nostalgia finally works for me

We just watched the first episode of the new Doctor Who series. I feel like a giddy teenager again! Armies of mannequins and Evil Plastic from Space and the butchest Doctor ever. I mean, he looks punk.

I was never into Trek when I was a kid. Trek coming back again and again wasn't something I cared about. But Doctor Who... yeah. There's a lot of energy in the first episode of the new series: it's a little awkward, but you can tell that everyone involved is just delighted to be working on, you know, Doctor Who. It's cheesy, it's cheap, and I don't care because it's Doctor fucking Who and it's okay if the effects are silly and the plot a little dopey because the show's just fun.

Daleks and Cybermen and the good ol' Sonic Screwdriver looking tackier than ever and costume dramas and in-jokes and who knows what else they'll bring back if the show goes for more than a season? Think we'll see the Master return? Oh, I'm going all fangirl in a way I haven't in ages.

I dread the prospect of a flood of "this is my Doctor's Companion fan character" and "this is my Galifreyan character", but, um, I kinda want to participate in that, just a little. HOT GALIFREYAN PORN AHOY!

The old Doctor Who is <3, and the new Doctor Who is <3 <3.

But then, I've developed a crush on Eggleston. O, middle-aged British men.

I love particularily that they kept the old-school theme song. So Awesome.

The little pre-show promo thing I saw promised Dalek bondage in future episodes. SO HOT.

Sammi and I have been humming bits of the theme at each other all evening and reveling in our geekiness!

I'm describing it from the point of view of a pervert, of course. But there was this little preview of the season I saw, that had clips from later episodes, and there's an episode that involves a Dalek that's held down with big heavy iron chains.

"Dalek bondage!" someone exclaimed at that. Possibly me.

There was another brief shot of a bunch of people in gas-masks lurching towards the camera, with the TARDIS in the background.

Some of my kinks came from shows like this, directly or via my friends...
