Hey lovely peoples. I feel like I'm falling behind and looking at stuff (I see there's a ton of art and fic around) but I am seriously short of time at the moment. My play is in its second week (going really well! We've had some great feedback) and I'm back at work (arghhhhh Year 3! Such a steep (re-learning) curve from teaching Year 7.

The conversation on the last episode has been epic! I'm making my way through all the awesome comments. Once again I thank everyone for being so awesome and respectful of other fans thoughts. It was a pretty divisive episode - I suppose the thing I'm hoping is that at least some people are beginning to see that there are two sides here. Once both sides can be seen it makes things a little easier to accept (maybe?). And even after reading all the stuff I am still feeling positive and excited for this direction. I know in my heart of hearts this isn't the end of their remarkable and amazing love for each other (can't rehash it all here - but it's expressed in much of the replies in the reaction post).

(Just did a small flist tidy. Mostly removing deleted journals, inactive comms etc. If I accidentally removed you (ack!) let me know…)

Your journal has been my go-to this season for actual literate, passionate discussion of the show. I've pretty stopped doing that completely on my own journal or anywhere else lol. It's nice to have a safe outlet for it!

In bocca al lupo on your play!

Aw thanks hun. I'm blessed to have such interesting and articulate peeps on my flist - I love that they feel they can make their point and not worry about being shouted down. I hope that never changes. And thanks for your thoughts! I'm always curious to see how you're responding - considering how you are feeling about this season. And your sense of humour is always awesome …(I think if we can all manage to keep that then fandom can still be fun!).
