Oh, this is getting good...
Someone over at tennant_love has been posting reviews of various audio projects that Tennant's been involved in over the years. I'm not sure how old this person is, but from the general tone of her posts she appears to be about twelve.
Even taking that into account, though, it still can't remotely justify her review of the Big Finish audio play "Medicinal ( Read more... )
They do episode reviews and reactions etc and one of their teeny bopper posters made a post about a character's mental illness saying they Googled the symptoms and that the writers had diagnosed her wrong and given her the symptoms for Skitzophrenia and how lazy are they for not Googling before making up diagnosis etc.
People in comments pointed out that this diagnosis was made on the episode by a 19 year old using Google and thus mis diagnosis by unqualified teenybopper who assumes they know better than medical professionals.
This went totally over Googling teenybopper's head but gave me faith that not all Skins fans are brain dead obsessed with shipping morons and actually thought that TV writers might do more than stick a pin in a medical encyclopaedia when writing a script.
Even I, the total amateur, got a person from the place my script is set AND a person with a relative who has tinnitus to read my Aberdeen set script featuring a character with tinnitus!
But, here's the thing and the reason I'm posting this in reaction to your post, there was lots of discussion by braindead/shallow Skins fans and fans with actual intelligence who boggled at the stupidity of some of the statements.
The main statement was - I hope Effy has just got depression because Skitzophrenia is so OOC and out of the blue. - Yeah, depression suits her so much more and I don't want her to have Skitzophrenia. - ITA, depression is much better.
Thank Bod for the people who butted in and WTF that people are saying its better to be depressed. Some people with personal experience pointed out that people don't chose it, enjoy it, or find it attractive in their partners.
They were acting as if depression was simply listening to a Radiohead album once in a while and Skitzophrenia was murdering the nearest baby and not having a boyfriend.
I'm sure David doesn't pick a role for how sexy it is.
I get the reviews when she says 'he's hardly in this' but some of them have been so bizarre. She couldn't understand the concept of a period drama series and people talking all old fashioned *palm forehead*

In re: to her judgement criteria...I guess it's just a matter of learning that while everyone has the right to their own opinion, not all opinions are especially relevant to the discussion at hand.
