Goddamn it, Eight counts!

The Next Doctor said so!

I DIDN'T TRUDGE THROUGH ALL OF THOSE EDA'S FOR NOTHING!

[cosmic_celery]

XD How many have you read? I've still only read four or five, but I'll definitely read more once I can get my mitts on 'em.

[bonamoz]

I've gotten through nearly every single one of them. The only reason I haven't been able to eat them all was due to bookstore fail. I'd say, offhand, I'm lacking in probably 10 of them.

And, I had to yoink a Fitz icon for myself!

[wiccagirl24]

Are people saying he doesn't? Silly people.

[studyofrunning]

Who told you otherwise? And do they also think the new series isn't canon?

[cosmic_celery]

Actually, it was the friending meme! I was reading through entries and a bunch of people mentioned Eight with the addendum "...if he counts". For me, he's definitely canon and he's definitely Classic!Who.

[studyofrunning]

Ooooh. I did that, too. I just meant I didn't know if he counted as Classic Who. Some people draw the line at RTD, but others consider the TVM as a previous, less successful attempt at a new series and count it as such. They're kind of both right.

[riverdresses]

DAMN FUCKING STRAIGHT HE DOES. I hold no water with anyone who wants to mindlessly fight about it now that we've seen The Next Doctor - HE'S CANON, PLZ TO BE DEALING WITH IT. If anything, Alt!Nine would be more debatable, wouldn't he?

(& I DID specify in my meme that it encompassed ONE THROUGH EIGHT. So if anything, of course I count him as a classic Doctor. But then again, I'm of the opinion that the new series should have started with Eight. ::cough::)

::sigh:: Exhausting, exhausting. Give him a break!
