Ugh. I don't watch Doctor Who, I know nothing of Amy and River Song (except my flist thinks they're awesome which is good enough for me), and I'm not sure exactly what *happened* in the final scene he's describing (which is par for the course for Jacob's "recaps", you know). But yeah... wow. Not okay. Not okay in the guise of being ~ironic~ and some kind of ~progressive commentary~ on the show's sexism which may or may not be there. Jacob psychology is based on projection. :p
Also, LOL spoons? *shakes head in exasperation*
But mostly ((hugs)) because I KNOW, GIRL. I used to *devour* Jacob's recaps. They made me ~think~. One made me cry! I used to kiss his ass all over TWOP and his journal. Those bits of his Daybreak criticism you quoted *remain insightful* and I don't doubt that I saw something genuinely smart and groovy in his other writings once. And it's just... so, so hard to reconcile that with the arrogant, nasty side of him that's always showing now, and the sexist bile he spews all over his LJ and that sneaks into his recaps.
