WHAT. THE. HELL.
Mother thinks taking fourteen year old daughter to have a lie detector on a live show is a good idea and so do the presenters, apparently. Because the mother worries her kid is doing drugs and is having sex. Daughter reveals she got raped once - and that the mother knows. And still thought it was a great idea to drag her daughter to a lie detector test being aired live and ask her if she had ever had sex.
Mother: Have you ever had sex?
Daughter: I’ve already told you the story about this ... and don’t look at me and smile because it’s not funny. ... Oh okay. I got raped when I was 12 years old.
Male presenter: Right... Is that the only experience you’ve had?
Mother: I only found out about that a couple of months ago. Yes, I knew about that.
Daughter: And yet you ask me the question.
Mother: The question was, have you had sex other than that.
(You can hear the whole segment here. You might feel a bit sick.)
There's apparently quite a bit of blacklash against the presenters going on after this, as mention here. But at least they didn't know in advance, unlike the mother. Still, this is soundly fail all around.
In Doctor Who news, a new Russell T. Davis interview from Comic Con about Rose and Ianto, among other things.
I have a feeling fandom's not going to love his remarks. Though RTD did make me consider something - Doctor Who had a new Doctor after the first series already. But the companion didn't change - maybe a bit of the focus on Rose was due to her being the constant.
Fics I want to write/finish:
- A post-Apocalypse fic. Not sure with which characters, but the image of surviving in the ruins of civilization evokes something in me.
- Spock/Uhura story with older!Spock appearing as well.
- "Humans Don't Dream of Gallifreyan Sheep", Donna-centric where the Doctor keeps returning to her every time her memories resurface a little.
- An AU Daybreak with ressurrection technology viable for humans as well, Ellen deciding to raise her 'children' right and a quite different ending.
- "Life's a Time Machine", human Doctor learning how to live with the most basic time machine of all.
- A Pon Farr fic where it's a problem, not the greatest sex ever.
I want my BSG DVD to arrive already. And also I was up too late last night and might have ordered some silly thing from Amazon.Including audio CD of the Star Trek movie novelization, because the DVD is not out until November. I think I'm a bit restless and impatient these days, bleh.
How are you?

Intriguing. That aspect of the plot was never really looked into in canon.

Surprised it isn't a more prevalent cliche, that one.

Honestly, I've not read much Star Trek TOS fic, so dunno how writers there deal with it. But I remember some of the Voyager fics I read back in the day, and it was often as an excuse to porn. But sort of being forced to have sex, that's not all rainbows and bunnies. I could see having issues with it.
