101. Oh hell yes! I've been waiting most of my natural life to get my hands on a good type-two phaser and a Lt. Cmdr., Sciences Division uniform. If this movie can make me look more like Bones (and maybe give us more awesome toys? Full bridge FTW?), then it's already justified itself. Oh, and the Michael Giacchino score CD, which is bound to be incredible.

121. If you do watch it, make sure to get a lot of Orange Tang to drink before the finale.

138. Time to let Bill Cosby do a picture page with you!

143. Because he was a condescending asshole who lived like a stupid punk and died like one too? Yeah, that's pretty much why we all hate him.

169. After last week, I ship Lichman/Wells. (Sorry, John.)

143. Not sure which 'we all' you're referring to there. Reading through the comments in response to that secret, I have found only three (including yours) that express such an opinion (and only you used the word 'hate'). The others have all said that they like him (or even love him). And I'm sure I once saw a thread on the Doctor Who Forum about him in which the vast majority of people said that, at worst, they find him mildly annoying. Are you sure you're not actually outnumbered?

I'd also like to say that I would never describe a character in such terms when speaking to someone who has just said that they love said character. Maybe you don't give a damn what people say about YOUR favorite characters, but whoever posted that secret might care. I know someone who cares a lot (badmouth Adric, and she'll get quite seriously upset). I care a lot. He genuinely is one of my favorite characters. I think he's adorable.

You may find him annoying, but not everyone does. We may be a small fanbase, but we're very devoted.

Reading it back, I guess I did overreact. I just finished watching "Earthshock" again, and I continue to be stunned by Adric's actions in that serial, and feel that they're indicative of his tenure. He seems to put both himself and others in danger just to demonstrate and test his enormous intelligence, and it felt to me to be recklessly irresponsible, especially for someone traveling with The Doctor. Companions have been booted for lesser infractions, and it did seem to me that Adric stayed only as a MacGuffin, a know-it-all character who served mostly to get other characters out of situations with his big brain. He reminds me a lot of the early Wesley Crusher, another character who brings out vitriolic reactions. I've never liked him, but that may have been because I felt he never learned, and never took full advantage of what The Doctor could have taught him. If only he had been less arrogant, then maybe he would have survived and evolved into a more sympathetic character for me.

But yes, my first reaction was knee-jerk and out of line. I shot my mouth off in a place where loud opinions have often caused long, unreasonable arguments, and I should have taken more time to reason out my comments. Please forgive any offense I might have caused to you and other fans of the character; I know I wouldn't want to hear my favorites disparaged in such a manner.

It's okay. And thank you - the last time I replied to a comment like that, I got no response at all, which was annoying.

People say that about Earthshock a lot, and... I just don't get it. I don't know what part you're referring to. I never saw him choosing to stay on the freighter when the others left as trying to test himself. As far as he was concerned, if he left, the earth would be destroyed.
So yeah. I don't get it at all.

I'm aware that he's very annoying at times. But then again, so are most of the teenage boys I know. And a lot of them are bloody arrogant as well. I'm seventeen, nearly eighteen, and that's around the age I always thought Adric was. The way I see it, if he hadn't died when he did, he probably would have grown out of it.
