I suppose if you spend RTD's run constructing arguments to yourself about the failings of its morality system, you stop watching. Or take your annoyance out on your long-suffering internet friend in private. Not make episode-by-episode reaction videos on YouTube. Reaction videos are lovely. Except for a few people (like SoFieReacts, who is one of the few people ever who has been able to unpick Restless [BtVS] on first watch), most of them just... react.
There are certainly other issues, but pinpointing that exact problem is what even allowed me to watch without my head imploding. *g*
I care that he set himself up as a moral arbiter and everybody who called him on his bullshit got deposed. While the show went 'wow . . . isn't he great?' My fave is problematic <3 (Sorry, couldn't help myself! And hey, River called him on it, bless her. Sent from the future to kick him.)
Never forget. JUSTICE FOR HARRIET JONES. Also 'the man who never would' a;skdjf;lksjl;f [stitch claps of glee at your annoyance]
but Twelve went back into the source code to make sure it would never happen again. A post-Twelve not!Ten handled correctly might genuinely water my crops and cure my sheep, or whatever it is we say these days. 🙏 🙏 🙏
Can you imagine the whiplash if he really was going back? "Ok, so on Tuesday I'm playing the character whose entire existence has been defined by resistance to holier-than-thou power structures. And on Wednesday, I'm playing the holier-than-thou power structure." I'm pretty sure that has been debunked (the shooting didn't overlap*), but that IS funny.
*this from a post that was overanalysing the moving sideburns/tattoo in the light of Everything Is Meant to a degree that I found impossible to care about or engage with
Oh yes, we're all in agreement that it never happened unless Rusty manages to surprise us and make something worthwhile out of it. I mean, I would SO BE HERE for it. Just like, bring back... Yaz or something, just to give them a different experience.
