Ah, fannish ennui, how I've missed you...

Oct 13, 2009 15:56

Apart from various and assorted personal happenings keeping me off the internets, there's other stuff, too. I'm not feeling the love no more. This, I'm sure, will pass eventually. (And when I say "not feeling the love," what I actually mean is it seems that people are spitting bile at each other again. Maybe I'm having perceptual difficulties ( Read more... )

I need to start watching Glee again. I saw it at Comic-Con and there are other shows on that I watch when it's on, lol.

But yes Glee is good.

You know I agree part of me hopes that TW is done, but a teeny tiny part of me wants to see what bull shit they can pull out of their asses for a new season.

I'm not sure if there would have been a renewal announced yet just b/c I'm sure they are waiting to capitalize on some big moments in DW to announce it.

The reason I don't think there's a big Torchwood announcement on the cards is because I get the feeling that any big moments to come in Who will from now on be Moffat moments, I think the Beeb will actively start to sideline Russell when it comes to Who, they've already announced a new logo and all the rest of it, I don't think they'll be wanting to pull the attention back towards RTD in any way. That's just a gut feeling I have.

I agree. Do you know if RTD is working on anything right now besides the last 2 Dr. Who specials(beyond his claim to be able to write new stories in a nanosecond)?

I can't help but wondering if the BBC finally got smart and told him to STFU about TW if they want any chance of reviving it.

But like you, I'm not interested where the story would go. Benn there, done that.

The two specials are done and dusted, months ago. They're well into filming series 5. So yeah, RTD hasn't got anything on his plate unless he and Julie persuade the BBC to let them carry on with TW from California.

I know that this isn't very nice, but nothing would please me more than for RTD to have to return to the UK with his proverbial tail between his legs.

I'm not a very nice person either, I would dearly love to see RTD fail, but having said that, do we want him to go back to the UK where he can do more damage ... if there IS more damage to do?

Good point. We could always send him to Somalia.

He actually reminds me a bit of Bret Easton Ellis, the author of American Psycho. He too rode on a high of critical acclaim...that is until people actually read the book. It too was a nihilistic piece of crap.

He's written several books since then, but none have had much critical success. He has however, optioned most of them into totally forgettable films that again receive no critical recognition. He's making millions, but at least he's not shooting off his mouth about how great he is anymore.

So here's to RTD's new career as forgettable filmmaker, he can make all the dark, poorly plotted sci fi he wants and make lots of money as long as he doesn't crap on my fandom.
