Some thoughts on Doctor Who/Torchwood
Jan. 4th, 2014 06:01 pm1.Ive come to realize I REALLY dont like the 10th Doctor.It's not just what he did to Harriet Jones or how he treated Jack,Rose,Martha,and others.Or how much he fucked things up in Season 2 that came back to bite him. He's a manipulative,dishonest,cocky,unstable asshole. I love David Tennant and I love how enthusiastically and awesomely he played 10 but I really dont like 10 as a person.
2. I love Torchwood but I hate the direction it ended up going. Gwen was basically a gender switched self insert Mary-Sue of RTD's. CoE seemed to be an exercise in 'how much can we break Jack in 5 eps'. Ianto was reduced to a plot point with a senseless death. Miracle Day was a flat out plothole filled clusterfuck.
3. I think Moffat is a better show-runner than RTD was.Russell T.Davis is a good writer but he's really not nice to fans. Steven Moffat at least is respectful.
4. I really dont like how often the male modern series Companions get ignored by the Fandom. Jack,Mickey,Wilf,and Rory are all just as important as the female Companions are!
5. I absolutely love John Barrowman and Captain Jack Harkness! If he doesnt show up during 12's run Im going to be very very sad.
