Davros & Max Capricorn. What a ship!

The trouble with talking about not talking about something is that you end up talking about it.

@HTPBDET

Good grief. Is this “Shipping” an American thing? 

Nope. There was quite a lot of shipping going on in the Harry Potter fandom – until JK Rowling sensibly squashed it by informing us firmly who got […]

@HTPBDET – I think we’d better agree to differ on this one, because you may be thinking that I’m making statements that are ‘a little rich’, but I’m certainly thinking you are. We just disagree, okay? Let’s leave […]

@HTPBDET and @Nick

But you are right: If RTD had been happy with Martha, she would have done Season 4.

And this is what annoys me so much about the whole ‘Martha’ debate. Freema Agyeman, however much you may […]

@Pedant @HTPBDET @Bluespeakpip

I thought I knew what shipping was, but obviously I don’t ! Please elaborate

Nick

@HTPBDET @Nick @Bluesqueakpip

The whole point of Spuffy/ Bangel (or Spangel for that matter) is that SHIPPING IS EVIL. It is a cancer on fan discourse. Shippers are the Tea Party of fandom – and they actively […]

@HTPBDET @Bluesqueakpip

You both obviously know this better than me, but (simply) it seems to me that you have two sorts of actors. Those who can actually act and those who play endless variations of the same […]

@HTPBDET @Pedant

I don’t think RTD had difficulty letting go of Rose…I think he knew exactly what he wanted to do and he did it.

I’m not sure quite the same can be said for AG Who though 🙂

@HTPBDET and @Nick – you have to address him as @Pedant, or he doesn’t get the email.

But I can answer that one: a ‘Spuffy shipper’ is someone who prefers, sometimes very vocally indeed, the Spike/Buffy […]

@HTPBDET

“Intellectual” – I should obviously choose my words more carefully, although as a science graduate all this airy fairy humanities lark never suited me :). What I mean is that what SM is trying to do […]

@HTPBDET

I’ll admit I wondered how you might justify your comment. I rather expected you to refer back to a series of scenes which made it absolutely clear why you were right ! I actually agree with your […]

@HTPBDET @Bluesqueakpip @Shazzbot @Whisht

I’m surprised you didn’t comment on this sentence from HTPBDET above

I never saw Martha as “rebound” girl because I never thought Tennant was in love with […]

@HTPBDET

why use an average one?

Somebody who gets series regular on Doctor Who, series regular on Law and Order UK, series regular on a children’s TV series and series regular on a US TV series is not an […]

@HTPBDET

I must be the only one who doesn’t really see the problem with Martha as a problem with the actress, but I do see it that way.

Well, you do have a tendency to demand rather high standards of the actors. […]

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

@Nick and @HTPBDET – while I’d certainly agree that Freema Agyeman was relatively inexperienced when she got the role of Martha, I don’t think she can really be blamed for a ‘lack of chemistry’. The entire […]

@HTPBDET

please allow @Shazzbot to take your ARSE to the world…

so to speak….

You all have my full permission to legitimise/meme/tweet  whatever ARSE you like.  Tho I resent being attached so closely to them […]

@Arkleseizure @HTPBDET

It was the series 2 Rose/Doctor love in that did it for me more than season 1. RTD clearly meant us to see how a rather unDoctorish Doctor 9 was put back on track by the relationship he […]
