rabid1stThis is why I can never stay mad at them. They are geek boys (and girls) and I love geek boys (and girls). I used to hang out with these guys at the comic shops in Austin. They convinced me to watch Doctor Who for the first time...they sort of ganged up on me and made me watch it. And I was all snooty and critical of the show, too. Because the aliens? Well, they were basically British blokes in black trash bags, rolling about on the floor.
But...Doctor Who isn't about good production values or a story that breaks new ground. It's about that feel good feeling...or something. Anyway, as incensed as I can get when some plot point makes no sense at all...well...I just can't stay mad. Look at them. RTD all nervous and messing up the phone thing...and the phone thing. Reminds me of that Diary Video when David is talking to Julie from Dubai. And then...there is the whole legal download comment and David kissing John...it's just adorable.

Hey, Rae. We're heroes!
Date: 2009-07-28 09:25 am (UTC)"It's the cost of making Cpt Jack a hero. He has to suffer: he has to go through that in order to be the hero." said Gardner.
We suffer for just being alive, so we are heroes in the eyes of the Doctor Who producers.
What would you like to do with your hero status? Personally, I'm going to tell people about a 9/11 documentary about firefighters. Everybody thought the man the documentary was following was a hero because he saved other people from suffering on that fateful day, at no personal cost to himself. It was just his line of work, his desire to keep people safe and protect a way of life. Sure, he would have needed oxygen and a shower to rid himself of the dust so there was some temporary suffering. He may even have lost some work mates in the disaster, but I'm sure he would have honoured their lives before moving on. And yet, in the eyes of the Doctor Who production team, that firefighter isn't a hero. Some reality they are living in!
