I am an angry, ranty fan

Jul 12, 2011 15:41

America, Australia, downloaders; you did well in not spoiling MD for me and for that I am grateful.

However, who decided that the radio plays were fair fucking game? Tweeting and FBing lines verbatim from the plays gives away more than you think it does, as does SPELLING OUT THE FUCKING ENDING on twitter or FB.

I apologise for having a full time job ( Read more... )

rant, torchwood

:(

Some people are so damned inconsiderate.

I just don't get it. It's people who are normally so good about spoilers from TV shows who have, for some reason, decided that anything goes with the radio plays.

I don't want to know the ending to a radio play story before I listened myself anymore than I wnat to know the ending to a TV show before I've had the chance to watch.

And Lester icons are totally perfect for this type of rant laced with disappointed disapproval!

Very strange indeed.

And Connor has an opinion on the proceedings as well!

jooles34 July 12 2011, 15:03:50 UTC

As does Jenny...

Turn off twitter until after you watch the play. I can't listen until lunch time. So I am avoiding the coms completely until after then.

jooles34 July 12 2011, 14:58:20 UTC

I have done now. And Facebook. I just can't understand why the same people that are so good about not spoiling the show when it's on TV think that's it's okay to do it with the radio plays. I don't understand it at all.

*hugs you*

Some people ....

Although I can tell you from my own experiences right now, that it's still worth listening to the audio plays. I've just managed to listen to yesterdays play, and the spoiler lines are only a tiny, tiny bit of the fun ;)

jooles34 July 12 2011, 15:00:13 UTC

*hugs back*

I have listened to yesterday's now and really enjoyed it,a nd I'm sure I will like today's too. I just can't getmy head around the mentality of people thinking that spoiling the radio plays doesn't count some how.

And that is an awesome icon. I have to ask if it is snertchable?

ravenja1170 July 12 2011, 15:20:40 UTC

I'm going to listen to "Submission" now ;) It sounds quite exciting from what I read at the BBC Radio4 info page ;)

The icon is from here: http://iconsbycurtana.livejournal.com/31377.html It's the only Black Adder one ;)

As for the "why", perhaps those people think that as the plays are set before CoE and MD, it doesn't matter that they spoil things??

Thank you for the linky. Been after a good headdesk icon for ages and this is perfect!

emyrldlady July 12 2011, 14:58:30 UTC

Preach it sistah!

Ianto needs to kick some ass.

jooles34 July 12 2011, 15:01:15 UTC

That he does.

And that reminds me, I should make an icon of my pic of GDL with my hockey stick...

emyrldlady July 12 2011, 15:02:21 UTC

Yes yes you should.

BTW- I dumped tons off my twitter and FB because of this exact reason.

jooles34 July 12 2011, 15:06:54 UTC

It's annoying though as a lot of them are people that would never do it for the show.

telperion_15 July 12 2011, 15:02:24 UTC

*hugs* Some people are just fuckwits...

jooles34 July 12 2011, 15:05:53 UTC

Perfect icon, thank you.

Just can't see what the difference is myself. These are people that would never spoiler a TV show; people I normally trust. That makes it worse somehow.
