30 Days of Who Meme: Day 3 -- Your Favorite New Series Episode
Well, if you'd asked me this question months ago, I probably would have said 'Human Nature'[/'Family of Blood']. I'm a bit weak for character studies, Doylist meta creeping into the narrative, and dark stuff, so that hit a lot of my kinks. Still, since S5 has aired, I have a new favorite -- "Amy's Choice'.
'Amy's Choice' is all frightfully meta and couldn't be something you'd do every week, of course, but I really loved taking that moment to really go there with a lot of issues about the Doctor, his lifestyle, and his relationships with his companions. I also thought Toby Jones as the 'Dreamlord' was brilliant. I've always loved his father, Freddie, as a character actor, but he showed that he could bring the awesome just as much.
I could really watch this episode on repeat (especially my favorite part when the Doctor is reaching for Amy in her grief, but can't bare touch her -- see icon). I think all of the characters are just pitch perfect and their portrayals are so brutally honest. Yes. Excellent stuff.

30 Days of Me Meme: Day 3 -- Your favorite television program
Hmm, well, I've definitely got a couple. My traditional pat answer was always The Prisoner (the original, of course) and The Tomorrow People (the first bit of telly I was ever truly fannish over, back when I was wee). I still love those, of course, but obviously as of late, my age-old love for Doctor Who got rekindled around S3 and I've been back in love with the show ever since. I've had a wobble here and there, don't get me wrong, but S5 has really cemented my love for the show and I'm really excited to see what S6 has up its sleeves. So, yeah, definitely my current favorite.
