Russell T. Davies

Oh, that, that man! Here he is discussing "Captain Jack Harkness"

AfterElton: I think it's one of the most romantic episodes I've ever seen.
Russell T Davies: I loved the fact the original Captain Jack died the next day. I think it’s hilarious. I think he must have been flying his plane going “No, I’m gay! I’m gay!” Then he crashed. Gayness killed him.

Part of me wants to think he's being sarcastic but even at my blackest, I'd never say such a thing. Is that because I'm coming from a Heterosexual viewpoint? Is this an innocent coping mechanism for dealing with shit in the past for being gay himself?

Because I kind of want to hit something, why would you find that hilarious???

*must stop reading anything that comes out of that man's mouth*

The whole AfterElton Interview

He definitely sounds that way. He got very defensive at the interviewer's word choice and the way things were phrased. Obviously, the interviewer had his opinions but it IS AfterElton who's been mourning Ianto all this time. Did Rusty honestly think they'd just bow down at his feet?

Yes, I got that impression, too. I'd always defended that accusation before that Rusty had gotten with CoE and if there was an after, the show that he had really wanted. Now, it appears that everyone else was more in touch with things than I was.

And after everyone said it was a fraud, or that it belonged to Shameless which made no sense, Torchwood 4 is having a pedophile for shock value or whatever. No mention of whether Esther is still questioning her religion which almost scared me as much as the pedophile. However, with Jane Espenson and Doris Egan, there might be some decent episodes.

I haven't even told my mom about this latest article but when I told her about Starz putting on its Facebook that if you're mean to others, they'll ban you...she asked, Does that include the writers?
