Aww, I wish you'd been there too! It was an amazing time and I don't think we'll ever see that again, at least not here on Dreamwidth/LJ. Fandom is just so fragmented nowadays, on too many different platforms, to get that lovely little band of people all thinking and talking and writing about the same thing together like we did then.
But yes, we can now hope that Doctor Who will regain some of what it's lost in recent years, and we few who remain here can enjoy it together! :-)
I don't actually hate the Timeless Child thing in itself, but I did think it was very badly delivered, as a whole tonne of exposition with poor Thirteen just hanging there helpless, and I also think that having the *Master* deliver it was a *really* bad idea if they wanted us to actually believe he wasn't at least putting some kind of spin on it, if he was even telling the truth at all. And I also think they then made the whole thing completely pointless by having the Doctor then say it was okay, it didn't matter, she knew who she was anyway! I really hope they do actually give some meaning to it, make there some point in such a massive reveal, in the coming season.
