In Russell's world, bumsex with Russell Tovey pretty much fixes all your emo manpain, no matter how vast, yeah?

That's pretty faily right there. Not as faily as that thing with Martha and you know who, but still pretty fucking offensively faily. As was that thing with Donna. Wow, that's a lot of fucking fail to heap upon an awful lot of companions.

DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOUR ASS RUSSELL.

Also, did Simm just disappear, never to be mentioned again, or did it just seem that way?

Yeah, I don't get that thinking either. Presumably they also have things they dislike about a show, character etc. so are we to assume that they are just being "haters" and dismiss their opinions with equal condescension?

I also agree there are a lot of reasons why people might invest in a tv show and the writing might not always be the biggest part of that. Torchwood is a prime example of that for me. I thought the writing was kind of weak a lot of the time and gave the impression that the writers were forced to write in their own private vacuums with no real sense of what had gone on before or where the story was supposed to be going, but I thought the characters and actors and some of the ideas were interesting and had potential which might explain why Torchwood works better in fan fiction these days than it did as a show as a whole.It did have its moments, but moments only carry you so far.

As for RTD. I don't think he's brilliant or a genius (sorry RTD), but I don't think he's the worst writer evah. However, I do tend to like a lot the ideas behind his writing or at least what I think he's going for more than the actual writing, which can be strong in parts, but too often weak in others. I can't decide if he just loses focus after while, leaves everything to the last minute and so is forced to rush or just doesn't have the capabilities to follow through on the big ideas he obviously wants to explore. I suspect it's probably all of the above.
