What are your thoughts on Whoverse?
Originally I wasn't going to post this, but then [info]chaos_theory asked for some Whowank for Christmas. And who am I to say no?

As some of you may remember from a few days ago, [info]batvomit posted on the [info]doctorwho community about the first episode of the last season. I watched 'New Earth' tonight, which reaffirmed my belief that RTD needs to be drug out into the street and shot. (The CW post is here) Well, many posters disagreed with this post and said so in comments.

Fast forward to the next day to this post in which [info]alawston flies in to defend the honour of RTD. Oh yeah and all those who disagree can quite simply, fuck themselves. With a splintered chair leg. Since then, the comm has exploded with posts dealing with Old and New Whoverse. For example, BV feels the need to explain his/her/its comment about RTD being shot. Then we get bemusement over the negative opinions of the new show and finally a post on the "snubbing" of New Who fans.

...dear Internet,

"Drug" is not the past tense for "drag".

While the new series is mostly enjoyable, RTD does tend to write teenage emo-wank.
If anyone wants me, I'll be in the corner with the chair leg.

I, for one, will never say a bad word about RTD, as he's my New Who crack dealer. I'm obsessively in love with that show.

Also, David Tennant is cute like a basket of puppies.

But Chris Eccleston is sexy.

I see that someone missed the memo which explained that, if you want to be taken seriously or respected, flaming and wanking isn't the best way to get your point across.

So many people don't get the memo. :(

I wouldn't say the guy needs to be shot, but I am a little baffled by how much the series changed between season 1 and 2. Tons of Doctor/Rose subtext, hell some of it is like a soap opera. And Rose seems to be whinier and more codependent.

Not that I don't still love the show and lust for David Tennant.

Where does it say anything about oppression in that link? 'Cause of course that's the keyword for 'wank' in Whoverse, but I couldn't find anything on it. Granted, I haven't followed any threads, so I may have missed something in reading the comments.

I'm still flabbergasted that the OP in the oppression post claims that there isn't much of a difference between classic Who & new Who. There's a HUGE differences, starting with the format & ending with the romantic life of the Doctor. Many, many other things in between. Soglad soglad that scarfman manages to say a lot of what I would have tried to say.

& also? New Who rhymes and is fun to say. New Who. Newwho. Newho.

Aww, I was hoping for band-Who wank. I've never seen any anywhere. *sniffle!*

But all the same, I like the newer series just as much as I liked the older series. Rose annoys me at times, but every character has their annoying points sometime or another. Even the Doctor himself.

Wow. That is exactly the reason why I try to stay away from Who fandom. I've seen plenty of old and new Doctor Who and I live in fear of a legion of classic Who enthusiasts lynching me for having David Tennant as my favourite Doctor so far.

Someone hand me that chair leg. Apart from the "OMG, I'm a chav!" bit, I thought "New Earth" was pretty limp.

Personally, though, I think that whoever wrote the opening to "Rise of the Cybermen" is the one who oughtta be shot.

This fandom cracks me up so much. I love it almost as much as I love chocolate. I really need to catch up with all of the new series and somehow acquire some old school eps so I can snark properly. (Oh no, the SciFi channel and the too-expensive broadband services are oppressing meeeee! It's all a conspiracy to drive me out of fandom!)

I just wish the Who fandom would have a Snapes on the Astral Plane moment. It would be so awesome.

And I still think Richard Hammond should be Doctor 11. He would be so awesome.

I quite like New Who, but I like it so much better when it's not RTD writing it. He keeps claiming beginnings and ends of series, and it's just not clicking for me. Which is a shame, because QAF and Casanova were both excellent (though he does seem to have a favourite male character archetype).

Plus, Three is by far my favourite doctor, and I'm not keen on RTD's determination to ship theyoung and pretty Doctors. I miss my old stentorian doctors, the father/teacher figure. Ten especially seems to rely on luck rather than planning, and doesn't seem nearly as competent as many of his predecessors.

I really, really hate it when New Who fans call the new series the New Adventures. Look, that title was already taken way before Eccelston came on the scene!

Although, if we're bringing old companions back, I say we need a Benny cameo. Or reference. Even just in Torchwood. Some throwaway refrence to an archelogist from the future. Wouldn't be hard!

I like Doctor Who just fine, but RTD will always own my soul for creating Stuart Alan Jones. For a long time, the only thing I knew about Doctor Who is that "Paul McGann doesn't count."

And you know what? I don't care what anyone else thinks about her: TEAM ROSE!
