Heartbreaking, but so worthwhile.

I love it when backstory becomes more meaningful.  I want to cry, looking at this photo.  Can't tell you the last time a *television show* made me feel that way.  Honestly.

I resisted Dr. Who, because…you know, if a show's been on the air 40 years and I'm not into it, it must not be for me.  But that was faulty thinking.  Obviously Douglas Adams wrote for the show way back when, and I'll give those episodes a chance eventually—but the current writing is just so good.  It's not without its problems.  I mean, they wrote themselves into a corner with the River Song plotline this season, and I wasn't satisfied with their resolution…but does it make me love River any less?  No.  Nor Amy, nor Rory, nor The Doctor.

This was my second season of being a Whovian, and I'm so hooked.  I am so in love with these characters, I cried when the Dr. dropped off Amy & Rory at a new townhouse before he went with his Stetson to Lake Silencio.  I bawled.  Was it meant to be that powerful of a moment?  I don't know.  Tim certainly looked at me like I was insane, but I couldn't help it.

I guess when it comes down to it, we're all traveling through time, desperately trying to right wrongs, do the right thing, and help one another, in some small fashion.  We may not be married to a flying police box or to our best friend's brainwashed psychopathic daughter, but there's a little bit of the jaded, wise, yet young-at-heart Doctor in each of us.

And if I have anything to say about it, from here on out there will be a lot more of River Song in me.

So, yeah.  Author photo soon.  I don't want you thinking of me as Alex Kingston forever (although she's truly beautiful).  I'm still getting called Sharon Osborne by blog pals from one *single* photo I posted eight years ago.
