ericadawn16This summer I was faced with a crisis. This summer should be known as the Debacle of Death!
Between May 1st through July 31, not one, not two but a total of NINE of my favorites characters died from impalement, drowning, spells, a knife and one awful snake from my fandoms of Spider-man, Lost, Pirates and Harry Potter. By the time I finished Harry Potter, I swore I’d never love again.
However, the Fandom Gods had other plans for me. I fell hard for the title character of a show I’d watched casually for over a year: Dr. Who.
It happened so gradually that I didn’t notice what had gone from a show that I could miss if my schedule didn’t work out or I forgot to a show that I now watch every single time that it’s on, both on SciFi and BBC America. I also love Torchwood which is the spin-off.
Now what makes Dr. Who and Captain Jack Harkness, star of Torchwood, so different from my previous favorite characters?
THEY CAN’T DIE!!!
Ever…
(Cackles manically.)
That’s my new plan; I should only fall in love with immortal characters who will never let me down.
Aren't they cute?

I don't think I've spoiled anything for you, I hope. Sirius is on the list because he was already dead, but seeing it in your mind's eye is not the same as seeing it on the big screen.
Yay, Friending!!
