I'm not in the field or anything, but I'm pretty sure that they don't, but networks have to monitor those closely either way. I don't know that low Nielsen ratings but big numbers from stuff like Amazon or the Apple store hurt an individual show like they used to; they just make networks re-think the model for how they deliver content and negotiate who can carry it.

Hmmm.

I ask because I really want to help thwart that rear end in a top hat who's predicting a huge drop off in week two and I figure I could buy the show on every goddamned platform it was available on and quietly encourage others to do so as well.

It's hilarious how in The Three Doctors the First Doctor is so respected he's what it takes to get Two and Three to work together, when later stuff makes it so the majority of his incarnations see him as their lovely teenager phase.

I seem to remember a theory that the Doctor aged mentally backwards in a way. Sort of like Mirth in the Mage comics.

No it's 11. I'm sorry, but bowties are not cool and are pretty much only worn by human refuse IRL.

10/11 are responsible for the show becoming the huger international monster that it has and of course we have to see idiots dressing like them IRL every day now.

I have been pretty outspoken about how much I love the 11/12 control room. It just felt right to me. Like a proper throwback to the early designs. The organic ones don't work for me and I hated 11's first design.

No what I meant was how much different the 96 console room was from all previous versions.

Still has a recognizable control console with a time rotor. Hell if you look at the elevated area just around the console it almost looks like the Doctor just dropped the immediate walls. The new crystal design feels very wrong to me.
