i have nothing but contempt for the sniggering fan boys who've come on here rubbing their hands in glee at the departure of rtd, and of course anyone who actually enjoys the show must be a fool or 'retarded', because if its not the show they want then that means the show is rubbish, after all it couldn't just be that they have lousy taste could it? no that's unthinkable, they're right and the millions who watch every week are wrong! pathetic as well as contemptible. |

not even going to wade in to the debate - i did think it was poor form to post commentary in the middle of a story tho that's what the board is for. give me the news, if i want insipid commentary i will watch foxnews. plus while rtd is stepping down i am sure he will still write an ep or 2 for season 5 - and what does this mean for torchwood? and the sja? will steven take over all three shows as exec? i don't know the british writers guild rules at all, does sm get a royalty for creating cap. jack? i do think that rtd's departure definatly set the 4 specials up to be a timewar story. i can't see him leaving the show without doing it, letting someone else tell do it. i am pro donna. so nice to have an adult companion who is not fawningly in love with the doctor, someone who can stand up to him. (the relationship reminds me a little of romana early on, even tho donna is clearly not his intellectual equal, she certainly is his moral equal. so any thoughts on what this means on david staying on for series 5? richard coyle as the doctor anyone? or tom nesbitt? i certainly see steven making more links back to the orginal series, a proper multi-doctor story? |

i don't mean to be rude guys ... but he's right. you'll find a larger percentage of people over the age of 10 telling you it's a load of rubbish. the definition of a family show is not that people over the age of 10 find it crap. the definition of a family show is that people of all ages can sit down with their families and watch it. call us retards, call us homophobics. you're just mad we're not spouting the same opinion as you. and i'll have you know i'm not a retard, nor a homophobic. only time i dislike the gay community is when it is being shoved in my face on a tv show. gay-specific shows like the l word and queer as folk - yes. but i don't want to tune into a science fiction show to see boys kissing boys.

ok, my personal opinion. note that *my* personal opinion. rtd brought back dr who. a cult classic childrens show (yes guys, childrens show), that had been shelved for far to long. he has built it up, and kept it going for almost 4 seasons, and created 2 spin offs, both of which are also popular in their own right now. (well, torchwood at least is, sja will get there) he even brought it into family show territory. although i'm thinking its turned more into adult or at least a pg rated show. some of those monsters are too scary for kids now. he introduced a try-sexual (spelling intentional) character that is turned into one of the most loved characters in the who-niverse. it isn't overly shoved in your face, unless you are homophobic and are sensitive to anything not mainstream. homosexuality is becoming mainstream these days, no-one jumps up and down about men kissing women do they? there is no difference except for an outdated stigma, so who cares if jack is gay/bi/tri. don't like it, don't watch, and don't bitch. yes, rtd started to lose his way a little. the quality just wasn't quite the same but you name one show that the same writer helmed that kept its quality all the way through. i am insanely grateful, and respecting of rtd for resurrecting a show i loved in my childhood, and for knowing when to step down. i hope he continues to have a hand in the show. and i also like donna. started out hating her in the xmas special, but shes grown on me. i love having a companion that isn't trying to marry/seduce/kiss/trap/boink the dr. one that gives him a hard time instead of following him like a puppy dog. ok, thats my 2 cents. off to rewatch a few torchwood eps now

i don't see why people have a problem with the gay thing on torchwood. anyway there is only one gay bloke, ianto, cpt. jack is from the future where everyone f*cks everything, same with the character james marsters played (can't remember his name). i was reading comments about torchwood on imdb and 1 said 'it's a shame they show homosexual behaviour, if it wasn't for this i'd let my kids watch.' does this person think the gays are gonna corrupt his kids or something? |

why did news of rtd going have to turn into a bitch about the companions? donna is great, as were the other two. i'm glad that rtd is going but only because he is being replaced by stephen moffat who has written the best episodes throughout series 1-4. rtds episodes were off-track and the show needs a writer like moffat or at least a producer who choses good writers for every episode. what''s the point of continuing to watch the show if you hate it?! i love it, it's pretty good now, but bringing in moffat will make it fantastic. keep donna and maybe rose. martha is nice enough but a bit boring. |

awful post. ungrateful, subjective, annoying. i'll miss rtd, he's amazing and turned this show into something good(compared to the old crap). moffat is amazing too, so i hope he'll continue to create awesome doctor who episodes. btw, lol @ all the homophobes and their low iq. |
