Bitches Be Crazy, til they find a Nice Guy

Okay, so you know how New Who seems slavishly devoted to the one-Doctor-one-Companion rule? (*cries* I loved Rory. I loved having two companions who were in love with each other. BRING BACK RORY!) And how the introduction of each Companion brings writers out of the woodwork describing her as ‘fiesty’? (Fiesty is one of my least-favourite words, and not-incidentally a totem of ‘post-feminist’ characterisation of women.)

SO MANY PARANTHESES. But I think you get where I’m going. ( Cut for spoilers and women characters talk )

LION OF AWESOME COMING YOUR WAY THIS MONDAY

There are HAPPENINGS afoot. AWESOME is coming your way! Like you are a nomad in the dusty desert, and something keeps coming closer and kicking up dust but you can’t see what it is. So you just keep walking, and then HOSHIT IT’S A LION coming to EAT YOUR FACE. The awesome is coming on Monday to EAT YOUR FACE. So, y’know, watch this space. There’s been lots of hard work and it’s going to be so shiny and everything is so pretty and YAY!

Mood: cryptic, yet intoxicated.
