misscamLOL SFX. In their recent Doctor Who edition with the top companions, Rose gets this remark under "departure":
Gets stuck in an alternate dimension where people translate Norwegian badly.
BWHAHAHA. Damn straight - pay attention, BBC writers. Next time you want to stick Norwegian in your show, resist the lure of the Babelfish. Heck, I offer my services free of charge.
While we're on the topic, someone in mah LJ poll asked me to write about Donna versus Rose/Martha and my first reaction was pretty much "Oh HELL NO". And you know why?
/rage on
I like Rose. I don't think she's perfect.
I like Martha. I don't think she's perfect.
I like Donna. I don't think she's perfect.
It doesn't really bug me if someone doesn't share any or all of those three because hey, that's what what humanity is - a collection of individuals and none of us are alike. Thus, we can't like exactly the same things. Normally, it's fun to compare and see how different perception can be.
But the ongoing strong-on-grudgery back and forth between some Rose and Martha fans makes me want to throw things. ARGH, people, ARGH. Any sane discussion about stronger/weaker points and characterisation for either is now lost in partly personal fights and fandom wanking by anonymice. I think I saw red somewhere between reading the back and forth on classism and calling Rose a slut because she slept with two guys. It's gone so ugly I feel bad liking either, because there's been bullshit on all sides by now. Why the eff do female characters get so much hate from female fans in such ugly ways? Seen it in so many fandoms now - and double RAWR on anyone who uses a woman's sexuality as a reason to bash her. Newsflash! Women are allowed to have a sexuality. No, actually, that's wrong. Women don't fucking need permission to have a sexuality.
Words like 'slut', 'whore' or any of those bullshit labels shuld just be banned from any discussion of female characters ever.
I derailed there for a moment because using sex against women has bugged me since three fandoms ago, oops. Anyway, my general (fumbled) point is this - this Rose versus Martha saga has gotten to a point where I feel it's gone vendetta. It's gotten personal, it's gotten grudgery, stupid, repetitive and probably alianating a lot of people who aren't on the barricades. It's not so much about the characters anymore either, it's about fans of them going at each other. Quite frankly, it's making me not want to watch the show at times.
So yeah, I'm just gonna stay right here, liking all three. YA FUCKING RLY.
/rage off
I'm flocking this the moment anyone starts wank attempts because we've had enough of that already, thanks.
