I don't get how they can have a hissy fit over this. Not even Steven Moffat has the balls to pull that shit, and if he did, everyone can yell "DIDN'T HAPPEN" like the half-human thing. Or the four different versions of Gallifrey thing.

This x 1000. I don't get it. We won't hear his actual name, spelled out for us on screen. Never. Not gonna happen.

I can absolutely see Moffat doing this, just because he thinks he can do no wrong, and the one with all the gold rules, etcetera.

....aaaaaand that is why I will not be watching Nu!Who again. Not even with another showrunner. They've gone too far down the soap opera path, and the fandom clearly thinks it's the best thing since sliced bread (I disagree). Even if someone else does come onboard, the fandom will mutiny, etcetera, so the lousy melodrama and scenery-chewing angst will likely continue.

I'll just be over here re-watching every Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker episode ever, thanks.

You do realize how ridiculous this sounds, right? FANS' OPINIONS WILL NEVER CHANGE EVER. When Old Who is a stellar example of how big a change you can make in a show without alienating fans.

You're not going to be physically harmed if you try it with the next showrunner. I mean, no one's forcing you to if you're just not interested, it's your entertainment choice, but your attempt at rationalizing it is ridiculous.

Hey, if fandom changes from squeeing over all the angst and TEH FEEEEEEEEEELS, I will be a very happy nonny. Doesn't seem like they will, from where I'm sitting, given that DW has never been more popular, and these are the reasons cited by the majority of the fandom the show is popular with.

(Tbf I have probably been reading far too much Tumblr.)

If the next run of the show is more like the classic Doctors, and fandom is OK with that (someone complained downthread they found Four "boring", bzuh wut), then I will happily stand corrected. I just honestly don't see it happening, IMO.

Dude? Moffat's not the dictator of all things Who. The Beeb will never let him do it.

I'm not saying your opinion is wrong, everyone has different preferences, but I really hope you're not implying there was no scenery-chewing in Old Who...O.o

ayrt

Of course there was. The difference was that it was intentionally hilarious and camp, and Classic!Who never (from what I could tell) took itself so uber-seriously...and NEVER drowned itself in angst and the soap opera melodrama.
