Fandom gossip is THE BEST gossip. Also during The Wilderness Years there were the NAs so the people wedded to the Cartmel years were writing "the canon" and it was a very unequal structure for a fandom.

I really don't get why Hinchcliffe is supposed to be the greatest.

My personal theory is that it looks a bit better (bigger budget) and doesn't have as many jokes so it's Srs Bizness DW that fanboys think they can enjoy without having to be ashamed of it.

The burning of Two is a sad :( He was too good for this world.
