purplecat: Drawing of the Thirteenth Doctor. (Who:Thirteen)
Everyone* seems to have liked this a lot more than I did. Marmalade Sparrow, in particular, who hasn't rated Chibnall Who at all, said she thought it surprisingly decent.

It was definitely a strong underlying idea. It managed to make the story feel like an "Event" (necessary for a New Year episode), while at the same time making a virtue of a small cast and side-stepping the issue faced so often by returning monsters that this time they have to be an even bigger threat because there are even more of them doing something even more evil than last time. All good.

Rest under the cut because spoilers )

Eh! It was fine and I may find on a rewatch that some things I'm complaining weren't there, actually were.

*OK three twitter posts and Marmalade Sparrow.
purplecat: Buffy from Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Buffy)
I had almost forgotten the meme! Almost, but not quite.

Q20: What fandom broke your heart?

Tricky one this one. Plenty of shows/stories have made me cry by thwarting my hopes for happy endings of various descriptions, but I'm not sure any has broken my heart. Buffy/Angel was/is probably the worst in terms steadfastly refusing to deliver the happy endings it vaguely suggested might be possible.
