Welcome to Gaia! ::

I refuse to form any opinion on the new series until I've seen at least 2 episodes. Although I must say that The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances are some of my favorites.

It's good to have an I-told-you-so about something not bad.

I was really surprised, and sort of angered, that so many people have such a horrid attitude. In the past people have loved Moffat's episodes, his episodes have always been the best and the favorites of their respective series. It seems like people are grasping at straws, trying to find anything they can to hate on Moffat and the new season. Maybe they really hate him, maybe their just PMS-ing over RTD leaving, or maybe they're just angry at the world. I just wish it would tone down. This guild is supposed to be about our love of a great show, not about splintering into factions and spouting hate.

I love David just as much as anyone else, I cried like a baby during his final episode, but I'm mature enough to accept that he's gone. Maybe I'm just overly optimistic, but I have a lot of faith in Steven Moffat, he has never disappointed me [in DW and in other shows he's written]. I was unsure of Matt when he was first revealed, but as soon as I saw his interview, I was hooked. Yes, he's young. Yes, he has weird hair. Yes, he has barely any eyebrows. But do we all need to be reminded of Peter Davison, Colin Baker or [the ultimate] Tom Baker? The Doctor has changed before and will change again.

Give this series a chance. If this show really means that much to you, a few little [honestly, trivial] changes shouldn't effect your affection.

As long as it DOESN'T Turn into a Twilight like show...

I watched episode's 1-3 on the torrent downloads and there is a lot of plot holes and errors in continuity so i formed my opinion on that and others formed their opinion on him kissing and starting a relationship with Amy Pond and River Song. Others formed their opinion based on the fact SM put every episode down and every actor down. so if you have a favourite DR, he has called him "s**t" and you can listen to this on his BBC Radio Cast.

That's why people hate SM. You call it grasping at straws? I call it defending a TV show I love.

I complain about some guy calling my show "s**t" I defend by calling him out on it. I also find that if I was to defend him then I would have to have his opinions and then hate the TV show too. So I get a little jumpy when people start to defend him but I have never met anyone on my 3 other DR fan sites including the BBC forums that don't complain when he calls their DR "s**t"

I couldn't see anyone not complaining that he hates the show, cast and openly calls it all "s**t" all the time and then goes and writes for it.
As for the wait and see before having an opinion excuse. I read his short stories and I watched his other shows, I seen his themes and I seen ep's 1-3. Hating on him started when he called it "s**t" my hate got worst after I attempted to forget what he said and sit down to watch the new show. I regret that decision and feel very angered towards him Regenerating a new suit and tie half way through changing his face then flying over 2009 London and pretending it's the year 2000 and I could go on but that would spoil the fun.

In truth, I complain in defence as I would think any fan would but I understand that people may like different things and if your not a true fan then your gonna want something new. Perhaps your a Twilight fan or something, iunno but that's why I complain. I don't nor would ever complain mindlessly while never seeing the show, that would be stupid but as it turns out, I was disappointed.
