To the people throwing a tantrum about Benedict Cumberbatch being white and playing Kahn:

jennybot221:

What about Zoe Saldana? She’s not African American. Her father was Dominican and her mother was Puerto Rican, and I don’t hear people complaining about her playing Uhura.

Secondly, the character’s name is Khan Noonien Singh. That is an Indian name. The original actor who played him was Ricardo Montalban. He was Mexican. 

You’re missing the point. It’s still white washing. White washing prevents people of color from being represented in the movie industry. Yes, Zoe and Ricardo were not the correct ethnicities for their characters, but the point was that they were people of color. They added racial diversity to an otherwise very white cast, and they are in an industry that doesn’t often provide them with good roles. There’s nothing wrong with Benedict Cumberbatch as an actor; I love the guy. But as a white man, he has many more acting opportunities based on the color of his skin alone. By taking that part in a very popular big budget movie, another actor of color couldn’t get a job. That’s why people are upset. For the record, I’m white and I still see the problem with this casting. There was a post going around awhile ago about other actors that could have been chosen, and they looked amazing. There were some very famous bollywood stars that had the correct ethnicity, the talent, and were extremely good-looking…>_>. Hope that sheds some light on the situation.

Dirty Wasted Youth: Has anybody ever even stopped to think that maybe, just maybe Tentoo...

fuckyeahlits:

Has anybody ever even stopped to think that maybe, just maybe Tentoo and Rose didn’t work out?
I mean, relationships fall apart all the time. Not to mention the fact that Tentoo is very different from actual Doctor, he has a whole lot of Donna in him. That could’ve changed their dynamic…

I’m pretty sure they’ve separated. I never really saw Rose and the Doctor being truly in love so much as good timing and circumstance rather than actually having anything in common. In series 1, the Time War caused Nine to be very needy, jealous, and angry. It was off putting, but he eventually grew out of it. Rose started out alright, but then eventually became possessive and a bit mean spirited (probably as a result of the way Nine treated her). If the Doctor hadn’t of been damaged after the Time War, I don’t think they would have become an item at all. Their relationship always struck me as unhealthy and was heavily over glorified. It made me dislike them both when they were together. Also, Tentoo didn’t have much say in whether he wanted to stay in the alternate universe or not. Ten basically exiled him there, so that Rose could “fix” him…okay? Yeah, Tentoo killed a bunch of Daleks, but so did Rose when she was Bad Wolf, and she didn’t need to be “fixed.” And then I’m supposed to be all happy for him? Plus, there’s no way the Doctor would be happy being stuck on Earth. Their whole relationship seemed more like wish fulfillment on Rose’s side. Like, this is what a teenage girl would want, not necessarily what the Doctor would want.

erikatalks:

Rose Tyler, the woman so important to the Doctor that the first fucking episode of New Who was named after her.

That’s not true. Rose was very important to Russell T. Davies, head writer at the time. Having the first episode titled Rose doesn’t make her more important to the Doctor then other companions, Classic or New Who.

The Gentlemen, Hush

I just watched the episode Hush from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It was amazing and the villains were horrifying, but I had a lot of questions afterward…

First, if they only needed seven hearts, then how come they kept passing up on people? Are they just really picky about the kind of hearts they get? Why did they want the hearts to begin with? If hearing a human voice kills them, then how did they get into town to begin with? Where did they come from? I know they’re a fairy tale creature, but…where did it come from? I only watched this episode once, so maybe I didn’t pay close enough attention. Does anyone know? Thanks!
