Oy with the poodles already!

I am a fan of many things.  I appreciate all of the benefits that fandom can bring and so try to be diplomatic when it comes to the fandom of others, even if it personally makes me ill.  Here comes the but, I am so incredibly and totally over the whining about David Tennant leaving Doctor Who! I too love Mr. Tennant to the point of fangirlish insanity.  I have flown over 3,000 miles twice just to see him, and if I had the time and means I'd do it again for Much Ado About Nothing.  Just the sight of his plaque on the wall of Doctors at the DW expo in Cardiff with an end date under his name made me tear up and when he said he didn't want to go on his last episode-forget about it!  Here's the thing-the concept of change is not new to the Whoniverse.  In fact it's kinda one of the main concepts of the show.  Everything about Who has changed over the years except the TARDIS exterior (mostly) and we all know why that is.  If you feel the need to continually bash the acting of Matt Smith or the writing of the Moff you aren't a fan of DW-you're a fan of DT which is completely and totally fine.  There are, however some of us who are fans of both.  Yes, I will say whole-heartedly that DT is my Doctor and probably always will be but there are things I love about each and every Doctor, and I find it terribly amusing that the same people who went on and on about how great the episodes Moffat wrote under RTD were are forever prattling on about how he is ruining the show just because the current Doctor isn't as attractive as the previous one.  Disappointment or dislike of  various choices made by cast and crew is often a part of fandom.  An example is probably the only show I know as well as DW, Gilmore Girls. No, seriously I freaking love the hell outta that show and it's writer/creator Amy Sherman-Palladino is one of my biggest inspirations as a screenwriter, but Amy left the show before it's final season and disagreements with the stars led to it being cancelled with quite the abrupt and unsatisfying finale at the end of season 7.  There were rumors of a movie for awhile but four years out I'm pretty sure it isn't going to happen and I've moved on, as have the parties involved in making the show.  I don't tweet all day every day about it.  In fact this is probably the first time you've heard me mention it at all.  I guess, to sum up this random musing I'll just say move on, and if you can't don't hate on those who have.  You'll never change their minds as they will never change yours.  Let's just try to get along and worry about the real problems of the world.  After all, isn't that what the Doctor, and David would want?
