::::::::::I actually enjoyed ''Ghost Light'' a bit more on my second viewing of it than my first, but I still found it to be "unintelligible nonsense." Obviously we still have the right to call anything we want unintelligible nonsense, I just don't think that anything will ever be as unintelligible as ''Ghost Light''. The DVD special features did help though(I never got what Control was suppossed to be until I watched those, and somehow I missed most of the evolution subtext on my first viewing). Still, this conversation isn't really meant to be about ''Ghost Light''.[[User:Icecreamdif|Icecreamdif]] [[User talk:Icecreamdif|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 00:35, September 28, 2012 (UTC) | ::::::::::I actually enjoyed ''Ghost Light'' a bit more on my second viewing of it than my first, but I still found it to be "unintelligible nonsense."

:::::::::::89: You said that The Big Bang "made a high proportion of the fans very uneasy". But I don't think it did. It certainly didn't affect you or me, or any other "classic fan" I know, that way. Or any of the casual viewers. Or even most of the "RTD fan" types; just a small number of them. So, that was my point: I don't think that's a real downside. The only real downside is what we've all agreed on: the behind-the-scenes extra information led to "Moffat fans" (including those of us who are also classic or RTD or whatever fans) being disillusioned. | |||
:::::::::::And even there, maybe we're being petulant and petty. Moffat definitely change the way Doctor Who stories can be told, and mostly in positive ways, he just didn't actually do so in the ways he promised. (Of course it's just as petty of me to point out that Miles, Orman, Cornell, etc. already did most of the same things in the novels, and that doesn't stop me from pointing it out… but I also recognize what a big deal it was to bring that to TV.) --[[Special:Contributions/70.36.140.233|70.36.140.233]]<sup>[[User talk:70.36.140.233#top|talk to me]]</sup> 05:22, September 28, 2012 (UTC) | |||
