I have snacks, I have Sudoku, I have no plans for today except listening to the audio of The Dalek Master Plan. Ahh, Saturdays. (I would be joining in taraljc's Life on Mars-a-thon, as I still haven't watched it, but I'm at my parents' and my dad's PC is creaky and weeps emo computer tears if I try to make it do complicated things like play .avi's)

And a meme, seen everywhere but most recently from twinkledru: Name a character or pairing! Then I will ramble on about it! I just like how emphatic it is.

Anji is great because she doesn't *want* to be an intrepid traveller through time and space. She'd rather go back to her great job in the City and make lots of money on the stock market, thanks, and she can see straight through most of the Doctor's crap that Fitz chooses to ignore, and she says so.

I sort of wish more had been done with Anji rather than half the books reducing her to being emo about her dead boyfriend, because she's smart and sarcastic and sure of herself and if she was ever put in charge of a planet it would have the best-run economy in the universe. This is possibly why the Doctor wants to keep an eye on her. Also I *hate* that she was written out by being handed a pre-fab family in a new boyfriend and an annoying adopted daughter.

omg yes Anji leaving like that annoyed me. i don't think they ever really knew what to do with her and lots of people hated her for being any good. also she knows that the doctor and fitz are in love and i think she should have become empress of the universe

also she knows that the doctor and fitz are in love

She's so aware that Fitz will probably let the Doctor get away with everything up to and including murdering everything in the entire universe and react with a tolerant but besotted shrug, and she calls him on it. She's the Senisble Bossy Girl-character Among Childish Boys, which is possibly why people hated her, and why I <3 her.

Anji would like Romana and Sarah-Jane, I think. (I have this whole AU in my head where Romana is the last Time Lord and is travelling with Sarah-Jane and now Anji seems to want in on it...)
