In ... 2007? but mostly in 2008, I was really, really into Doctor/Master. It hit pretty much every single one of my (some of them previously undiscovered) buttons: they were best friends when they were young, who eventually had a massive falling-out due to dramatic difference in worldview; all grown up, now one of them saves the universe but mostly Earth while sometimes being suspiciously messianic, and the other concocts increasingly ridiculous schemes, ostensibly to rule/destroy the world but mostly to get his ex-boyfriend's attention; together, they don't so much fight crime as distract each other sufficiently to keep the world from ending. Oh, and they're aliens, and routinely break the laws of physics. And the best part is that I didn't find myself with just a few precious shippy episodes: no, these guys had an excess of forty freaking years of history and canon and debatable canon and general absurdity.
Perhaps you can see where I'm going with this.
I'm being good and finishing my work and packing and generally doing all those pre-travel things one must do, but I'm starting to run out of Smallville episodes with promising summaries, and it's not like all the other clips of the Bad Romance vid didn't look just as ridiculously shippy. I'm frankly bewildered. I've always been pretty good at avoiding the sucking vortex of comics, and I'm mostly conversant in Marvel anyway (although not for lack of trying; I love you, Batman friends). So I am not quite sure what the hell I am doing! All I know is that none of the other DCU continuity has Chloe, and yet this probably won't be enough to stop me from really, really ill-advised forays into the abyss in search of more good Lex material.
...Speaking of Doctor/Master, which I wasn't really, there are now a bunch of cryptic teasers for s6 Doctor Who floating around the internets. I have no particular insights, except that most of it sounds hugely awesome, and also I am, as per usual, crossing my fingers for more Master, whether he's Benedict Best-Name-Ever Cumberbatch or not.
