Dude He deserves it. Really????
okay - so we've been sharing tidbits on the new Torchwood series over on the LJ comms of course - everyone wants to know more - or most everyone...
if you're a PRO-Gwen supporter go no further - seriously
so I posted the caps from the 'In production' video over on the Torch_wood comm and someone commented that Gwen looked pissed at Jack and ready to him slap him and not in a good way
then someone commented that 'Dude. He deserves it.'
grrr.... really? seriously? he deserves it? why exactly? because Jack reacted poorly to having sacrifced his lover and his son to aliens? to the UK governments attempting to sacrifice children to those same aliens and trying to kill off Jack and others who knew anything about it?
the man is now older than the Doctor and has had more experiences good and bad than most humans could reasonably be expected to handle and yet he continues to try and do the right thing most of the time - he's been willing and will no doubt still be willing to make the tough decisions and stand by and face the consequences [something that the Doctor for all of his highly evolved Gallifreyan culture and background doesn't do - he leaves after the event is resolved and doesn't generally face the consequences of his decisions except on rare occasions] - so where exactly does Gwen come off with the right to be angry and where does the idea come from that Jack 'deserves' her ire? she's not lost her lover/husband or her child - she's never truly had to face any real consequences for her actions and decisions - and I don't count the reports that Gwen and family are living 'in hiding' at the start of Miracle Day - she's still got Rhys and the baby
RTD was absolutely completely wrong - Gwen is not the heart of Torchwood and never was. She was a self-centered and selfish whiny child who STILL thinks she so much better than anyone else including a man with several lifetimes of experiences behind him. Frankly I hate to think what her child will be like - unless Rhys has a majority of the influence on their child's upbringing. Then again he's made himself almost into a doormat for Gwen and she doesn't appreciate his love for her.
and as much as I love John - he and the cast have bought into RTD's rhetoric in regards to Gwen...
sigh
hell I even got scolded because I said it wasn't Rhys I wanted to see dead in series 4 [we lose teammates/regulars at an alarming rate in the show] in an earlier post to that comm
