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... )

It's weird how, now that the CoE wangst has died down, the anti-GDL vitriol is slowly seeping its way into TW fandom. I swear, all I've read lately is he's fat and shit and ugly and will never work again. Was there some sort of fannish peer-pressure induced embargo on these opinions? Are they new? Or is karaokegal just really bored recently? (* ( Read more... )

A brief post about LOVE, like I promised. Or more specifically, about "I love you" and Children of Earth. I've heard from one of GDL's panels at DragonCon that there was a reciprocal "I love you" in Ianto's death scene in Day Four, but it removed at the request of JB and GDL.

( Somewhat tealdeerish, talk of RTD, slash, homophobia and misogyny )

BECAUSE NOTHING ELSE MATTERS ANYMORE.

DUDES, HE HAS A BUTTONY NOSE.

John Barrowman on season 4: "We gotta get Jack a new piece of ass."

Quite.

Link to interview, courtesy of forgiveninasong, hereI don't really have any words left about the way what we were watching has been twisted beyond all recognition by those involved in making it. I really, honestly, just have no words left for this. I am completely talked out about my ( Read more... )

So, like I've said, I don't really believe in all this SAVE FERRIS IANTO nonsense, because it's pointless and for me, it's not really Ianto's death, but his reduction from a character to a bit part, a lovesick and ignored appendage of Jack's, and ultimately a plot device in CoE that upset me.

But then there's this community: Fans For Ianto which ( Read more... )
