Dear Doctor Who fandom

LET THE WANK BEGIN!

_{Honestly, I'm a little disappointed, but not devastated. Part of the whole fading up on fandom thing, I suppose. But this ought to cause epic wank *gets popcorn*}

Ahh, so THAT's why The Doctor Who Forum isn't loading. This'll be fun. Very, very fun.

Also, R.E. the news... susprisingly not that disappointed.

I toddled by to see how they were reacting, and yeah, it's a no-go.

Me too, actually. The fact my interest in Who had been fading recently is a big part of this, mind.

It probably won't be anywhere near as bad as what happened when Eccleston left, but the wank's most definitely going to be flowing thick and fast.

I think it's partly due to the fact that they sort of removed the Doctor's edge a bit in season four. All this "THERE IS NOT HIGHER AUTHORITY THAN ME RAAAR" stuff grated after a bit, and I was dismayed by moments like the Doctor apologising after the "Who do you think made your clothes?" scene in Planet of the Ood. I'll be sad to see Tennant go in the sense that when he was great he was great, but I can't help but feel Ten got a pretty bum deal characterisation-wise towards the end.

True, that was a surprise whereas this has been waited on for a while.

I faded on Ten as a character during S3, what with him being a jerk to Martha, and while S4 didn't make it any worse, it didn't repair anything, either.

But you're right: When he was great, he was great, but he was also given a lot of dodgy stuff to do.
