At least these are good problems to have?

Move into apartment went surprisingly well--minimum fuckery from U-Haul (besides sending me to the wrong address to pick up my truck, wtf?), only one or two hardware SNAFUs when getting the furniture set up, managed to get almost everything put away before I went to bed last night. The biggest problem is that I have more books than shelf space and more bookshelves than room space. Whoooops.

You guys. You guys. Wedding of River Song might just be the most satisfying finale in all of New Who so far--no out-of-left-field utter crack, no "WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU EVEN DO THAT" Tinkerbell Jesus moments, nothing that gives me the urge to bang the showrunner's head repeatedly on his own keyboard because at least that would produce a better ending. I should not want to write fix-it fic where the version that was in my head is what actually happened. Please, talk me out of writing fix-it fic. It would not even be fix-it fic, more like "I liked my plot better than yours" fic. And that's just obnoxious.

I like that your idea of "less sense" involves "but when I wonder about reasons for things, there are more plot holes!" instead of my absolute fucking RAGE at this season having no coherent themes or messages and the finale necessarily making me angrier about that since it axiomatically can't tie anything up. :D I am willing to handwave anything Moffat wants me to for Big Bang since it knew what the story it was telling meant.

See, s5 made almost zero thematic impression on me, whereas s6 is a story I've been desperate to see told ever since... uh... the first few episodes of s4? The story where the Doctor gets way too big for his britches and finally gets taken down a peg or sixty and accepts that this is pretty much necessary. Everything Moffat's been feeding us since Silence in the Library--time can be rewritten, the Doctor as a mythical demigod who can win battles just by namedropping himself--he's been building up so he can go "actually, this is a terrible idea and just because you can doesn't mean you should" and kill off the side of the Doctor who's capable of that. And as much as it frustrates me that Moffat is not great about showing his work, for s6 I am willing to do the necessary handwaving, because it works as meta commentary: rewrite time too much and causality breaks down and everything gets disjointed.
