Day 6
When I first watched Girl in the Fireplace I could not STAND Madame de pom-something. I was firmly in the 'Rose is the Doctor's tru luv' camp. After a few times through the series, I cam to the conclusion I did not like Season 2 Rose and seen the GITF int a different light. After learning the real history of the Lady, I still was not a huge fan of her's but, I could see why the Doctor what in awe of her and began to like the episode enough to watch with out skipping over it.
Now in ALL of the Who Verse Gwen Cooper is the one character I HATE. I don't mean because, of Jack/Ianto shipping. That never bothered me. Considering Jack is from a time that he could love whoever, however and many ever he wanted. - because she had the fucking nerve to confess to her long time boyfriend/fiance that she had cheated on him then RETCONED HIM TO MAKER HERSELF FEEL BETTER. That ranks High on the You are a Twatwaffle Meter. Adrift also had me really annoyed with her. Hell, that episode had me annoyed completely. Gwen does have some good qualities but, I am unable to see past what she did to Rhys. I started to become okay with her character as we were NOT going to get away from her. Then I read one of the Torchwood books that had her again, fucking over Rhys but, this time it was an alien force at fault. It still rankled me. I did find my self liking her in the other books and Audio Plays. The show however has me disliking her.
Twatwaffle has become a favorite word. The British have some of the best insults. Here (the states) it is mainly curse and childish words. You could become very eloquent with your phrasing but, that just makes you sound like some Ivy Leauge Jack-ass and will be punched before you can finish out of annoyance. Where as, I have heard and read some lovely paragraph long insults coming from the Queen's country, I can say they are simple and very well thought out. Words you can say 'I have properly been insulted. GO you, sir!' and not have to look up every third word to find it's meaning. Your Momma wars have nothing on the insult wars I have heard two mates go at each other with. By the time your are finished with your list of insults your opponent is left laughing.
