Don't feel too bad. I've been watching some Third Doctor serials and they're just.......my god. The characters are awesome enough for me to keep watching, and hell, the plots are ok if nothing to write home about, but the special effects? OWCH.

I think having a deep love of Classic Who is most prevalent -- and most understandable -- in people who were actually alive when it aired. I'm 18 and way too young to have seen the old stuff, so I personally can't get past the people in rubber dinosaur suits, and I suspect it's the same for many members of the younger sect. Of course, maybe you're forty or something, I'm just assuming here.

Er, though, I'll admit I'd be fairly disappointed if it turned out you only watch the show because TEN IS TEH HAWT.

I'm 16 and I prefer Classic Who to New Who, partially because of the bad special effects.

[femaelstrom27.livejournal.com]

.........

D: I hate being proved wrong.

I kinda look shallow now, haha. Don't get me wrong, I am thoroughly enjoying "Doctor Who and the Silurians," but I do giggle -- a lot -- at the special effects.

[bodyline.livejournal.com]

I laugh my ass off at all the terrible special effects. Really, it makes the whole thing all that much more enjoyable and cracktastic, as opposed to New Who where everything is so dark and serious and dramatic.

[oldstarnewshine.livejournal.com]

I got into the series through the New Who, but I am in love with Classic. I just take the effects for what they are: pretty good for a 70s show on a not-nearly-as-large budget. In forty years, I'm sure our children will laugh at the 'dated' effects in the Nine/Ten era. *shrug*

[madamotaku.livejournal.com]

Hell, I'M laughing at them NOW. CGI Gollum Doctor? Gah!

TSE/Epiode-with-the-title-that-was-apparntly-too-spoilery-for-release CGI was actually VERY 70s in some parts.

I'm in my twenties and I much prefer Classic Who.
The storytelling is a million times better and I prefer my Doctor to not want to bone anything that has tits and two legs that walks into the Tardis.

OMG you mean the new Who has the Doctor banging chicks in the series? I have to start watching them now.

I came into the fandom via the new series but having gone back now and watched old skool Who, I prefer it immensely. Special effects mean nothing to me. I want strong storytelling, strong acting, and brilliant ideas. I think scifi gets bogged down in the spectacle and forgets that it's a genre about IDEAS. Old skool Doctor Who was all about ideas. And the small budget makes it even better.

(Late reply, whoo.)

Not so! I'm twenty-one, so TECHNICALLY I was alive during the last few years, but I certainly wasn't watching it. (Both of my parents are fans from way back, though, so I think the geekiness is genetic ^_~) The first one I ever saw was Bad Wolf, but now I adore both - old and new (with possibly a slight preference towards the classic stuff).

I guess you need a certian... I dunno, mindset to appreciate old Who? The first classic serial I saw was The Mind of Evil - a black and white Third Doctor serial, six episodes long, with terrifying effects and music XD But it just... grabbed me. Today, my favourite Doctor is classic (Fivey, woot!), three of my top five companions (Turlough, Fitz - who sorta counts, and Sarah Jane), and a lot of my favourite serials are classic.

But then, I also adore new Who, so XD

Er XD Basically, a rambly way of saying, "I'm twenty-one, and I like both! ^_^"

But yeah. Love the classics ^_^
