ryanreactsNow that I have finished my rewatch of Doctor Thirteen’s adventures, I almost wanted to write an actual list of things I might watch next . . . but this is pointless, because of course I want to watch more Doctor Who. It’s just a question of when. Right now I’m torn between
a) watching all of Doctor Twelve’s adventures again
b) watching all of Doctor Twelve’s adventures again, and then Eleven and then Ten and then Nine
c) going back to “Rose” and watching Series 1 through 10 in that order
UPDATE: I was somewhat torn between option a) & option c). So I watched “Rose” the other night, and just now I watched “Deep Breath,” and - big surprise, not - it’s no contest. I mean, sure, Nine & Rose are fun, but Twelve is my second-favorite Doctor and Clara is one of my favorite characters in the entire show. So yeah, I finished their first episode and immediately started downloading more. I’m pretty fucking excited, I love this era so much.
When I feel like watching something other than Doctor Who, there’s always Gilmore Girls. When I had a hotel room to myself in Vegas last week, I ate some gummies and watched slash listened to a few episodes from season three, and even though I’ve seen season three so many times, it was blowing my mind how funny the show still is.
And of course there’s always Buffy. The other day my Buffy t-shirt arrived, so I downloaded the first episode and watched it after work. I’m not necessarily planning to watch more than the first episode at this time, since I am very busy with Doctor Who, but a day or so later, DisneyPlus sent me a notification. Because I watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer, they think I’ll enjoy Star Wars: Skeleton Crew. This amuses me for two reasons. One, Star Wars is just okay, and DisneyPlus oughta know I think so based on my viewing habits. Two, I don’t know anything about this particular Star Wars series, but what in a Hellmouth far far away is its connection to Buffy? They’re both . . . action shows? One is fantasy and one is sci-fi? I might be thinking about it too much, but that makes sense: I’m stoned.
