NYT on RTD

[rm]

The New York Times, which almost never gets anything anymore (how often do I start hollering here when they write yet another unbelievably sexist or homoclueless article? how often do I just not even bother at this point?), has a great piece on Russel T. Davies and the whole Who/Torchwood/Sarah Jane thing. Some fab quotes about queer content in the media and about Jack.

Maybe I'll make my parents read it. Because really, everything would be funnier if they just blamed the nature of my existence on intergalactic space pirates.

I am so in love with this haircut, oh my god.

Blaming the nature of my existence on intergalactic space pirates.

This hypothesis would explain so much!;)

My parents have been known to blame some of my traits on early exposure to Barbarella and Buck Rogers.

I LOVE BARBARELLA.

That is all.

Given much of my fashion sense came from Jon Pertwee as the 3rd Doctor, I agree.

In any case, that was a surprisingly excellent article, and I continue to be impressed with RTD, and intrigued with what he'll do next.

Hooray, they actually used the b-word.

I know. And I looked at it in the print edition at my parents house and it's like a full two-page spread with huge pictures (one of the Doctor licking something and one of the Jack/John kiss). Fantastic. It made me feel really proud as both geek and queer.

I saw that article in the paper and was so pleased! Space pirates!

Though I guess I never thought of Jack as a pirate. Still, I've only seen a handful of eps -- maybe when I get caught up I'll be thinking of him as a pirate too. And thanks for the link! The paper version is great, but I can bookmark the online version. :)
