Love and Monsters is half amazing and half "ugh what were they thinking" which makes it a fitting metaphor for Doctor Who as a whole.

FTFY

I love Doctor Who, but I have to admit while it doesn’t come to quite the same level, it shares with Pro Wrestling the tendency to be intensely embarrassing at times.

Counterpoint: there was no review-bombing campaign against Wonder Woman.

Counter Conterpoint: Wonder Woman wasn't a remake or a sequel to something terminally online shitheads claimed as an integral part of their childhood.

Of course it is very rich that these sort's of organized efforts are so often justified with accusations that the other side is engaging in a far more covert and far reaching conspiracy that needs to counteracted.

and a not minor portion of the first two series were about Rose's relationship with Micky and eventual love for the Doctor, while a lot of series 8 revolved around Clara's relationship with Danny and how that affected her travelling with the Doctor, but then Bill fancying one girl and having a date with another was shoving homosexuality down our throat. almost like these people are disingenuous dinguses :thunkher:

Even here back in the RTD days there was a decent amount of "Gay Agenda!" being thrown around.

He got a lot of justifiable (and quite a lot more nonsensical) flak at the time, but man I miss big gay Rusty the Welsh Giant who loved Doctor Who more than anybody else and loving did something about it. :britain:

Oh for sure. What he lacked in coherent plotting he made up for in sheer enthusiasm for the material that just oozed from every episode. Character stuff felt part and parcel of his time on the show and it has pretty much always felt forced aside from some notable exceptions outside of his run.
