Ah, fannish ennui, how I've missed you...
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.)
I've seen a few people bidding their goodbyes to Torchwood fandom recently and it saddens me in a way, but it does feel like to many people there's a chapter that's ended for good. That's not down to Ianto, specifically, I think there's a general feeling going around that this show died in July and it's not coming back. Incidentally, I really think we'd have heard about renewal by now, dudes. I am somewhat relieved that we haven't, I have no interest in a continuation of Torchwood, I really do think the story's been told and I wouldn't have watched it. As things have settled down I've come to realise that that's not simply because I find Barrowman and Myles to be two of the most tedious people on television, but also simply because I really don't think there's any story left to tell. I don't think I'm the only one.
Anyway, I think I might perform a friendslist cull in a week or two. I've connected with a lot of people through TW, but some our interests seem to be diversifying, guys. Big time. Having said that, I find a lot of your interests interesting. Unless they involve that show with the Wincest, I just don't care about that show in any way, shape or form. I'll be doing some picspams soon (LOL, I say that every week, and it never happens! That's because I'm lazy and easily distracted by life.) and in the meantime I'll just stick with The Big Bang Theory and Glee, two shows that will never fuck me in the arse in quite the way that Torchwood managed to. They make me feel pleasant and safe, and that makes a refreshing change.
I just saw Barrowman playing a banjo and shouting about pigs on CBBC. I have no desire to work out what the hell I was watching, but it was unpleasant.

If it feels right, do it
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!
Re: If it feels right, do it
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.
Re: If it feels right, do it
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.
Re: If it feels right, do it
I second that!
Re: If it feels right, do it
I think I love Moran I little bit right now.
