 >  your overall impression of this new DW season. 
  
 "I've answered this question several times and am not going through it 
 again, go and read all my other posts on the subject." ;-) 
  
 Fairplay will claim that right from square one, he knew RTD was going to 
 take the series and turn it into a vehicle for gay propaganda.  The fact 
 that among the 400+ minutes of scifi of variable quality, there were at 
 least 2 minutes of gay behaviour, references to homosexuality and 
 gratuitously non-macho characters (about half as much screen time as 
 there was featuring references to straight sexuality), added to the fact 
 that RTD himself admits that he isn't averse to throwing in the odd bit 
 of innuendo between important parts of the actualy story, confirms that 
 he has been vaccinated with shovels^W^W^W vindicated in spades. 
  
 Additionally, RTD used the show to insert much more propaganda, all of 
 it with the intention of spreading views contrary to FP's own - for 
 example, a shot of a bill poster advocating readers to not vote Tory in 
 the 1987 election is clearly left-wing propaganda.  Contrarily, a 
 segment featuring a thoroughly unpleasant parody of a current TV show, 
 which is responsible for turning human civilisation into mindless sheep, 
 is equally obviously a blatant advert *for* that show. 
  
 Finally, every episode was built on ideas used in previous, greater 
 works of fiction, and also had the cheek to use sentences composed 
 entirely of words used in similarly superior works.  The whole thing was 
 therefore entirely derivative, and frequently plagiary. 
  
 To sum up, it wasn't worth the significant number of hours he spent 
 watching it, or the much greater number of hours he spent posting to 
 newsgroups like this where his voice of reason is ignored and ridiculed 
 because everyone else is a crazy fanwanking liberal poofter. 
  
 He will of course be watching the Xmas special, but only in order to 
 confirm for himself how utterly awful it continues to be. 
  
 Isn't that right, FP?
