The pleasure of the marathon re-wind

Interesting piece here from The Guardian about the pleasure of watching marathon re-runs:

"...So the phenomenon of completism in TV is partly a response to being finally able to reflect on a story from its end. The other fascination of returning to the pilot or premiere after watching the finale, though, is that it reverses the way in which a drama normally works."

Time Lords have a history of memory wipe? Discuss

This icon is a good description of my state of mind today. Having enjoyed some brilliant meta, mostly centered on Donna, over with mannaplowsk and others, I turned today to beta work on a very promising story by an flister on the same theme. It says a lot about Donna's story that even after over two years, I find it very difficult to think about other things when I've been reflecting on it. It continues to grieve, upset and enrage me in a way that Rose's does not, and I know I'm not alone.
