1) Wait a few weeks for the wank to die down.

2) Get caught up on Torchwood, for crying out loud.

Why are people wanking?

Because stuff happened in the current series, and many people are Unhappy On The Internet.

I should have been more specific, I suppose. Did TW get canceled or just snipped down to a series of specials like Doctor Who did this season? (That was a massive piece of wankage, let me tell you.)

I keep hearing rumors about both cancelation and snippage, but they don't seem bad enough to actually set people off on massive wank-fests.

Well, the five-parter just aired over on the other side of the pond, and most of the fans over here have streamed it. I don't know if there will be a "rest of the season" or not.

It's mostly the events of "Children of Earth" that have the fandom up in arms, though. (I don't think I can be more specific without MASSIVE SPOILERS. I mean, I got spoiled pretty much instantly because I didn't defriend all the Whoniverse and general fandom comms on my flist, but it sounds like you haven't been yet.)

That explains a fair bit of the generic wank I've seen.

...but it sounds like you haven't been yet.

Oh, I don't watch Torchwood. I make fun of it as a crappy spin-off.

There are several other TW fans on my friend's list, but they are all posting really vague, angsty things; I was banking on you being rational, articulate, and low on the angst scale. (All three things have proven to be true. Thank you for not being completely fucking apeshit.)

Yeah--I stumbled on spoilers that have me a bit disturbed. Certainly looks like canning TW from it, doesn't it?
