51stcenturyfoxI put my joy-ball under a cut.
1. More Captain Jack. There's really only one omnisexual, immortal, time-travelling adventurer in media, and we're getting more! This is like getting an extra birthday.
2. Seeing John Barrowman's glee on twitter is gorgeous. JB is, by all accounts, a lovely person and kind to his fans, and he works his ass off. He loves playing this character. I think I'm happier for him than anything.
3. Gwen has always been one of my favorite characters (from Day One. Heh.) I'm overjoyed that the naysayers who thought she wasn't "Hollywood enough"-- what does that even mean, not blonde and a size negative zero? -- were wrong. I miss her argue-face, her ADORABLE WELSH VOWELS and shiny hair and buckle-y boots.
Gwen PWNS.

4. It sounds like PC Andy will be back (this wasn't announced by the PR pros, but he's really happy about the new series and we can guess why. MORE WELSH VOWELS. Also: adorable. Also: funny. Also: I want Tom Price to get a check.
5. By extension, I'm assuming Rhys will be back, too. (VOWELS, ADORABLE, etc.) AND I AM MEETING KAI AT DRAGON*CON I CANNOT WAIT FOR REALZ!
6. Even if the storyline is similar to CoE and involves an implausible alien and a bunch of government functionaries I could give two shits about, it'll reveal more canon about Captain Jack, maybe some backstory, and maybe we'll find out about those missing two years. And about what Jack's been doing since he fled Earth, and WTF happened there.
7. Captain John is still out there somewhere. (Oh, look! My First Ship! *nostalgic*)
8. And so's Chris Chibnall.
9. I can continue to not watch the Confidentials, because I really only care about what's on the screen anyway.
10. It's not going to be on Fox, which is great. The last awesome thing Fox brought us was the X-Files, and I didn't see lightning striking twice there.
11. I get to watch something first for a change, on my big-ass flatscreen, instead of a laptop download and DVD ages later. But I will buy the DVDs, because I support my shows.
12. I'm not deeply into any other fandom, besides Doctor Who, and this is a Whoniverse programme. I care about the leads. I like other shows, but I don't have a huge desire to write thousands of words of fic for them, not to mention RP, art, going to conventions, etc. So of course I'm fuckin' happy! I'm still writing stories about Owen and Tosh and Ianto -- I miss them, but they're still always part of the canon.
Basically, I woke up like this: WHEE!
