[QUOTE="horacethegrey, post: 3123528, member: 40123"] So even if I watched the 30+ year run of Doctor Who, my opinion on it is automatically discounted because it's stored in my hard drive? That's some pretty flawed logic there. :p Seriously though, if the original series was available on video where I live, I'd probably get it. But since it isn't, I have my satisfy my hunger for more Who by downloading the old serials. Now I'm not gonna pretend it's right nor justify my reasons for doing so, but I'm doing it anyway, so take from that what you will. I can't help it if the new series has made me such a fan. Oh, and I strongly dislike those segments of fandom you mentioned. For me, those are the type of fans who turn off new fans from the fold. What with their supposed superiority in having watched all of a particular series' episodes, or collected all the merchandise and whatnot, or read all the spinoffs, etc, etc. It's bloody fanboy elitism at it's worst, and I've seen it on a number of fandom message boards that I've frequented. I can understand that. It's when they call me an idiot for liking the new series just because it messes with their so called [B]idealiistic [/B] vision of the show is when I take issue. I strongly dislike those who shove their opinion down my throat. And besides, hasn't the show gone through a lot of changes over it's long run? So how can one say that there's a definite vision of Doctor Who? I too have some dislikes with the new series. Tennant's Doctor is a bit too goofy for my taste (alhtough I do enjoy his performance overall), not like Eccleston's Doctor (my fave), who gave the part some pathos and occasional darkness. Anyway, I'm ending my little rant here, lest this thread go far off topic. [/QUOTE]
