So, I watched it -- obviously, as the love child of the X-Files and Torchwood, this show appeals to me. I really liked that this show seems to deal ( spoilers )

My ten favorite female characters in anything ever, as of this moment, in no particular order:

I joined the 100_women community -- a comm that was created to encourage fic writers to write about as many women as possible, using a table of 100 prompts. While the community seems a little slow these days, it's still active, and, as far as the tags indicate, anyway, no one has written any Torchwood fic for the comm!

I'm trying to be very self-critical (i.e. I'm not trying to hand-wave problematic issues where they do exist), but at the same time, I really want to highlight the positive feminist experiences that have come out ( Read more... )

I liked Voyage of the Damned more than The Next Doctor. I didn't think that The Next Doctor was bad by any means-- I rather enjoyed it-- but I enjoyed the epic disaster thing more. Mind you, something like that wouldn't have fit in very well as a post-Journey's End story-- this one needed to be entertaining while not being too spectacular, and ( Read more... )
