I Love How, Whenever Something Remotely Gay (or Bi) Happens In A Totally Different Fandom, The Supernatural

I love how, whenever something remotely gay (or Bi) happens in a totally different fandom, the Supernatural fandom is immediately summoned, like some kind of ancient entity, forever cursed to witness others receive what they never got to have.

So we all agree, that the plot was fine, but the real star of season two was Ed's hair?

Rogue is 100% coming back, and here is why.

Normally I'm not one to throw out theories, but I just have to here.

As a writer, who also works in publishing, the first rule you learn is: No unnecessary details. Why? Because details cost money. Every word in a manuscript costs money, every minute in an Audiobook costs money and even more so, every second, every line, every prop on a screen costs money.

And there were just too many details. Sure, you need some detail to not let the story feel flat, details are important, always, but here it were just so many.

The line about the new boss, Rouge's lost partner, the ring (Prop!), the bouquet (Prop!)... Sure, all were wonderful, but ultimately not really necessary, what they were however doing, is building a deep, layered Character, and why would they need this, if they really were just going to use him once.

But most importantly, the tiny, "insignificant" moment, where the Doctor changes the Triangle to no longer kill, but transport. Why would they have added this, if not for a character they plan to bring back to get trapped in it. No, it needed to be changed, so that Rogue can realistically come back, so that he can be found.

And let's be honest, that chemistry was too good to just let it go.

Also, if Doctor Who loves one thing, it's closure. No unfinished business, by any means necessary. And the Doctor falling head over heels, accepting his ring, kissing him and then loosing him is not unfinished business, I don't know what is. (Also, "Find me"? Hello?)

I may of course be completely wrong, but let's remember that River died in her first episode and later came back because there still was a story to tell.

My theory, or hope, is, that Rogue becomes the new River/Jack. The Doctor's sporadic spouse, popping in and out of the plot.

Feel free to add to this, scream at me in the comments or prove me wrong.

There is something really interesting about observing the recent events in this fandom from the outside after not having been active in it for a while. For six seasons it was BuckAndEddie and no-one else, they were the OTP, the ride or die, but the second Tommy came into the picture, the fandom seems too have decided collectively decided that now it's BuckAndTommy, and suddenly it's Eddie Who? Never heard of him. And I must say, there is something incredibly fascinating, but also really sad about that. (And before anyone comes at me, I am thrilled for the developments, especially the Bi Rep, it's a huge deal and I'm so happy ABC came through!)

If I has a Nickel every time Lewis Pullman played a clueless dude named Bob in an Action Movie, I‘d have two Nickels. Which isn‘t a lot but it‘s weird it happened twice.

I love how the Navy made Top Gun for propaganda purposes and the fandom went like… tough luck, it’s gay now. (But for real how can anyone look at a single interaction between Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer and think to themselves “Jupp, that’s a perfectly heterosexual thing to do”?!)
