Fandom strikes again. Way to go, guys.

I've received over a thousand messages from viewers talking about the show. The vast majority have been extremely positive. Even though many of them are upset and shocked, they have managed to express that without making it personal. So to you, I'm extremely grateful. I'm glad you liked the show, and love that it made you respond so strongly. I can't reply to everyone, it'd take weeks, so please accept my thanks.

But the rest of the messages? Unacceptable. Some have been spewing insults and passive aggressive nonsense. Accusing me of deliberately trying to mislead, lie, and hurt people. Telling me I hate the fans, that I'm laughing at them, that I used them, that I'm slapping people in the face, that I've "killed" the show, that I'm a homophobe, that I want to turn the fanbase away and court new, "cooler" viewers, even that I'm hurting depressed people with dark storylines. Asking me to pass on vitriolic, hateful messages to people I love and respect.

Not cool.

These are all things that nobody would dare to say to me in person. But on the internet, it's easy for them to fire off these things. Forgetting that at the other end is me, a real person, someone who has been nothing but open and friendly. But I've been a bit too open, a bit too nice, a bit too willing to explain the thought process behind story decisions. And some people are taking advantage of that, or misinterpreting what it means.

These always that vocal minority that spoil things for everyone else Fan entitlement is becoming such a big problem in the day and age of the Internet. Some of the things Ive seen from fans online this week, not just Torchwood but other shows saddens me.

These always that vocal minority that spoil things for everyone else Fan entitlement is becoming such a big problem in the day and age of the Internet. Some of the things Ive seen from fans online this week, not just Torchwood but other shows saddens me.

It's one of the reasons I don't hang out in the main sections of the forum anymore. And even with my limited presence here I've still been attacked and misinterpreted. I've built up a tolerance to it, though. I'm sure James has, too, but I can understand his frustration... although I imagine his must be even greater since he was actually involved with the production itself. At least he's handled it a lot better than SOME Powers That Be do: he didn't sink to their level.

John Barrowman talks 'Torchwood: Children of Earth'

I'm preparing a feature/review of "Torchwood: Children of Earth," a five-night miniseries that airs on BBC America starting July 20. Based on a viewing of the first three episodes, I posted this rave about the miniseries. I've now seen all five episodes of "Children of Earth" and all I can say is ... I have to watch the last two hours again. I'm still mulling those final installments over, to say the least (it's all I can do not to go to UK Web sites and look for "Torchwood" assessments; the miniseries aired there last week).

You think so? I thought his blog entry was utterly pathetic and he is now noted in my books as a <Snipped by Moderator>. He shouldn't have said anything at all. That way he would have at least kept some of his dignity.
