It's been a while wince I've been this invested....well, except Doctor Who. But I've been invested in that since I was about four years old, so I consider it a part of my personality. On the other hand, no matter how much the Rose/10 thing annoyed me (Sorry, Jamie is the only OTP the Doctor will ever have. Slashy or not.), I still didn't want to lock RTD in a room and yell at him because he just didn't get it!! I still kind of understood where it came from. There was a solid backstory. I just felt it went too far.
The thing I don't get is, it seems that they recognized really early how good the GDL/JB chemistry was. And they started acting on it pretty fast (the episode 4 kiss of life). So, why did they even bother with all this Jack/ Gwen stuff if no one really saw it to begin with? At least, not after episode 3. It just makes them all look like assholes. The characters, the writers, the producers, and even the actors for going along with it.
And the "it really isn't meant to be romantic" thing only goes so far. That may be true, but lots of people can and have reasonably interpreted that stuff to be romantic, so it might as well be.
Where is Uncle Rusty's head anyway? Maybe he's got it shoved so far up the Doctor's ass he can't see that he's letting the mothership hurt its spin-offs. And that just makes me not happy with Doctor Who, and nothing is supposed to do that. Ever. I feel like he's taking away my possible enjoyment of season 4.
And all this over fake, television relationships. I feel like a mad woman over this show sometimes.
