And it looked like it was going to be a nice day, too

Today is one of those days where I want to resign from the human race. Virginia has elected someone I seriously think they're going to regret. Maine has shamefully voted down basic human rights... and in a pretty unConstitutional manner to boot. (Find me someone arguing gay marriage who isn't citing their religion, and I'll show you... well, a void, because I sure don't know of any. First Amendment, people! You know, the part where we DON'T let religion make our laws?)

And closer to home, I hear James Moran has once again "entertained" his audience with onscreen child snuff. James Moran is permanently on my personal "I'll gouge my eyes out before I spend one minute or one dollar on his work" list.

In regard to James Moran, I think it should be pointed out that RTD planned and wrote the episode in question. And considering how notorious RTD is for re-writing whole scripts, I doubt much of what is actually credited to Mran in Torchwood is his work. (We get a feeling of this in a Writers Tale where Moran's story was mostly re-written by RTD).

The point I'm trying to make is that I don't think Moran can be blamed for the child snuff that featured in Torchwood. It'd be like blaming... I don't know.. Paul Corell for how Martha is treated at the end of the season. Both Cornell and Moran might defend the 'season' they wrote for and the writer/s they worked with, but neither of them wrote the 'offending' episodes.

That said, I have no idea what Moran's recent entertainment was.

I know - and to be blunt, he's also on my shitlist. I'll see Who out, but I have no intention of following anything he does outside the Whoniverse now.

Moran took public credit on his blog and I think on Twitter for being part of the group plotting the overall plot of CoE and saying he supported it all the way. And now that his web-only show has repeated *the* single thing that upset me most about CoE, whether it was his original idea or if he stole it from RTD because he liked it, it still means that he considers torturing small children to death onscreen is dramatically laudable.

I will not be party to that. I won't even lend the dubious support of silence.
