Is time up for Doctor Who?

Interesting article from The Observer. Contains spoilers for season 6.

"But following Doctor Who is a bit like following your football team: some Saturdays you get beaten 3-0. Some Saturdays it's a boring story about a girl whose drawings come to life. It doesn't mean that next week won't be amazing."

I find it all quite rage inducing, especially some of the blog comments. I think the gist of the article is actually quite positive but that headline is for whatever reason adding to the small but getting louder minority that are starting to badmouth the show and it annoys me because I love the show more now then I ever have. xx

I agree. I'm to the point where I'm actually avoiding reading articles because the comments are just infuriating. It's always some Moffat-bashers or those idiots whining about wanting David Tennant back, as if he were forced out.

I quite like the article itself, because it manages to address the fact that the show does have some flaws (it has ALWAYS had flaws - this is part of being a Doctor Who fan, which is part of the reason I particularly like that bit I quoted from the end) without trying to turn it into CRISIS AT DOCTOR WHO TOWERS.

I must admit I haven't read the comments, I generally try not to on any kind of internet piece because I just cannot be bothered with that nonsense. I usually find it hard to resist sneaking a peek at them, but somehow I managed not to this time.

Also: "lovable old Dr Mengele." Ha!
