RTD really is a complete nong. Seriously. There's an article on Torchwood TV [SPOILERS] where he carries on like a complete knob. I've been annoyed about this ever since I read it yesterday, but it woke me up at 5am b.c I was still annoyed, so I had to go leave a comment. Behold: (No spoilers in this bit.)
"Davies goes on to say, "And is a comedy. You're going to hate it; ming mongs [aka fans] hate comedy episodes."
Sigh. Way to go to harsh fannish squee, Davies. Every time that man opens his mouth and condescends on the fans, I wonder if he realises that it's *because* of the fans he has a job at all - fandom loyalty to a show is so important.
And the fact is that while he may think the comedy episodes are funny, they're generally really very unfunny and not terribly witty. He keeps using the word comedy, but I do not think it means what he thinks it means. He needs to ask Joss Wheadon how to write successful comedy within a genre show and how not to alienate fans by using condescending and twee terminology to describe them.
Honestly, I love DW and TW, but RTD is his - and the shows - own worst enemy every time he opens his self-indulget mouth.
Seriously, you twunt, get over yourself and go back to writing school. Oh, and while we're at it, go to school and learn how to treat your fans better than this. Gah. And I was so thrilled with the scene that's been doing the rounds, I really did have high fannish squee and that little piece of condescending twatwaffle knobbery has really pissed me off. Just. Don't speak, RTD. EVER.
