Someone tries to school me on borg coolness! What do you think?
That’s my 61 year old mother talking.
Sometimes people think I’m deep, but really I’m just quoting Doctor Who.
Resurrection of the Daleks.
Rodney Bewes is either the best acting in the show or the worst. No one’s figured it out yet.

Yeessss! Use the Rodney!

MMM. Let me not even get into the fact that someone’s been trying to play this game with me for a week or so now. NOT HAVIN IT.

not ok
I almost never reblog just to get help, but the BBC just responded to my complaint about the Doctor/Jenny kiss and I unfortunately don’t yet have fanmail open to copy it to you.
Response from their complaints department is here.
Original message I sent is here.
I understand that it may have been an error for me to threaten abandonment of the programme; I really thought I would have to and my girlfriend has been pre-screening episodes for safety before I watch, ever since. I also wound up removing reference to my survivorship in the final version of my complaint, out of fear of exposure. (Had I been able to submit the complaint under anything other than my legal name, I’d likely have left it in.)
That said, I should not have to include my survivor status in order to be heard, nor should I be treated as less intelligent or devoted a fan because I was so upset that I considered leaving my favourite characters behind. The implication that I did not think things through or correctly is all over this response and I should not be sitting here making excuses for the responder. Goodness knows I have been forced to make excuses for rape culture too many times, already. I am so unbelievably tired of hearing “nothing was meant by it.”
I used to be a very quiet blogger, scrubbed my archive of personal posts once a week, never tagged a thing—all for privacy. I will not, however, sit down and shut up when it comes to this. Neither the episode, nor this response, was justifiable. I feel that the brush-off I received was very typical of the BBC complaints department and would appreciate any help given in exposing it.
While I have no delusions that it will happen any time soon, I would love a Paternoster Gang spin-off, especially if it would give some more development to Vastra and Jenny. I want to see them kiss and to get a better look at their relationship, as well as characterization for them as individuals. Plus, I have this idea in my head of Strax meeting Jago and Litefoot.
Moffat said he was going to do a spin off but there just wasn’t time or something in the end, so he thought he’d just bring them back in bigger Doctor Who roles. Whatever they did with it, it’d probably have a crap budget. I’d be skeptical as to whether or not it’d be what we’d want it to be.
I always find it just really really awesome to watch you fangirl (Or fanboy, if you prefer).
Like, everyone else is great but you specifically.
I mean, I always get to learn stuff about Classic Who which I am otherwise unable to access because this man on the internet will allude to all of the stuff pertinent to the episode I’m watching and it’s just really quite fascinating to me..
Not only that but the fangirling in itself is just probably the most genuine fangirling ever.
Thank you! Someone called me a hipster once and my friend came to my defense by saying I’m “too genuinely obsessed with Doctor Who to be a hipster”.
And I prefer “fangenderfuck”, I think. Or “fanqueer”. I’m totes fanqueering over this new episode.
Oops, there goes my shirt up over my head. Oh my. Oops, there goes my skirt dropin’ to my feet…
