are wrong, just my thoughts as a first timer through the new Who series. I'm looking forward to working my way through, and I hope to start S6 today and make a fair dent in that.

In other news, still sleepy from the sertraline and still waiting for a GP app to discuss it. I've been given an extension on my second assignment so will start that on Monday. (I would start it over the weekend but A is coming over Saturday to watch the Royal Rumble and I know they won't leave until later on Sunday.) Looking forward to that and watching CM Punk wrestle as well, I think we're going to try our hands at making breakfast sandwiches - think sausage, egg, bacon, hashbrowns... Ah!

Today I might do some journaling, catch up with this weeks Pobol y Cwm and do some tidying up - I made a little list. I'm fighting the urge not to sleep really hard!

Until next time!
