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.

Sadly, my initial dislike of River was the same as my initial dislike of Martha. And the only reason I disliked them at all was because I watched four series all at once and was still reeling from Rose's departure.

That's one thing to be said for watching episodes every week, rather than in a 24 hour period.

But now that I've recovered (cough) I really like River. She's got sass.
