I just wanted to say, because it's so easy to lose things on tumblr, that I get exactly what you mean about validating the bits people have tried to write off. Ever since I made it online people have been making people who love the 80s feel like second class citizens in classic Who. And then New Who comes along and their fans keep telling us that no classic who matters, that RTD created Who.
So, yeah. This was a nice thing to have! (I wonder what NW only fans made of it, tbh; some of those callbacks are obscure enough.)
And also that you're the only other person I've seen who also noted how wrong it was to have Seven and Ace not touching. I mean, Tegan and Five actually touch way more than people think, but Sylvester and Sophie are just never not! It was strange, even in the midst of appreciating having them there.
