:::::::::On the other hand, it _was_ behind-the-scenes; the casual fans probably don't know and don't care about it, and in the long run, the only people who remember will be the kind of people who remember JNT's proclamations (and the arguments within fandom that they sparked) today. --[[Special:Contributions/70.36.140.233|70.36.140.233]]<sup>[[User talk:70.36.140.233#top|talk to me]]</sup> 17:29, September 27, 2012 (UTC)

:::::::::70: No, I'm '''not''' "one of the people who thought ''The Big Bang'' was unintelligible nonsense or got angry because it ruined RTD's stories" It wasn't & it didn't. If RTD's stories were good before ''The Big Bang'', they're just as good after it. I didn't do any "top-blowing over the Time War—or ... the TV movie", either. I suppose that, having been watching since the policeman in foggy London at the start of ''An Unearthly Child'', I qualify as a "Classic fan" (as Icecreamdif puts it). I do agree with what you say about "The added behind-the-scenes information..." being "just needless setup for future disappointment." It's the fact that the behind-the-scenes claims were made but never followed up that's undermining my belief that Moffat actually knows what he's trying to do.
:::::::::Icecreamdif: I'd take issue with the idea that those who saw ''Ghost Light'' have "no right to refer to ''The Big Bang'' as 'unintelligble nonsense'." We've every '''right''' to do that -- just no '''inclination''' to do it. I enjoyed ''Ghost Light'' when it aired. I still enjoy ''Ghost Light'' (a couple of times a year, on average). --[[Special:Contributions/89.240.243.135|89.240.243.135]]<sup>[[User talk:89.240.243.135#top|talk to me]]</sup> 21:11, September 27, 2012 (UTC)
