Re: [NEWS] RTD has no idea if Billie Piper is the next Doctor

Verily, in article <xn0p7yzb7mnwwup001@post.eweka.nl>, did
blueshirt@indigo.news deliver unto us this message:

 
I think RTD is just an out of touch old Queen doing what he
wants to do because it's jolly good fun in his mind and fuck the
fans if they don't like it. So let's insert every trendy cause
into episodes because that's what he thinks Doctor Who should be
about in 2025, a political bandwagon. Have your messaging
wrapped inside a good story if you have to show how trendy and
right-on you are... but start with the story, not the message.
RTD is all about big ideas, that then fall flat. His ego is
destroying the thing he created.

IMO, this is what he always wanted the show to be like. He didn't want
to revive Doctor Who; he wanted a gay, sex-soaked reboot of Doctor Who.
At the time the BBC wouldn't let him, so he created Captain Jack
Harkness as a *different* guy banging his way across time and space.

Now, the show has aged and is fading. The BBC's willing to let RTD do
his thing as a desperation move to juice it along a little more.

If they cancelled it gracefully, they might be able to revive it again
in another twenty years. If this goes on too long, though, then the
whole show could become a permament laughingstock.
