I prefer to put it this way -- from the show that gave us a hero who's committed genocide and a heroine with an Electra complex, I was hoping for a central relationship more complex and nuanced than the one in Disney's Alladin.

Then perhaps 'ruined the premise of the series' wasn't the phrase that you were searching for. Also, I should let you know that I think Freud's research was seriously flawed and that he was, basically, projecting his own issues onto the whole of humanity.

Issues? Yeah, genocide'll give you issues.

Well, if it doesn't, you were probably fucked up already. Being with Rose couldn't fix the way killing his people felt. But she let him see the universe with new eyes and that... that's worth something right there.

But I can't actually blame you, because you're seeing the gloss that RTD put there.

Wow. That's... incredibly insulting. When you wrote that, were you aware of how insulting it was? I've been watching television for, oh, quite a while now. I've read a lot of meta and, also, actual literary criticism of various novels and plays. I'm not, as you seem to believe, someone who stumbled onto Doctor Who and said, "Ooo! The pictures move! Shiny!"
