Maybe they learned from that and will do better this time around. *hopes*
Wellll... I'm pretty sure I saw an interview where RTD was pleased with the "writing it by the seat of our pants" process... I think sometimes showrunners and fans have different definitions of what "works." I'm interested in writing TV myself, and already I see this weird transformation happening, moving me from the fan place to some other weird place where I'm all, "Continuity? Worldbuilding? What? Just get the fucker done." It's scary and strange!
re: having faith I have a bad habit of giving TV writers no credit (and then suddenly jumping to their defense when fellow fans dis 'em; it's weird). I lovelovelove the new Who, and I love what RTD's doing with it; what I meant when I commented was more like... I think what we see as a problem, I'm wondering if RTD doesn't, if what we're finding off-putting is something he likes and gets a charge out of. I could easily see and even understand a big ol' DW fanboy getting a charge out of writing a character that was the Moral Authority of The Universe.
But I wasn't trying to piss in your Cheerios or anything -- I'm sorry. :)
