yeh fine they can kiss and have a relationship but why so much? BBC Wales should give a thought to those wathing with their dads!

If there’s one thing a Doctor Who fan hates, it’s the suggestion that a fictional character has a sex life. The only thing that could make the situation worse if if that’s a male character having sex with another man, as happened on a recent episode of Who spin-off Torchwood:

I felt it was totally irrelevant and gratuitous. One of RTD’s tiresome attempts to introduce something simply for shock value but it let the whole episode down.

I personally disliked the Jack/Ianto scene, it was unneccesery & quite obviously shoehorned into the episode to please all the “shipper” fans of TW.

Pathetic and uncalled for

I thought this bit was utterly terrible and honestly just there to titillate the fangirls. What disturbed me was how casually the shift was from denying the search for missing children and wanting to get back to shagging Ianto.

So unnecessary. yeh fine they can kiss and have a relationship but why so much? BBC Wales should give a thought to those wathing with their dads!

Pretty disgusting really the BBC spending license payers money to produce porn. A handful of decades back people wouldn’t have stood for that kind of filth.

Another silly thing about the show today is the constant shoehorning in of interacial marriages/relationships/etc. I personally don’t care what race someone I date is of, but in general people tend to stick to their own race in society. Off the top of my head we’ve seen:

Mickey/Rose
Martha’s sister/Lazarus
Donna/Lance
Foon/Morvin
Adeola/Boyfriend
Martha’s Dad/Girfriend
Black man trying to romance Sally Sparrow in Blink
Martha/Tom

Well, that’s all very well and good, but it’s too darned civil! This is Doctor Who fandom, people! Why haven’t any of you brought the crazy?

It is also Racist. Where are the black and asian (UK asian not US asian) people working in Torchwood. The percentage of black and asian people in Wales far exceeds the GLB groups (according to the office of statistics from the last censors that gave results).

Ah, there we go, a claim that showing a male/male sex scene is racist. I feel like my understanding of how the world works has been restored.

    Asian people from the UK working at Torchwood? Hey, yeah, that would be a good idea.

  2. I think “UK Asian” refers to Indians and Pakistanis versus…um…other kinds of Asians? Maybe? Where’s my Singapore representation?

  4. A handful of decades back, both people wouldn’t have allowed that fifth if they could see it on their four-inch round screens encased in a piece of furniture the size of an upright piano.
