Of course, it's just that the "I don't like this or that about Doctor Who" opinion morphs into a "ratings and decline" discussion. The disappointment and decline can happen simultaneously but in essence they're two different things.
Not sure what you are trying to say. The" Ratings and decline discussion" has been a part of the Whoniverse for decades.
That's ridiculous. the podcast is talking about the show's content, past and/or present. THAT IS INFORMATION. The podcast is informing about elements of the episodes, possibly including casting, writing, direction etc while it entertains. Podcasts both inform and entertain. You can't pick and choose, since both info and entertainment are interrelated on a podcast. What "other people"? That makes no sense No being a "real fan" consists, in part, of not being a lackey for the powers that be who put out any old slop and expect people to accept it. And Doctor Who has lasted so long BECAUSE of those real fans. You deflect from the main issues and create straw man assertions, therefore your points have no validity
That is an erroneous cause and effect evaluation. ie People might say that they do not like a film, and refer to ratings as an indicator of the film's lack of quality/, not because it is the cause of their opinion. People are just as likely to refer to a site like Rotten Tomatoes if they like the film and RT has a good rating for it
But most of your posts are about the "failure" of the series as a whole, which tells me absolutely nothing.
You don't have to care, not sure what you are trying to say.
And why, exactly, is that the larger point in a Watching NuWho thread?
I thought that the point was abundantly clear, from the sentences that you chose not to acknowledge.
My goodness, you really have no idea. You yourself said that you watch podcast and all those things that you mention are discussed in multiple podcast, so you contradict yourself-again.
I listen to podcasts. I don't watch them. A small detail, granted.
But not necessarily the podcasts I listen to, or if they are, they're discussed in a funny, entertaining way, rather than an endlessly moany negative boring way.
Well, after Who came back, I spent about the next fifteen years or so reading and watching a lot about the history of the show. I'm, no expert, far from it, but my curiosity has been somewhat sated on that score. So I don't really listen to the Who podcasts I listen to for information so much as to be entertained by the presenters and guests on their subjective reactions to Who stuff. It's not really what they're talking about, but the way they talk about it that appeals to me.
It's just not something I think about very much.
Hmm, do I? No, I don't think so. I just liked it more when this particular thread was about the specific experience of watching specific episodes of Doctor Who, and the actual content of the actual episodes themselves.
No, I don't mind what they do.
Clearly
You certainly mind when Doctor Who fans want more info about their favorite show, but you indicated that you wanted to learn about the show's history, contradicting yourself. And if you don't mind what fans of SW and ST do, it is inconsistent that you would not grant fans of Doctor Who the right to find information from various sources and utilize that information in such a way that might result in a better show...Oh No!
It must be sad to be uninformed and not care about anything. When events are not good, people then say 'Oh I did not know' Not good
Granted, I am shockingly ignorant about a lot of things, but it is not strictly accurate to say I don't care about anything. For starters, I am very concerned that eighteen years' worth of EastEnders episodes is set to disappear off the iPlayer in ten months' time.
As a matter of fact, I still haven't seen any of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Doctor stories and that means there's literally future in this particular thread.
