These words are simply the business. I'm not sure if it's ever come up, but The Monks1 is a fantabulous band that I am in, so whoever is reading this needs to stop for a second to get a pen, and write the date on their calender. Got it? Good. Done being a desperate musician now.
Back to loverly, nerd things2!
So, given a few weeks to ponder the series 5 finale, I've decided things. FIVE things, to be exact:
1) Matt Smith is now completely cemented as The Doctor for me.
2) Stephen Moffat let his cracks distract from and mask a lot of potential awesomeness.
3) Rory Williams is a fantastic and realistic character, bringing me to four:
4) Arthur Darvill exists in a perpetual state of amazing, and is extremely versatile in his acting.
5) The fanfic opportunities for these characters are astoundingly vast, which means they should have little trouble writing actual EPISODES for said strong characters. This could go on forever (and I truly wish it would).
......................................... 
Furthermore, it's just plain awesome. LOVED Matt Smith's scene in "The Big Bang", when he told Amelia the story of that box which is/was the "bluest blue...ever". It was great to see that kind of wise, thoughtful moment in what seemed such a rushed episode. It made everything (the paradoxes, the meaningless rambles, random appearances for appearances sake, and loss of a fabulous fez3) in the finale more, well, "timey-wimey" and less "wibbly-wobbly". I love when 'Doctor Who' gets all 'Doctor Who'. That's the BEST way I could phrase that, because nothing is even comparable to it.
So really, you could say I thought it was great. Not completely EPIC, but pretty great. Great Doctor moments really make up for the plot holes and unanswered questions, so thank you Matt Smith. Thank you ever-so much.
Final note: My loverly--best word ever-- friend Clare "forced" me to watch the greatest DW finale EVER, "Doomsday". Yeah, I cried. I flippin' bawled. I'm not ashamed to admit it, I'm sure there's not a soul who didn't at least WANT to. I'll post the dialogue very very soon, because it fills my heart with a baffling amount of warm-fuzzies and loss. Oddly, I love this feeling.
Well, that's what's happening today. Ahh, the life of a semi-cool nerd.
1 Note how I made the band name a bright color, to really draw your attention. This is all code for: SEE US PLAY. SERIOUSLY. DO IT.
2 Meaning? "Doctor Who", of course.
3 So getting a fez now. "fezzes are cool".

The Rose drawing is by SheldonSands on deviantart-- you should check out her art, she has this really cool collection of drawings that are styled as drawings of the Whoniverse contained in a notebook, if that made any sense-- and that concept will make much more sense once we watch a certain 2 parter (which we should do when I sleep over), for which you are absolutely NOT allowed to look up spoilers because it is in my list of favorite episodes of any TV show, ever (it's that good-- on the same level as Doomsday, Girl in the Fireplace, Blink, and all the other really mind-blowingly great episodes of Doctor Who, so you CANNOT spoil it for yourself. I won't let you.).
