Date: Sunday, November 22nd, 2009 12:11 pm (UTC)Bad Wolf, Torchwood, Mr Saxon, etc., are Doctor Who's heavy handed attempts at doing the same and have made some fans scrutinise things too much (as if anything was needed to make some fans do that). (And RTD likes fucking with the minds of this group of fans, see also Jack = Face of Boe.)
The "everything must be shown" mentality ("gimme time war mini series with McGann and Eccleston now!") amongst certain fans means that the Queen Elizabeth gag from two seasons ago MUST be explained before the Doctor regenerates. Sigh. (Again RTD, who sometimes realises that it's better not to explain or show everything, is not beyond fucking with the minds of this sort of fan.)
More interestingly from a storytelling point of view, the new show has developed the concept of the Doctor to the point where the idea that he is capable of doing almost anything is important. RTD is exploring the bad side of that concept in the specials whilst the Moff has previously tended to explore the lighter side.
So, maybe he was babbling, but maybe he was telling the truth. And why not? "He's the Doctor, he can do anything!" or "He's the Time Lord Triumphant, he really can do anything..." depending on his mood.
I must have been lucky, most of the reactions I've seen have been LOLs rather than flailings.

Though for real 'we no like ambiguity' fights, Stargate fans are fun at the moment...
