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

[tencrush]

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

Animals at Work

[caledonius72]

Barrowman - Banjo - Pigs

His kids show: either a fearless expose showing how animals are enslaved to the human race to work for their petty needs or a cute show about how cute animals are when they do what they do (being cute).

Take your pick.

If a fandom is getting you down - either from the originating source or the fans themself - then leave with dignity, your time is done ;-)

Me, I'm in two minds about TW Series 4, there were rumours that it was commissioned but heard nowt since. I actually like Barrowman (it's the Gay mafia at work - lol) but freely admit he's not the best actor in the world. But given the way Children of Arse ended, I doubt he'll have more than a few cameos. Depends if it's a reset to S2 with diff. characters, or more of this EPIC and BRAVE "across five nights" malarkey.

I avoid the ugliness of the disintegration of the fandom as much as possible... Gwack v Janto, ad infinitum and the sheer bile/spew/vitriol that sickens me.

I stick my head in the sand and read lovely fics where all the team are together, and nothing too bad happens.

GDL seems to have gotten over TW, why can't we <-- ooo, provocative!

I'm starting to look forward to Girl Number 9 almost as much as the last series of Torchwood, if only because I feel that Gareth is going to be used better in this 30 minute drama than he was in an entire episode of Torchwood.

And I now fangirl James Moran for saying that he'd cast Gareth in everything that he did if he could :) and for saying that Gareth will really surprise people in GN9.

I really hope GN9 works out for GDL and gets turned into an actual TV show - at this point I'm more interested in seeing the actors I liked from TW keep working (someone give Naoko a decent job, dammit!)

And well, the actors etc have had pretty much a year to get over CoE, since filming finished last November. The fans, not so much.

I second that!

Seems as if a lot of people are bidding adieu to TW. I'm gonna hang for for a bit longer... It does seem as if an announcement should have been made by now...but maybe they are 'strategically' waiting until after the final DW with 10 (like yeah, is or isn't Captain Jack in it?? **grins**)

I missed Glee last week, but I think I will watch this week...it is a show where you don't have to think a whole lot, there isn't a whole lot to read into it, just watch and enjoy.

I never got into SPN, either.

Oh, Animals at Work...what a silly show!

I fairly strongly adore Big Bang Theory. And Sheldon's mannerisms are distressingly contagious.

[tencrush]

Sheldon is my new tv boyfriend. I'm fickle like that.

[meleth]

I kind of want to do naughty things to both him and Raj.

[tencrush]

*sigh* Me too.

I'm in a similar place. I still read a few TW fics, but I haven't explored any COE stuff at all and I feel my emotional involvement with TW is really dissipating. I'm kind of in love with Merlin now, actually. Often these days I'll start reading a TW fic and then just stop a few paragraphs in - just can't get into it. *le giant sigh*
