But, I think this “good riddance” attitude we’re seeing from long time fans is misplaced. We shouldn’t dismiss the Doctor’s newest admirers as “fake fans” and assume that their interest in the series’ is purely sexual. Rather, I think a lot of young fans have come to see the series as their own, something that represents their generation and something they will look back upon fondly as part of growing up. Rather than telling young fans to “leave and never come back,” real Doctor Who fans should be reassuring their younger counterparts with sentiments like – Give the new Doctor a chance. – This is the way the show works. – You’ll see, he’s still the Doctor. – This is going to be great!John Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12082399148976412442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4788917543870877676.post-79490809080603245692013-08-08T21:42:32.274-04:002013-08-08T21:42:32.274-04:00I think what Jeff was trying to say that there app...I think what Jeff was trying to say that there appears to be a lot of people online going to the extreme direction of only wanting a good looking young Doctor and he is directing his comments at them. There is no problem with someone thinking Pertwee or Davison is cute just as Smith or Tennant can be cute. But to base this on the main reason you watch a show is ridiculous. Many people online (and it is no way a majority) are hating the decision but that always happens every single time by the way. Lets give him a chance. As for the sexual tension, no matter what anyone thinks they say with the classic series, there was no sexual tension in any Doctor- companion combination. Anything you might have seen is a stretch of your own imagination. The new series thrives on this 'sexual tension' to a degree but it doesn't have to. Why can't people have a friendship relationship without that tension. I think 10 and Donna had it and that was the best combo since 4 and Sarah.SHADOKPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03270267556567658026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4788917543870877676.post-11735586376898062912013-08-08T11:39:12.852-04:002013-08-08T11:39:12.852-04:00His passion for the sow will make him a great Doct...His passion for the sow will make him a great Doctor Jeff.Maurice Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338165486757095191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4788917543870877676.post-84846796610808844352013-08-08T10:04:38.063-04:002013-08-08T10:04:38.063-04:00So how did the so called "fake fans" rui...So how did the so called "fake fans" ruin the show? Sexual tension creates an atmosphere for good storytelling. Peter Davison was an attractive man and I'm sure many women fantasized about him. For you to dismiss anyone from watching "your" show makes you sound like an elitist ass. Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15526556318762888896noreply@blogger.com
