You might remember
whyareyoulikethis and me from such posts as
that one where we told you how much we hate Matt Smith (for a variety of totally shallow and legit reasons, I assure you) and
stopitsomemore making fun of us with her bedamned
pre-Doctor Who season 5 Matt Smith positive space or whatever the fuck that was.
I even had this conversation with
stopitsomemore the day before:
thatneedslube: I saw the Doctor Who posts, ps I have the episode but haven't watched it yet
thatneedslube: so worried. what if I like it? I'll be so ashamed
stopitsomemore: if you do
thatneedslube: But if I hate it still, I'll feel so vindicated
stopitsomemore: you are obligated to post about it
stopitsomemore: you realize that
thatneedslube: yeah, that hurts me inside
Fear not, guys.
whyareyoulikethis and I watched 5x01 at 9PM on a Sunday (Can you say "mistake"?) and have compiled our amazing live blog for your entertainment. I believe it is more well-balanced than expected, which probably means not at all.
( Shut up, Stopitsomemore, his nose really is that big. )Round-up time! In summary:
whyareyoulikethis: anyway, i will admit to enjoying the writing and amelia.
thatneedslube: the writing is good, Amelia is decent. Matt Smith is still lame
whyareyoulikethis: yeah, i'm still trying to get a handle on his performance, we'll see.
thatneedslube: I'm willing to watch more, I just am not feeling it really
whyareyoulikethis: ditto
thatneedslube: which is kind of a relief since everyone I know was like  OMFG I LOVE IT
whyareyoulikethis: yeah. i didn't LOVE it, but i liked it overall.
thatneedslube: Yeah That sums it up pretty well for me
ETA:
damngirl: i see
this and i see
this.
