I'm not a massive who expert or fan but I think it's a very good show.
Looking at a lot of the hardcore Who fans, there seem to be a farily sizable (or at least vocal) portion of bitter twisted **** that want to rip the piss out of the series, esp a lot of the 'artistic licence' parts, when with a lot of em you can quite easily resolve a plausible resolution if you just have a bit of a think and SUSPEND YOUR BELIEF!
The amount of people that refuse to do this when watching sci fi, which lets face it ISN'T ******* REAL is beyond belief.
Has it ever occurred to you that maybe some of those fans enjoy the show as a piece of entertainment, but then get additional enjoyment by ripping it to pieces, and then another dose of enjoyment putting it back together?
I just get the impression that many who fans dont even try to enjoy the show, they just eatch to scrutinise it. Obviously if something is done badly then cuss it down, a la TF's done by Dream Wave, who just had no clue about the mythos. But here, the people working on the show know the material and in general do not mess with established ideas, i.e. didn't bend to allow the Daleks to team up with the Cybermen, Daleks then kicked **** out of the Cybermen etc.
Yeah, thought it was great, dont really see why a fairly large chunk of the fan base have problems with the Tylers and Mikey.
As someone who does a lot of scrutinising, I do actually watch the show in order to enjoy it (well, on first viewing at least). On the Tylers, I always thought they were overrated and Rose in particular has started to grate on me this season. I no longer like the character. Mickey, on the other hand, I've loved since his second appearance made him more than just Rose's wimp of a boyfriend.
