two thoughts (ok, three)

1. Do Owen Harper haters love and adore Dollhouse? Vice versa?

2. Have seen trailer for 'Sherlock Holmes'. really? REALLY? Yeah, no. That looked worse than Transformers 2, which looked craptastic.

3. *vibrates impatiently for people to finish their femme_fics, so they can be posted*

I hate Owen quite a lot, though I find him tolerable post-mortem.

I love Dollhouse (though "adore" would be pushing it), but have avoided fannish interaction outside my own LJ in part because I fear running across some idjit defending/woobifying Topher the way people do with Owen, and having to destroy them. Or give myself a stroke sitting here yelling about having to destroy them. Whichever. Either way, the consequences would be unpleasant. Early on I saw someone (you?) compare Topher to the handler/voyeur asshat on Bionic Woman, but he's turned out to be soooo much more of a waste of skin. I can't even.

DH is problematic as all hell. However, I have a long history of loving problematic things -- I'm a horror fan, for starters.

Addendum: And it's possible that was the Vicodin talking. I've only attempted to watch S2 (and only got about 3/4 of the way through) immediately after oral surgery.

Oh, Topher is, as near as I can tell, the most popular character in the fandom and the fandom's woobie.

It makes us want to hurt things, it does.

I can't even begin to be surprised. *sigh* I'm going to choose to believe the proportion is inflated by how many sane people are not touching the show in general with a thirty-foot pole. It doesn't make much of a dent in the depressing, but.

Owen is the Torchwood guy? I dislike him but do not actively hate. I think they went way too far in the pilot to be able to bring him back to being likeable. I do think he's at least got some bit of depth as a character, which does not make him likeable but does make him interesting to watch.

Though the Owen defenders who try to argue he's not really a rapist infuriate me.

And Dollhouse, well, you know my opinion on that. ;)

1. Owen was the Torchwood pilot rapist?

I can't deal with the second half of your question.
