i don't know anything about dr. who or whatnot (aside from the fact that my dad once had a spaghetti dinner with one of the doctors from the old series)

but as for what i've heard, in regards to 'intelligently' introducing glbt characters

i hear torchwood is pretty much like a fanfic with a big honkin' budget

can anyone confirm/deny this

Re: 147

Fanfic is generally better.

I think the glbt stuff in Torchwood is handled reasonably well given the context, but there's a bit of a problem with all of the plot and characterization, and, uh, acting. It has its brilliant moments though and S2 was a lot better.

Re: 147

I can wholeheartedly confirm the truth of this statement.

My four-year old nephew once watched an episode with me and brilliantly summarized the entire show afterwards: "And, and those guys were kissin'! And then they stopped the bad thing from happening!"

That's all you really need to know. (Which isn't to say that I don't enjoy the show, but yes, it is basically fanfic.)

Out of curiosity, which Doctor did your dad have dinner with? That's awesome.

Re: 147

[identity profile] numerousoptions.livejournal.com 2008-07-02 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
uh, i think it was the third or fourth one? i'm not entirely sure, i just know it happened when he was young. from what i remember of the story, the actor was in town (somewhere in new jersey, i think) for a sci-fi convention or something. my dad's parents, who apparently got dragged there by someone else, get talked to by the doctor (whichever one it was), asked if there was someplace close by they could get a bite. my grandparents offer him spaghetti at their place, the guy agrees, spaghetti dinner with a dr. who is had.

i'm not sure how much of this story is accurate, i'll have to call my dad later to get all the details right.

also: this pretty much sums up how little i know about dr. who (http://denialhour.com/helloyes/?p=4)

That's a sweet story. Do ask your dad which one it was, if he knows!

Torchwood is a great big crackfic. There's a reference to male pregnancy in the very first episode. At one point a cyborg in a metal bikini punches a pterodactyl in the face whilst covered in barbecue sauce. It is terrible, terrible television, but it is also bizarrely compelling.

Re: 147

[identity profile] numerousoptions.livejournal.com 2008-07-02 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
So, basically, Torchwood is a western hemisphere version of the Tetsuya Nomura approach: "The fans already know what they like, so read their slash fanfics, copy it, sell it back to 'em."

I refuse to believe these things are analogous unless everyone in Torchwood wears too many zippers.

BAHAHAHAHA. I've never seen "Cyberwoman" described so perfectly. Thank you for bringing the lulz.

Regardless of TW, Doctor Who itself has quite a bit of GLBT content and had it before TW ever premiered. And yes, I do think he introduces it intelligently in that series.

It is like fanfic, but I thought the second season was a huge improvement.

Although it lost all the girl on girl action. At least S1 tried to please everyone. Where did all the lesbian aliens go?

Torchwood is pretty terrible. The plot of the second episode was lifted straight from a bad hentai manga.

Oh, dude, word. I have been trying to find the words to describe it, and there they are.

RTD can be a genius and a prat, sometimes in the course of the same episode. His failure in the 2nd series of TW is to make one male character his Mary Sue with the result of completely undermining what he seemed to be creating in the first series.
