Things to read.

solitary_summer has written an extraordinary essay examining RTD's Who-era (Death, life, and what it means to be human in RTD's Doctor Who and Torchwood). Very long, very in-depth, absolutely worth your while!


Or, if you feel like something completely different, you could go read angearia's interview with Scott Allie. I am not going to comment on it, since I'm still stuck in WTF-mode. No really. At least it explains very well why the comics (and everyone's characterisation, Angel's especially) is in such a shambles. Many thanks to Emmie for her excellent questions btw.

ETA: Re. Angel, let me pimp the_royal_anna's exquisite Angel’s Life in Five Acts. Excerpt:

The girl with the golden hair held out her hands. "If you turn over the child," she said, "You can save the world."

But he shook his head, and stood firm.

"I'll save the child," he said, "If I have to turn over the world."

A couple of helpful links for you re. LJ.

Here is a poll where you can let LJ know what you think of their cross-posting feature.

And here is a script for getting rid of the x-posting options on your own LJ. And it comes with such straightforward instructions that even *I* could do it! \o/ It's not so much the privacy issue (since I'm sure that my flist is awesome like that), but more that the buttons were ugly.

And sorry about the spamming today.

ETA: Huh. Via BGF: 10,000 LJers jumped ship yesterday. LJ? Your level of fail is certainly impressive! (NOW WITH CORRECT LINK! *headdesk*)

Anyway, I finally read #36. Initial reaction under the cut. ( Read more... )
