Seriously, considering the retcon of doom (which, in my personal canon, exists the way series 3 of Torchwood exists), rewatch this:



And tell me, knowing what you now do, if that isn't the creepiest / most egotistical damned speech Uther could've given.

Somehow, I don't think the writers remembered that scene when writing 3.05.
Dear Olympic Protesters,

At this point, the winter games in BC is a fait accompli.  Nothing you do is going to change that.  Okay, there is, but hopefully, you'll learn from today's fiasco and not go there.  Disrupting the torch run, prior to the planned events at Sick Kids Hospital was a dumb-ass idea. 

Really, are you proud of yourselves for disappointing ill children?  Really?  This is how we show them our concern for society by making their already unfair lives, more disappointing?  

If you think BC's spent money the wrong way, protest in BC.  If you think the money should've been spent on other things, then write to the officials.  There's nothing you can do about that money spent now, and BC sure as hell isn't going to look at your shenanigans (as they were so poorly organized, and tactless that shenanigans is the appropriate word) and say "Hey, we'll cancel it!"  Nope, instead, it'll make people less likely to either acknowledge your current points of protest or pay attention to your points in the future.  Either way, for all the press you'll get tonight, you've screwed yourselves, and some very legitimate concerns, over royally.  Instead, the press will all be negative.  It won't advance any cause with any sort of effectiveness.

You've also disappointed some ill children in the process. Social awareness is important, but in order to foster that, one should be aware of the social implications of what one is doing.

No love,
Spy.
