On Doctor Who & Wankiness
Troy and I manage the amazing art of having two conversations with the same person at the same time. (why doesn't Vox have an LJ-cutian function?) Troy zegt: Oh, yeah. Who outdates even Star Trek as far as geek fandom. Len zegt: Not just geek. /Wanky/. Of course, just last week, someone posted a classic fandom wank from '39, so one could argue it is simply intrinsic to all fandom anywhere. Troy zegt: From which fandom? o_O; Len zegt: Classic science fiction, apparently. XD; Troy zegt: ... Awesome. It's nice to know the old traditions have their roots in history. Len zegt: My favourite bit of Who wankiness was when someone posted 'audience comments' on the Tenth Doctor. The anti-Tennant folk took the bait, started ranting... and then were told the comments in question came from the time of the Second Doctor. Troy zegt: See, there's only ever really been one 'bad' Doctor, in my opinion, which was the Sixth from when the BBC was actively trying to axe the show's popularity. Len zegt: And one of these days, I might actually remember the names of all the actors. At which point I will have to throw myself off a bridge. Troy zegt: Oh. Erm. There are no bridges nearby. Len zegt: http://www.journalfen.net/community/fandom_wank/1087998.html#cutid1 Troy zegt: *clicky* Len zegt: Unfortunately for me, there /are/ bridges close to me. They come 'round for tea. Troy zegt: You are terribly Dutch, after all. "Excuse me, we were just in the neighborhood and were wondering if you'd seen any water?" "... *point*" Len zegt: Yeah... you should probably not try walking around with one of those magical water sticks here. Troy zegt: "Jayne, go back to your bunk and play with your rain stick." Len zegt: Bwah. I keep forgetting you're in the Firefly Zone. Troy zegt: Waaaank. XD Len zegt: It's very comforting to know that I am part of a long and harrowed tradition. XD Troy zegt: A long and apparently /mad/ tradition with propaganda and CAPS! Len zegt: DON'T BE HATIN ON THE CAPS. OR WE CAP YO ARSE.
Troy zegt: *flails!* Len zegt: *cackles!* --
Troy zegt: Good. I'm not the only one that finds Jack a little... well, over-eager and irritating, then. Len zegt: *pats* I think you're part of a minor minority. Troy zegt: Everyone is entitled to my very vocal opinion. Len zegt: Not everyone's opinion is like an arsehole. Troy's takes up five! --
Len zegt: It's hard to be academic when your inner fangirl is being amazingly active, jumping up and down and jiggling while chanting "JACKJACKJACKJACKJACKJACK." Troy zegt: *laugh!* I've had that problem once or twice. Just as I emerged into and then quickly bowed out of BoB fandom. Len zegt: Buck. Troy zegt: Kill Bill! Fuck Buck! Jerk Kirk! Len zegt:
XD But, yeah. Apparently there's going to be some 'big reveal' about Jack in the last episode, and the forums are going insane with speculation. Which is kinda funny. Troy zegt: He's... Troy zegt: MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRRR-CUS! Len zegt: "An intergalactic man-slut!" Oh, wait... Len zegt: Nah, seriously. It's like every minute there's some guy going, "Maybe Jack is the Face of Boe?" "No! Jack was created by the Master!" "No! Jack's the Doctor's son!" Troy zegt: ... Eyew. Len zegt: I wouldn't much like the last one. If simply because Tennant and Barrowman seem to want to get into eachother's pants. Len zegt: British pants, not American pants. Troy zegt: Mm-HM. *shudder* Len zegt: *snicker* Have I actually rendered you incapable of proper vowel use? I am delighted. Troy zegt: Vowels are for the competent. I like trying to pronounce 'WFB' in front of stunned beginners.
