Vindication!

So I have a friend that is not at all into fandom, though she knows I am. Recently, she's made an effort to watch Doctor Who, as another one of our mutual friends likes it, and she wants to understand our interest

I've yet to even try season 5 or 6.

I didn't watch season 5 either, but I did watch the Comic Relief sketch with the two Amys. The horror of that was quite enough Moffat exposure to last me for years, I think.

YEAH!!!! *fist-pumping the air*

JUST SO YOU KNOW... I share these issues and regularly dissect them with my friend Sarah who is also watching the Moffat years. I'd love to know what quote you sent her!

You guys are awesome. think it's super awesome when people can engage in critical thought on things they like instead of getting all defensive.

Nothing pisses me off more (applicable to other things besides Who, of course) to someone responding to the pointing out of blatant sexism with something like "it's just sci fi" or "Well, but he writes good plots, so..." as if that negates it.

I shared with her one of my Moff favorites, as there's just so much wrong with it in such a compact space:

"There’s this issue you’re not allowed to discuss: that women are needy. Men can go for longer, more happily, without women. That’s the truth. We don’t, as little boys, play at being married - we try to avoid it for as long as possible. Meanwhile women are out there hunting for husbands

Way to ignore women who are lesbians or asexual. The only way I'd hunt for a husband is with a .30-30 Winchester.

I can't believe there are people who defend this jackass.

"The Waters of Mars" is a masterpiece, IMHO.

SERIOUSLY. Everything about it is fantastic.
