The Holocene Mass Exinction Event

i enjoyed many parts of s2 when it was first broadcast -- there are still a lot of things i enjoy about various episodes. it's strange, it's like there are almost no episodes that don't neccessitate ignoring or handwaving at least one major inconsistency or bad characterisation or something (and usually more). i love the idea of the parallel earth breaking off from our own history when queen victoria became a werewolf, and i love the zeppelins and vague fascism (um, i don't love fascism. only stories about how fascism is bad). i love the TARDIS being thrown through a crack in time and ending up in a universe that kills it by being different, and how the time lords used to regulate those sorts of things, but now they're gone and there's no way to get back. and the underground revolution being led from a van, and finding out more about mickey, and killing the cybermen by letting them feel emotions again-- horrible but fascinating. it's just how the doctor treats mickey, and rose treats the doctor, and... agh. it's awful. but yeah, when you are able to handwave those things the story itself is interesting, and i think that's the case with a number of s2 episodes. i still don't understand the werewolf turning into space jesus, but hey, you can't have everything.

friend away, as long as you don't mind that i take many rotational cycles to process such things. :D
