sex and death

so apparently i will be reccing at [livejournal.com profile] three_settings this week. check it out if you're curious as to what kind of fic makes me think, "oh that was quite sexy. oh, and also well-written. and i won't mind admitting to that in public. too much." or avoid that, if you're afraid to find out (or already knoooow and wish you didn't D:).

meanwhile, there's a thread on the anonmeme about whether gallifrey and the time lords should be brought back. and so i've been scrolling past this comment all day (which is part of thread where everyone's like, yeah get rid of it for good! stop bringing it up!) and every time i see it it HURTS MY SOUL:

Yeah, but thing is? New canon hasn't really made a case for its absence. I mean, it's present by its constant absence, more so even than Rose was.

other than the fact that that statement doesn't make logical sense (make a case, what?), it's strange to this commenter that the continued absence of the doctor's home planet is "present" within the show? what, is he going to forget he blew it up and wiped every being on it, including his own family, his own children, off the face of the universe? and it's even stranger that this is made more of an issue in the show than rose being gone?

i just. this statement does not compute. of course gallifrey's absence is mentioned more than rose's! GUYS HE DESTROYED HIS ENTIRE SOCIETY, HE COMMITED GENOCIDE AGAINST HIS OWN PEOPLE. HE KILLED HIS OWN CHILDREN. this is more important than a not!girlfriend, even if she was dead, and not alive and healthy with her entire family and an inherited job and inherited wealth. gah!!

sometimes there is good discussion, and often there is lulz! (like when someone wrote a comment personifying murray gold's music). i did get into a discussion on there once with someone who would. not. accept. that i didn't find interpreting the show as a romance between the doctor and rose as plausible. "but the love story is obvious!" "er, which love story? the one where the doctor actually rejects rose and leaves her deliberately in another universe from which she can never come back, when there was absolutely nothing keeping them from being together if that's what he'd wanted? and leaves her with a guy that looks like him but who's apparently half woman and also extremely dangerous, so she can 'fix' him? this is not a persuasive love story to me."
