1. Ah, man, now I want to see that. Never heard of it before. But I remember when I first started listening to later Beatles in college, and it was amazing.

4. I never get tired of the "x fandom saved my life" comments. Star Trek helped me through my parents' divorce. Sailor Moon and DBS helped me find a group of amazing friends who've stuck with me long after we've outgrown the shows. GBS helped me through a horrible time last spring. That's what fandoms are for. They're kind of like religion, but less daunting, and only mean fans yell at you and say you're going to hell if you're not into their fandoms. (Well, actually, the same is true for Christianity, but anyway...)

11. Screw. You.

People like you. People like you are why I can't stomache anime or the anime community at all anymore. This friggen concept that, "oh, it's got to be real anime! It's not from Japan, it must suck!"
You know what Avatar is? Avatar is an attempt to let American artists try their hand at making a continuity-heavy show with characters that grow and develop, and, while child-accessible, isn't exclusively for children. AND AMERICA NEEDS THAT!
I've got friends and colleagues who've been pitching stories--incredibly sotries with great art--for series, only to be denied. Not because they're not good enough, and not because the companies being pitched to weren't taking any new stories, but because (and I kid you not, this is basically what the rejection letters have said), they were too good. It was too weird to see a mix of humor and seriousness and plot-heavy story in a cartoon.

Avatar is an attempt to change that. It doesn't have to be fricken "real anime." It's a good story. Hell, I can think of a lot of "real anime" that sucks so hardcore. And people would eat it the hell up because it was anime. It was from the magical, wonderful land of Japan, so clearly ='ed awesome.

I am so sick of that fricken elitist attitude.

15. Screw you too, but to a lesser extent, and only because I worked myself up into a good fervor over that last one. More like, "eh, I see where you're coming from, but I don't agree at all."
I will say that I think Nine loved Rose more than Ten. Nine was always an intense, focused, dire sort of man. Ten was a hyperactive bouncy fellow with the attentionspan of a three-year-old. He still loved Rose. He loved her very much, and I think he would've allowed her to stay with him as long as she could have.
The better arguement than the "Doomsday" scene, to me, would be the "Girl in the Fireplace" bit. But even then, I don't think his actions negate his love for Rose. They just show that a)The (Tenth) Doctor is a very impulsive fellow and b) he could be distracted by shiny things. Most men--strike that, most people, even in a relationship--are.

In the case of "Doomsday" I think it's more that the Doctor loves Rose, but he has perspective. He's 900 years old. He's not going to have that tragic, Romeo-and-Juliet, stupid-teenager type of love where he kills himself (or condems himself to hell) for her sake. He's lost his children (and presumably at least one person he loved well enough to have children with), Companions, lovers, and his entire planet. I think the Doctor has enough perspective to know that know matter how much it hurts to lose someone, it won't kill him.

He loves Rose. He loves her enough to spend the rest of her life with her. But he's lived a long time, is the kind of guy who loves very deeply, and knows that life goes on. And on.

33. Oh, I hate that too. Drives me insane. I'm such a comment whore.

35. What on eart is wrong with Whedon-esque quotes?

42. Some people see bickering-sibling relationships and think bickering-Han-and Leia-esque, omg UST-type relationships. Ugh. UST...

9/Rose is a much better combination, I'll give you that.
I just wanted to give people something to ponder really, to show that their relationship wasn't all fluffy bunnies and love.

I think the average Rose/Doctor fan knows that, even if we do get a little bit about the adorable squee-y-ness of it all. Sometimes a little reality is fun. But sometimes it's just more fun to focus on the cute and the love.

Oh, I know that. And it really disturbs me. It's like saying "Oh, they can't bicker like siblings if they aren't really siblings. There has to be UST."

I have nothing against UST, because sometimes it is there. Case in point: Han and Leia. But if you're putting something there that isn't... I always felt it was fairly obvious that there was UST between Han and Leia. But that's just me.

I don't know... It's not so bad a pairing. I just don't get it. They remind me too much of me and my siblings for me to understand where the whole 'ship' comes from.

oh you. :')
