*has seen it*

And... I think I loved it. Not nearly so much as School Reunion, which was awesome, but I really did like it a lot.

More later.

Also, it seems it has caused the fandom to go into meltdown - which just makes me like it even more.

(I have come to the conclusion that I am very contrary. I like characters that get a lot of bashing - Mickey, Jackie, even Adam to an extent. I defend Rose amongst old-schoolers, but when I come across n00bs fangirling her, I can't stand her. I am rather fond of Six's coat. And an episode that gets the fandom into uber-wank automatically gets put up a few notches.

I have no idea what this is saying about me, really.)

Oh, I'm going to need some new icons...

My reaction to this week was actually kind of 'meh' - and I've liked every episode of the new series so far. At first, it seemed that everyone just loved it - the Asexualists were mostly content to say that -Hey, at least he's kissing someone with class and not that FILTHY CHAV WHORE: and now she ded. While the madshippers see it as a shiny opportunity for comfort!sex, I imagine, though they are a little upset about him abandoning Rose for that FILTHY FRENCH WHORE.

The only really negative reactions I've seen to it personally were on the TWoP boards.... though it's mixed with people filled with squee.
Are you going to be putting this stuff on F_W?

I've just finished watching it for a second time, and I think my opinion of it has actually gone quite up a bit. It didn't make me cry like last week, but it still came awfully close. And it was so beautiful, and shallow thing that I am, that really does work for me. This has nothing to do whatsoever with the fact that back when I did ballet, my favourite ever costume was in that exact style

But I was shocked at how overt the hate was at TWOP. I can understand the few at the OG that are like that, because you get a lot of asexualists, and new series haters, but TWOP is overwhelmingly positive. Perhaps it is all the extreme Rose!love they have at that forum. (Note: Rose = not my fave character. But I liked her a lot more this week than the past few)
