First and most important, welcome sabadine! YAY.

Shoot me if I bother with any DW comms in future. ( I'm tired of... many things. No point reading, I'm just letting off steam )

narked, arjuna is an intolerant old bat, doctor who, fandom wank, family

*pets you in your fandom frustration*

The only comm I go anywhere near is the one I still mod, and I check OG for spoilers. And that's it. Because dear god, I'm way too old for this crap.

BLUM IS NOT RIGHT. EVER.

And Rusty? He put together an interesting concept with New Who, but his and his team's execution is far from genius on a week-to-week basis. You're not imagining it. I have no Old School axe to grind, I just know what I see.

*paroxysms* so it's not just me then You have no idea how much better I feel, reading that :) Especially the recent suggestion that all the "hate" in fandom stems from some form of jealousy (IIRC, people's loss (with age) of the ability to self-insert as Beloved Companion, or something). Wha?

I think you're right about TPTB - even the things that annoy me most about Nu Who would (probably) nark me less, done differently (or less often, come to that).

QFT.

I poke an eye into the Pagoda occasionally, but it seems to mostly be everyone else bagging out Kitson for having critical faculties and applying them to the show.
