Review (of sorts): Listen

[ed_rex]

Listen (to me!)

I feel unesay.

Not because posting my inchoate, exhausted and half-drunk reactions to my first-watch of "Listen" makes me feel like an obsessive fan desperate to share his thoughts with all and sundry — although, clearly, that's what I am — but because I distrust the first reactions I so desperately want to share.

Yet here I am. Sharing my feelings instead of my thoughts, my knee's jerks rather than my practiced dance steps.

Steven Moffat has written an episode of Doctor Who that, on first viewing, I enjoyed quite a lot. I liked it. But — or should that be and so ...? — I feel uneasy. I am afraid of what judgement sober second thought may call down upon my first reactions.

So for now and for the record, those who care to read can find those first reactions here.

I liked it; what did you think? And do you think you're opinion will change when (if) you watch it again?

what did you think?

I liked it mostly. Also it seems like Twelve is less cold/mean in the ones written by Moffat himself? I dunno if I'm just reading too much into that though, but it'd be nice if he's not meant to be a complete bastard all the time. I feel kind of bad that I still miss Eleven, I'm supposed to have forgotten he ever existed by now.

Never forget!

I still miss Nine, and Four and I'm learning to miss Two and Three as well. (Maybe Seven also, but Ace kinda stole the show for me in those years.)

As for Twelve, I think it's too early to tell just how he's going to shake out. It's my hope he sticks around for a few years, and that Moffat's gone by the end of this one.

I used to hope for a year of Tennant without RTD, but it never happened ;__;
