bagheera_san: (flower on book)
Have finished two more Bernice Summerfield novels, "Dragon's Wrath" and "Tears of the Oracle", both by Justin Richards. Still pleased by his writing style - his only real fault is that he clearly loves Brax to an embarrassing degree, which I'm very willing to forgive.

Katy, you were right about Dragon's Wrath, btw, there is a LOT of Brax in the second half and he solves all your problems like a ninja, and is ridiculously competent at everything, even running and fighting. Benny doesn't exactly get a lot to do. spoilers for Dragon's Wrath and Gallifrey S4 )

Then there's "Tears of the Oracle". Dellah is kaputt, for reasons I missed but can sort of guess from this book, and it gets a little bit epic. Tears of the Oracle, also spoilers for Benny up to S11 )

Mostly my thoughts about all this are that I ship Brax with the Bennyverse, that is, I want him to stay there, and happily live on his collection and not pine for Romana, and ideally everyone else would also be happy and alive and they'd all be friends forever, particularly Benny, who deserves not to have horrible things happen to her all the time.

So, I never got the endless wank about RTD Who - sometimes it sucked, sometimes it didn't, why would you have wank about that?

But I just defriended someone over Moffat Who. Not because of wank, but because of the frankly insulting way they talked about people who dislike Moffat era - it was either defriend, or have a shouting match on the interwebs.

For the record: I think the sooner Steven Moffat gets replaced as showrunner, the better. I think it's sad that his episodes aren't more controversial. I think the way in which his episodes are bad is much, much worse than the way in which some RTD episodes, or some classic episodes are bad. If you want to squee about it, squee, if you want to argue about it in a sensible and civilised manner, even better! But don't insult my intelligence for being critical, thank you very much.

(I'm still going to watch it tonight, for the same reason people watch trainwrecks and Smallville*.)

*This is not to say that I feel for SV what I feel for Moffat Who. At all. No, deep down I still love you, SV. Enough to watch your silly finale next week, probably, as my flist tells me it is indeed approaching.
