legionseagle wishes fandom had a more progressive penal code

[paxpinnae]

Basically, all a very significant majority of the fandom's criticism of River can be summarised as:

"Prisoner at the bar; you stand accused of being Jack Harkness while in possession of a pair of ovaries. Do you plead guilty or not guilty?"

Context is discussing Mary Sues. Again. QWP.

Agreed about Captain Jack; he actually made a better 2-in-C to Nine, really, as opposed to trying to lead an ensemble, and his backstory up to that point was much more fitted to it too. And the whole idea of trying to make Torchwood A SHOW FOR GROWNUPS actually didn't do it many favours either.

And by "A SHOW FOR GROWNUPS" RTD apparently meant "who needs consistent characterization when we have indiscriminate snogging?" The snogging was nice and all, but it didn't make up for the characterizations wandering all over the everywhere.

Don't forget the heart-stabbing WANGST~!

How could I possibly forget the WANGST~?! *headdesk*
