Fandom gossip is THE BEST gossip. I have zero interest in any real gossip, but fandom gossip? I will kick that hornets nest every time.
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. That makes sense. Just on the face of it an epic battle between Pertwee and McCoy fans sounds something like the Rose stans having an epic battle with the Missy stans. Because . . . why?
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. Booooo. Is it Doctor Who if you're not a little bit ashamed of it? That's half the fun. Also I don't know how to break it to them that Arc is Space is boring.
The burning of Two is a sad :( He was too good for this world. Pain over missing episodes is not something I was looking forward to sharing in, but now it is my pain too.
