Mondays invariably suck

Overslept and am rushing to get ready for work. Argh!

But I really liked [livejournal.com profile] xtricks  post re: fandom's reaction to Torchwood news.  You can read it here.

Seriously awesome link. Thanks. I don't keep up with TW comms anymore because I just...can't. I'll give it a go when it comes back with the expectation that I will probably move on after I find it not to my taste, but handwringing and bitching about it now seems like such a pointless exercise. It's been over a year. Even I got over it.

Thanks for that link. I like [livejournal.com profile] xtricks, she speaks sense a lot.

Great post by xt, gotta comment (maybe in the airport??). Yeah, keeping away from main comms right now; fandom may be detri-mental to your health!

Some excellent points made. And many that could be applied to multiple fandoms, not just TW. The basic principles are the same.

Thank you for the awesome. I'm glad the only TW related stuff I follow are a select few (like yourself). While I may not agree with what you think of TW, I find it refreshing because it makes me challenge why I like or didn't like something about TW (you guys got me to completely rethink my opinion of Gwen...very hard I assure you). Not to mention, it's good to read reasonable discussion about a topic.

I thought it was rather well said. Aaaaand that maybe he needs to save himself some aggravation by not bothering to read these noodle heads.

thanks for posting, it was a great read! I've almost completely removed myself from the fandom part of TW, so I had no idea what people's reactions were, but none of it really surprises me. I'm still undecided if I will watch S4, but probably will.

it's weird because the other show I started getting into, also is having it's own fandom explosion because the show is getting canceled and so many things can be true in both places.

Thanks for the link! There is just so much fail going on lately that it's like swatting mosquitoes in the Amazon. Hit one, get bitten by a thousand others...

Otoh, off the comms there is very little of this going on right now but I do wish they'd get their heads out and inhale some sorely needed oxygen.

Hmmm, well, I'm glad I missed all the wank. Must be because I mainly just look at individual LJs and not comms? Sounds pretty awful.
