I think part of it has to do with Everyone In Fandom Discovering Slash about four or five years ago. Jack is, er, omnisexual, and the Doctor has never said which team he bats for. Ergo, instant slash, just add water. Slash making the fangirls happy leads to Jack!Lust.
Though I bet they cut the scene where Henriette was all, "OH BOO HOO I AM IMMORTAL AND WILL EMO UNTIL THE END OF THE UNIVERRRRRRRSE!"
Oh, you know they did.
But Casanova totally had his own Norwegian Beach of Pain. Diediedie!
He DID have a painful beach scene, didn't he?
You could forgive Rose a lot because she was young and stupid and disadvantaged, and she gradually moved beyond that (if we pretend that the Doomsday regression never happened and the world is not evil)
Yeah, I did forgive her a lot, and then...the second season happened. Sigh.
but Gwen is irritating because she really ought to know better. Arg. That, and she has no motive/goals. Ever. Rar.
:(
Oh, they're not so much against intelligent action as they are against effective and competent action. If doing nothing can be classified as 'competent'.
Someone, somewhere online, did a bodycount, and across all the aired episodes, the Innuendo Squad has managed to get more people killed than would otherwise have died without their interference.

Let's hear it for uselessness!
