It really does astonish me how out of step I am with the majority of Who LJ fandom. They also mostly hate (well the ones on my Who community anyway) River Song with a firey passion, for really no other reason I can see than 'GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY DOCTOR YOU WHORE!'
It just... baffles me so much when I see a fairly large number of posters expressing disappointment with this season, and wishing it had more mindless running and shouting and arm waving and cringeworthy pathetic attempts at 'plotting', and shitty awful characterisation, and all of the other things that RTD became known for.
I can only conclude that maybe this season has been liked less because its generally been a lot more complex and multi-textured than ever before?
