So..

I didn't want to write this long Torchwood post I was planning on writing, because I didn't feel it was fair of me to judge the show based on one episode. I VOWED that before saying any more about Torchwood: Miracle Day, I would at least watch one or two more episodes to get more of a feel for what was going on. I still haven't watched any more than that single solitary episode and having read the reactions to Ep 5, I suddenly realised that I probably won't actually be watching another episode ever again. Which probably means I won't ever write about what the fuck Torchwood has turned into and how much it disgusts me. You'll just have to take all that stuff as read, I guess. Sorry about that. But don't worry, that Ianto phonespam thing is still happening, it's just been delayed by technical problems.

But hey, dudes, MD episode 5: EDGY, right? Glad I'm not watching that gratuitous shock horror shit. Don't let the door hit your arse. Etc.

Good God yes, exactly this. Real life hits us all with that particular hammer just fine, day in day out. I tend to prefer my fannish entertainment to be the stuff that maybe doesn't show the good guys winning every time, but at least has them winning sometimes. And always still trying to win, with humour and love. Clearly I'm too soft and bland and fantasy-hooked to endure RTD's bracing, searingly honest and integrity-laden life lessons. I'm just such a silly little woman.

I see people now wishing that this shit was as lighthearted as CoE. That's just wrong on so many levels, it's almost funny.

Certainly seems to have driven a fucking huge tractor straight through the middle of most of the MD squee, that's for sure. I can't imagine why. Still, it'll soon perk up when they're back to watching Jack fucking yet another new guy a few eps from now. Death camps? Pfft. SEXY GOOD TIMES Y'ALL!

But he'll be fucking another guy in an angsty, manpain-y way. ANGST.
