I said I would post something about the Ianto Jones/CoE/resurrecting dead characters campaigns and how standing on other people's backs is never a good thing but really, it just opened up a huge can of worms about manipulation and yes, I will, but woof, did it make me think and, aside from high end physics that I actually know about oi, this is never a good thing.
And don't give me bullshit about anthropological/societal interests and state elsewhere that you would hope if you had behaved in a similar way you would hope for external intervention. No matter the circumstances. People really do need to get the concept of blurred context. And no, that is not a dumbed down concept. Elitism sucks, no matter how you cloak it.
That disclaimer aside, I'll get around to posting my thoughts.
And if no one reads them, lol, it's just a means of forcing myself to structure them.
Short preview. RTD pulled a fast one on all of us, but we tend to make it easy for those things to happen. We can also not play that game on each other.
tl;dr version to follow
Oh and good natured finger pointing and giggling? Totally down with that
Blood in the water. no.
ETA - writer =/= storyteller. Big diff.
