I'm not bent out of shape. Not by a longshot. This is fun. think Algonquin Roundtable with vagina jokes.

The Tom Hanks analogy makes no fucking sense at all.
Of course you can like Tom Hanks and not like his movies. Tom Hanks could be the greatest actor in the world or the nicest guy, or more likely in your case, you love him, but if the writing and stories of the movies he is in are shit, why would you like them?

Ok let me fine tune the Tom Hanks analogy. The year is 1985. You say "I like Tom Hanks but hate Bosom Buddies and Splash.

Simple fact is, the characterisations of Pond and Who have been great, as have the lines they deliver, but the stories have been weak and, for the most part, unoriginal.
Why would I continue watching something where in four or five episodes, I have yet to be engaged by the stories?

Personally I feel that a movie/tv story is a combination of acting/writing/production. All of those ingredients matter. Like I say I like Tennant but hate his last season due to the writing/production. But I can say I like Tennant because there are stories he was in that I truly enjoyed. You didn't like the episodes, that's your personal preference (which is very important with Doctor Who obviously) but it seems almost unfair to moffat (moffet?) who is decently respected for his story telling abilities that you give the new actor a break while blasting the scripts moff...steven (stephen?) oversees.
It just strikes me as odd.

Unlike you, Ray, I grew up with The Doctor, I know what I enjoyed, and I know what I didnt. I watched the Doctors I liked, tried the new ones when they came up, and either continued to watch their runs, or turned them off until a new Doctor came along.

But again you blamed the writers and gave Smith a free pass. I like Smith myself, I think his episodes have been decent to great and lightyears beyond series 4. But had I not liked ANY of the episodes I wouldn't blame the writers and gush about Smith.

Why does a comic book series get cancelled after 6 issues or a tv show after one season? Are you saying that they should go on longer because nobody has given them a chance?

Low sales or editorial pressure, same reason a tv show gets cancelled. Not really the point. Also some comic series only last 6 issues. Those are called mini-series.

Fact is, when you said you didnt like one of the previous Doctors, Davidson I think it was, Pro asked you how you couldnt like him.
To which I pointed out you didnt have to defend yourself, yet you seem to think that if I say I dont like something, then I must be on my period.

You take this too personally. I did "explain" myself about Davison (his name is Davison) because that's the whole fucking point of the thread. We are Doctor Who fans discussing Doctor Who. What is the fucking point of coming here, logging in, and saying "it was bad."

I make a statement, which wasnt even angry, and you start doing a rex and saying I am on my period, when quite frankly you are the one pissing and moaning like a little girl, stamping your feet telling me that I am not entitled to voice a simple opinion on something I had high hopes for, and have ended up feeling let down by.

You're new I guess. I didn't do a rex, I did a Ray. It's like comparing a dead hobo with a wheel glued to his ass and a racecar.

Feel free to continue being a retarded Snarf, it suits you.

Again with the Snarf reference that I just don't get. Is this something from Fawlty Towers because I'm sure it was funny but it ended 30 years ago and only aired on PBS here in the states.

Bow ties are coool.
