calyx made me go look at TWoP's DW recaplette for The Girl in the Fireplace and so you get this. Hey, is this one of those meta things you should ignore? Yes. Yes, it is.

*DEEP HEAVY SIGH* God, I have just so, so many problems with TGitF. Jacob, however, seems to have a hard-on for it and may have actually had an orgasm during the recaplette - not exactly sure. Fine, whatever. People can love what they love.

But any time I get the urge to actually air my multiple "um...WTF?"s with this episode, I feel like it'll simply be written off since I'm one of those insane shippers. See, I think it *could* have been done soooo much better. And coming off of School Reunion, which in my opinion was next to perfect (how much did I love that episode? *bows*), it's just so...GAH. TGitF - full of character development backtracking (no, not talking about D/R), fast-forward cheats (God, I could write paragraphs on that alone - *really* pushed my WTF button since there ARE no easy relationship answers for ANYONE - don't care who the hell you are or how much you think that no one "gets" you, which, DUH, happens if you're a fucking emotional recluse), and the Doctor actually gets up to that grating level in the episode, which I just hate.

But I'm not going to get into it all since right now I've got a "why bother?" attitude about much of DW meta. One thing about this fandom is that most have hard and fast opinions that are *not* going to change by anyone else's words. And I'm just not in the mood for a debate right now. Besides, I'm an insane shipper. I'm supposed to hate this episode, but it can't be for any reason but OTP angst, right?
