"I don't find the Master all that attractive. Most of fandom seems enchanted with the Master, and I'm not."
I can only say: in our time, evil=hot.
I hate times like this, it's like I'm being left cold by the whole fandom. I used to find Ianto as a character not that fascinating, too. I think he was very, very cute and I'd like to read some fics about him, or about him and Jack, but certainly not to find every one of the fics is about him.
John Simm certainly isn't physically attractive. To find Simm!Master unattractive is perfectly understandable. (Am I the only one who thinks Mr Simm looks like Tintin?) And the writing of the Master is rather silly. He did turn out to have very good chemistry with David Tennant, though. I'd never thought that. Nice surprise.
I've been watching Steve Moffat's 'Jekyll' recently and simply loathe James Nesbitt in it. Then I happened to rewatch DW with a friend, from 'Utopia' to LotTL. Having seen Nesbitt's Jekyll/Hyde, this time I not only think Sir Derek Jacobi is a God, but also find the Simm!Master a whole lot better. When I finished 'Jekyll', I may even find Simm!Master as charismatic as some people said. Who knows.
Well, since I'm doomed to be among the minority, at least this time I can comfort myself that Sam Tyler(John Simm) in 'Life on Mars' cries far better than Ianto in 'Cyberwoman'...
