I loved Meg for the most part, but then S7 and 8 hit, and I was just like, WTF happened? I found her character to be very badly-written, and shoehorned into most of her episodes :(
Heh, I'm the oposite of that, but perhaps we can agree she was very different...
no matter how much they saved for an epic battle scene, there's no way they could've made it believable. It's hard enough for multi-million dollar Hollywood films to pull it off!
One of my troubles with my own writing, is the big action scenes. So many times it's just never finished, a bunch of scenes tagged with "here they run through corridors" that I never manage to write. I just don't care. I don't. Unless it's also a scene about other sorts of development, I just don't care. So I'm a fan of the way they did it there. And less of a fan of the second LotR movie.
Oh my gosh, I don't know how this didn't occur to me earlier, but YES. John is one of those characters that I think really gets shortchanged in fandom. He so often gets painted as a flat-out abusive father (if not worse). Which he is, but there's a lot to his character that could be explored, but I so rarely see it. Which is a little surprising since we got so much more insight into his backstory with "Time After Time".
IA. Perhaps some people who love writing John are already too used to the way they've been seeing him since s1, and some new people don't care as much about him cause they're more invested in current canon? [and I don't have the time to write it like it deserves to be written... though it would be much more interesting than my homework, ugh]
