I...kind of love John Druitt, and I think one of the things I love about him is that he loves Helen Magnus. He loved her when she was forward and a bluestocking and ahead of her time and a doctor. THAT IS WHO HE FELL IN LOVE WITH. So, this thing now... I just. I can't even. I CANNOT EVEN.
And what I keep coming back to is "Normandy" which was so rich with feeling. There was the tension between John and James, and James and Helen, and John and Helen. You got the feeling that they had all loved each other and been in love with each other and probably had sex in every conceivable position. And it's complex and interesting and multi-layered.
And now you give us John as this flat, one-dimensional, idiotic super villain wannabe. Who would like to erase Helen. I don't buy it.
