I tried to stick with the new show even with the inclusion of characters like Jack Harkness, but gender-bending the Master was too much. Now even the Sixth Doctor with Colin Baker seems classic by contrast.
I never bothered, so I didn’t know they added Jack Hardness. I had REALLY liked him, so you’re actually tempting me to try it now.
I know what you mean. I won’t watch the newer ones. It was bad enough when they viciously got rid of what’s her name boyfriend, and then when they tossed in Peter Capaldi, one of the worst Dr.s, of all time, I no longer enjoyed it, but now they’ve made the doctor a woman, and I refuse to watch it anymore. It used to be campy fun, with some pathos thrown in with a little romance, but no more. As much as I enjoyed David Tennent, the Captain Jack character, especially knowing he was played by an “out, loud and proud, and in your face” actor, turned my stomach. I don’t hate gays, I pity them, and deliberately flaunting them,vane proud of it, is bent. Started out as a children’s show, too.
