[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 439991, member: 8"] As a matter of fact, I still haven't seen any of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Doctor stories and that means there's literally future in this particular thread. I have not reached the R.I.P. Doctor part yet. Of course I understand Jock Ewing Fan's concern for the future of the series, but being a fan doesn't mean that we can have it exactly the way we want it. ALL of my favourite TV series are flawed in some way and I have the option to celebrate my favourite parts and ignore the bad ones. Or find something good in the parts that are considered less successful. Or at least have some fun with my own criticism. Sometimes it's the only way to get through the bad parts. The broad strokes criticism that you find in every TV thread here (the decline of Dallas! / Dynasty fans left in droves!) doesn't appeal to me very much. True, this is [I]also[/I] part of the history of all those TV series but there isn't much that you can [I]do[/I] with it apart from repeating that well-known criticism. It becomes a frustration that feeds itself. However, the Doctor Who that may or may not happen isn't real, we can't be a fan of something that doesn't exist yet. [/QUOTE]
