LOL Torchwood
Yesterday I chucked my 2p into two conversations about Children of Earth, both of which have since been deleted. I know it was't my contributions that got them deleted, but I thought it was amusing nonetheless. The first was a conversation on torch_wood about the MYFANWY'S DEAD interview with RTD that I linked to here in this journal as well. I called Bullshit on that fucking argument that keeps getting trotted out along the lines of "Well, RTD's a successful writer so he can do what he wants, and when YOU write a successful BBC drama, THEN you can criticise." I've mentioned this one before. In fact, I said it here after Day Three aired. It's bullshit. I'm not going to say any more on the subject than I already said in that post, but anyone using this argument anywhere near me gets pointed and laughed at from now on for being REALLY QUITE DIM. Fuck off.
The second was a community pimp in torchwoodcoffee for THAT community where nobody's allowed to say anything nasty about CoE and everyone who does is immediately judged to be a batshit Ianto fangirl with a grudge and a sad longing in their knickers. NEWSFLASH: I KNEW IANTO WAS GOING TO DIE, IT MADE DRAMATIC SENSE TO ME THAT HE WOULD. I didn't think it would be in the cheapest and nastiest and most clichéd circumstances known to mankind, and I didn't think the show would then degenerate into complete nihilistic, badly written, edgy-for-the-sake-of-it NONSENSE after which Captain Jack flies away like Ford Prefect hitching a lift. Just to make that clear. If I were to rewrite CoE Days Four and Five, I'd probably still kill Ianto. I'd just do it FOR A REASON. I piped into that conversation because the tone of that community gets right on my tits, and I'm sick of being told I must be unable to APPRECIATE GENIUS due to Ianto batshit, just because I thought CoE started well and then ended shit. I thought CoE started well and then ended shit. End of story.
