Thoughts on Star Trek Into Darkness...

Oh who am I kidding, this is a rant. As I did with Interview with the Vampire I’m going to friend-lock this one, firstly because this reads as a lot more angry than I actually intended it to, and secondly because these issues rile people up quickly and I don’t particularly feel like any on-line arguments at this point

The internet is certainly a strange place when people feel the need to be able to tell you things like that. There is also a hidden implication that you're wrong for liking a certain actor.
It does worry me that it seems to be those views which are resulting in what we see on screen - it's why we're probably going to get another generic white good looking british guy for Dr Who. (and certainly imho why we got some cringeworthy 'bromance' scenes between Arthur and Merlin - fan service of the worst kind)

I would hate to think of Angel or Colin reading or worse seeing manipulated pictures, about themselves on the internet. To keep your private life exactly that is probably the best thing they can do, and not respond to any malicious gossip being spread. I know I had an argument with somebody when I once said that Colin always seems uncomfortable when the issue of the homoerotic nature of the show is brought up. Like he has said, if you are looking for it and want to see it, then that's what you'll see. Not the best sole reason for watching a show though.

I suppose with Eoin, if you are going to do a project with crowd-funding, then you need to have a strong online presence, the other two I'm not sure about, I know Bradley backed right away when fans found he was going out with Georgia and she and Angel were submitted to some pretty horrible things.

I too, hope that whatever Colin does next involves a romance of some kind, he sort of needs it after 5 years of being denied!
