I'm not sure I realized how refreshing season 4 was in that Donna wasn't actually all moony over the Doctor romantically. Now that we're throwing that element back in... urgh.

Which is not to say that I don't like this season, I really, really do, in fact. But it was fun when inevitable heartbreak was off the table, ya know?

Anyways, I find the weeping angels among the most sinister and terrifying of the Doctor's adversaries, and really great for the horror-story aspect of their telling, even though they scare the pants off of me since I... don't like horror. At all. And yet I love the episode Blink and this past 2-parter was pretty good too.

And watching the Doctor continually trying to keep his suspenders on properly while Amy kept trying to push them off was hilarious. Am I developing a suspenders kink? I hope not because they aren't exactly popular items of clothing in the fandoms I follow so I'm destined to be disappointed...

Ehhh, I doubt there's any "inevitable heartbreak" going to happen. Amy seems pretty realistic in her goal - she just wants to shag him, LOL. It's a far nicer attitude than Martha's one-sided mooning. And refreshing compared to the OTP-ishness of Rose and Ten, though still problematic in the whole "WE MUST MAKE THE COMPANION A ROMANTIC INTEREST FOR THE DOCTOR" mindset. It's a different dynamic, is all.

I hope you're right, since that was hilarious and far more lighthearted than the Rose/Martha romance aspects. I hope they keep to the playfulness/teasing the audience aspect of things rather then start to ease them towards more of an OTP type of thing now that Rose is officially(ish) out of the picture. And watching poor Martha pining and getting her hopes dashed (and watching the doctor lead her on) was painful.

I certainly wouldn't mind more suspenders tugging and references to debauched "virgin" queens ;p
