  • Crispy Pro gives up on modern DW for classic DW

    Crispy Pro, who only two years ago made a video on "The Rise of Doctor
    Who" to celebrate the new era, has given up hope and converted. He's now planning a retrospective on the classic era, focusing on one Doctor per
    week.

    Here's his essay commenting on the new era's disappointments:

    He makes some points which remind me of hbomberguy's notorious video
    essay trashing Stephen Moffat. IMO that essay is pretty harsh, but it
    has a great basic point: If a show's all hype and no payoff, the effect
    of the hype wears off. This is similar to what Crispy Pro is saying
    about the RTD2 era.

    I'm going to sub and follow his retrospective.
