one of my biggest pet peeves (torchwood edition) is people definitively calling jack "american" like,,, he's not..? he may have assumed the identity of a 20th century american but he's from a landmass called the boeshane peninsula on an unnamed planet, which may have settlers originating from present day america, but is also so far in the future that human genetics isn't even "100% human" anymore

fuck it. throw david tennant in as the master next. "hey i stole your face. you really liked this one, right? you keep using it." he'd have fun.

shakes torchwood around what if protagonists could be so morally gray

[doctorwhotw]

jack driving a tractor into a house like the dramatic bitch he is. countrycide more like CUNTrycide am i right

anyway-

this is Rose, this is Rose's boyfriend Jack and his boyfriend Ianto. This is the Doctor, he is Rose's husband and also Jack's husband.

This is River, she is Rose + Doctor + Missy's wife, Clara's girlfriend, and Jack is her boyfriend.

(you with me?)

Then this is Clara's fiance Danny. And over there is Clara's wives, Rose, River, and Missy. Oh- and her boyfriend the Doctor.

And here is Missy, her wives are Rose, River, and Clara. Then here's her husband the Doctor.

Over here is Martha who is Rose's girlfriend, and here's her husband Mickey.

In that direction we have Yaz and her situationship with the Doctor.

....and i think that's it.

The Doctor’s pacifism always had a few weird holes in it, but I think my favorite is when Twelve is upset with Clara for dating Danny because he's a soldier and soldiers kill people. Meanwhile, Vastra, one of his long-time friends across multiple regenerations, eats people.

i HAATTTEEEE how the doctor who fandom treats danny pink. your boyfriend caring about your safety is abusive? asking for honesty is not abuse. and how can you claim to hate him because he's a soldier?! lmao? but you love the doctor?! the man who was so ashamed of his actions in the war that he hid his incarnation from himself?

danny vs 12 is actually some really good and meaty story that goes over everyone's head because 'HoW DaRE hE iNSuLt HiM'. that scene when he salutes and asks for orders is genius. because danny can SMELL the soldier on him. because he is one. danny can admit he was a solider. but the doctor cannot.

imagine hating danny for being a soldier but stanning the man who did a genocide. not even that, the man who has barked orders at companions in the past. the man who drove a woman to suicide?

the doctor is not a saint, and he hated danny because he was projecting. come on.

Watching Torchwood because it's on iPlayer and oh God I need to talk about the whole "Jack ruined Tosh and Owen's lives to recruit them" theory that @alone-on-takodana and I talked through...

The thrust of the Tosh argument is that what happened to her really doesn't feel like UNIT's style. Like, they're problematic in their own way, like any military or quasi military organisation, but they're very much presented as being generally speaking a force for good.

It is, on the other hand, 100% the kind of shit that Torchwood (as we initially come to know it in DW) would pull. Both the locking someone up with no chance of appeal or of ever seeing their family, and lbr the very real possibility that the whole thing was a set up.

Because it does all stink of a set up. Tosh being exactly what Jack needed for his team, and here she is all desperate and isolated from everyone she knows and loves...

Not to mention just... how is Jack, who works for Torchwood, authorised to release a UNIT prisoner into Torchwood's custody? I can't remember if there's a reason given in the episode, but it honestly makes far more sense if it's actually Torchwood that had her locked up.

What happened with Owen is honestly even fucking creepier.

The question with Owen all stems from the matter of why exactly they didn't retcon him.

The only reason why they wouldn't have immediately retconned him, is if they wanted to recruit him.

The only reason they would want to recruit him, is if they had already been observing him for a while, seen how he kept searching for answers, wouldn't give up...

If they had been observing him for a while... why couldn't they have stepped in earlier? Even if Katie was a lost cause as soon as she was infected, why not step in and at least save the surgical team? The only REASON they could have for observing would be if they KNEW about the parasite, or at the very least suspected, why let it go on that long?

Because they needed Owen. Just like they needed Tosh. They needed a medic, and a bloody good one, who was brilliant and dedicated, and ALONE. So they let Katie die, let Owen's best friend die, let Owen seem crazy so he's alienated from everyone else he knows.

And that's assuming that all they did was let it happen... that they didn't MAKE it happen. That they didn't pick out someone who was already very isolated, no family who would miss him, and destroy what life he'd built so that he'd be vulnerable enough to join them...

And let's not pretend like this shit is beyond Jack. Like he's above this. He gave all those kids to the 456, he could absolutely have set Tosh up and imprisoned her, he could definitely have put a parasite in Katie's brain. You know, for the greater good.
