Apparently Steven Moffat is gone from Twitter and the word is that idiots are responsible. Also, Caitlin Blackwood (who played the younger version of Amy Pond) has been getting nasty tweets into the bargain. So obviously I'll remove the link to Steven Moffat's twitter page on this comm.

This is the kind of thing which makes me deliberately want to say inflammatory things about other eras of this show, incidentally.

EDIT: Apparently the Caitlin Blackwood account was fake all along, though there's nothing to say the people who tweeted the abuse knew that.
As you've probably heard, the new companion has been announced. The details are here (along with hints about Amy and Rory's exit). Fandom seems to have done its usual thing with this news, so rather than create another pointless thread asking what we all think of a companion we haven't seen in action yet (hint: the correct answer is "nothing because I haven't seen her in action yet"), I thought I would ask what your current favourite crazy comment has been about the casting of Jenna Louise Coleman.

NOTE: Please do not link to people's blogs or posts or mention their names directly. Feel free to directly quote them though.
Of course, I tried to post this news several days ago, but since I couldn't do an LJ cut at the time (and still can't - thank you once again for the excellent service Livejournal), I had to delete the entry as it was still considered "spoilery" at the time.

I figured that since everybody probably knows now, it's probably okay to post this without a cut, but in any case rather than mentioning the actual news, I will just link to it here and talk about it in the comments.

In related news, there is a poll here for your favourite ever companion. I don't normally get involved in pointless stuff like this, and far be it from me to influence people on how to exercise their democratic right to vote in internet polls, but I happen to know there are certain sections of fandom delighting in how the current results are "pissing off" large sections of fandom. 

I'm not encouraging spite in fandom. Honestly. I'm really not. Don't go and vote for Amy out of spite. Seriously, don't.
Well we've had a fairly good response to the community so far, but not a brilliant one. So I'm throwing out the A bomb. Oh yes, it's all getting serious now.

What are the three stupidest criticisms you've heard so far about Moffat-era Doctor Who?

IMPORTANT: PLEASE DO NOT LINK TO ANY PERSONAL OR COMMUNITY LIVEJOURNAL POSTS AND PLEASE DO NOT MENTION ANY SPECIFIC POSTERS BY NAME. THIS IS NOT A WITCH-HUNT. WE ARE IDENTIFYING STUPID IDEAS, NOT STUPID PERSONS.
