The Doctor in his TARDIS

Mar 12, 2011 10:35

This was going to be a rant on the latest interview from John Fay, one of the writers for the new series of Torchwood. In his interview, Fay went on again about how no one is safe in the world of Torchwood, anyone can and will die. This week's sad events in Japan and Libya put his words into perspective, and made this interview even sillier and ( Read more... )

So John Fay exists? I had my doubts. :)

I haven't read his interview; I mostly skip past the bits and pieces about CoE2, only occasionally tripping over some pile of.....Erm. You know.

But I'm not surprised to hear that the theme, once again, is going to be Guess Who Dies Next? Sadly, it seems the only way Rusty and his minions can frame a story: the audience merely tunes in for a death watch.

I have no objections to death's being part of a storyline. However, I do object to when it's made into a cheap entertainment--when the whole point of watching a show is supposed to be betting on which series regular bites the dust this week.

On the other hand--I'm really liking the glimpses of DW6, and I'm really looking forward to it. There look to be very funny bits, very scary bits--and a significant dose of very emotional moments. I can't even begin to guess how Moffat's putting it all together, but I am looking forward to seeing how he does it.

Yeah, John Fay actually exists, and I even double checked to ensure this wasn't an old interview about CoE, but it wasn't. It was about the latest TW, and guess what? The hype now sounds exactly like the hype then, minus the obvious to me now BS about a great love story. I don't call lying next to each other in a makeshift morgue the culmination of a great love story ( ... )

Well, at least they're sparing everyone the BS about "sweet" love stories....

I saw the photo of Gwen with the rocket launcher again. I still have no idea if that's some fan's joke, mocking Rusty's propensity for handing women very large....weapons. If it's for real, it's 20 times as funny, because, yet again, Rusty's handing a woman a very large....weapon. Not to mention that Gwen appears to be pointing it at her team.

Which might be the biggest plot spoiler of all.

:D

Ha, no - no false 'sweet love story' come ons this time, mercifully, although Jack has a one night stand with a young bartender from DC. Yeah, and no one saw that coming. I wonder if the bartender will be snuffed, too, just so Jack can be alone once again?

Gwen and a rocket launcher. Thatt reminds me of the infamous photo of Dan Quayle holding the rocket launcher the wrong way that I once had hanging on my cubicle wall.

LOL to the biggest plot spoiler of all!

Rusty and Very Large Weapons ... 'nuff said.
