Well, ok where one thread has gone before. We (erm, mostly me) were hijacking
THIS thread so I decided to just split this page off into its own topic.
Doctor Who
I don't care for this show, and the Fan-base reeks of pretentious twats, at least Star Trek Next gen fans Bothered to watch the original series...
I've watched some Doctor Who and it's ok but not really for me. I think I understand why a lot of people dig it, but it does seem like it's become a fad along with other aspects of "nerd culture". I consider myself a bit of a Trekkie but I don't really like the original series. I much prefer TOS cast in the animated series and movies, because the first show had so much filler dialog and a boring Shatner romance for 20 minutes of what feels like every episode. Plus most of the time Kirk acts like he wouldn't know
the Prime Directive if it bit him on the nose, and there's now-weird sexism in some episodes.
And I just find TOS characters (especially Kirk) to be boring compared to their TNG and DS9 counterparts, though they got a lot more interesting in the movies. And the animated series had tighter scripting and wasn't constrained by the budget limitations of TOS ("We've got a lot of Gladiator costumes? Sure we'll have an episode about a 20th Century ancient Rome planet, why not.") so we got to have some more exciting scenarios and fun aliens like Lt. M'ress.
(Spoiler'd for Catgirl in Starfleet regulation short skirt, in case anyone might find that NSFW.)
The fact that Caitians have longer legs than humans probably makes it look even shorter.
Long story short: Star Trek TOS is overrated, come at me bro.
