Happy things in 2011

[sholio]

Now I'm feeling vaguely guilty about my Sanctuary post. I didn't mean to dump on the poor show quite that hard. (No hard feelings, Sanctuary fans? I haven't given up yet ...)

Besides, talking about how much I didn't like something is nowhere near as much fun as dwelling on the things I like.

So - the small-but-growing list of fannish things that I am looking forward to in 2011:

- Avatar: Legend of Korra. TOP OF THE LIST BECAUSE OMG WAAAAANT.
- New Jim Butcher book! (I'm looking forward to this so much I can't even say. I hope it doesn't disappoint.)
- New season of Being Human. Squee! I didn't enjoy the second nearly as much as the first, but they have a really fascinating setup going into series 3 and I'm really looking forward to it.
- New season of Doctor Who; I am enjoying Moffat's run way more than I thought I would from the first couple of episodes, and I'm eager to see Amy and Rory again!

What are you looking forward to? (No big spoilers, please, if possible.)

Very true about being nearly alone, although thankfully I know some people who share my opinion. But if I didn't hate the fandom before (and trust me, I did), what went down after CoE would certainly have done it.

I've heard other people say that before, about it feeling like an ending, but it never felt like an end to me. Maybe because Torchwood is first and foremost Jack's story, the same way Doctor Who is the Doctor's, and Jack's story isn't ending. He's hit a low point, but for me that only makes me more eager to see what comes next.

But of course I loved the show before that and have few quibbles with it. And after CoE (which abbreviation I still can't help reading as something else first *headdesk*) the creators have more than earned my trust. Right now I'm not worried at all.
