"OH GOD, did you see the excerpt from his book where he was thinking of who he could kill for the s4 finale, and was like, 'well, i can't kill any of the central characters, that'd be terrible! but i could kill mickey, yeah! but i don't think i will, even if people say, THAT'S SO PC, TO NOT KILL THE ONLY BLACK MALE CHARACTER. bah, i don't even care if it's PC!' "
......so he's applauding his own profound political bravery in not killing off the show's only regular male character of color, which character got continuously derided as an "idiot" and useless and a "tin dog" and a "zero" through his entire run and had to get away from the Doctor in another universe to develop any sense of self-worth? Goddamn, if rampant egotism could fly RTD's brain is O'Hare Airport. And if Rosita makes it to the fifty-minute mark of the Christmas special before biting it, I'll be sincerely shocked and I won't be the only one.
