This is why I'm not a wholehearted fan of Mark Watches _________

He misses things. Sometimes it's just subtextual. Sometimes it's RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TEXT, BEING TALKED ABOUT.

From his review of "The Doctor's Wife":



It is not an actual woman Time Lord on screen, but I literally YIPPED with excitement to the answer of a question so many of us have asked: Are Time Lords always dudes? NO. Oh god, is there now a possibility that there could be a woman as a Time Lord? COULD YOU IMAGINE ALL THE SHITTY BACKLASH FROM THE FANDOM. oh god just the very concept sends me into a tizzy of excitement and i have to move on or I will wet myself with joy.



This is awkward because ... well, there's his review of "City of Death", for one thing. And the paragraph right at the top of his review of "The Doctor's Wife" where he talks about having watched "The Armageddon Factor". And there's also a review for "An Unearthly Child".

I mean, come on. He has comments later on where he says he flat out didn't know Romana was a Time Lord. And he watched. "City of Death". *stare*

(Someone else on my DW flist has also commented on this. BUT I FELT LIKE IT DESERVED SOME FLAILING OF MY OWN.)

Yeah. I like his Avatar reviews, because there's a commenter called Shyfully who always has something interesting to say. But generally I don't read his DW reviews that closely.
