Last time, I rambled about the Doctor Who C2s on ff.net. Or do you mean two posts in as many hours?

Maybe they are simply unaware, having never seen any Classic Who. Maybe they do forget. Or maybe it's simply that the awesome is, in their heads, cancelled out by the fact they're 'weak' enough to scream sometimes.

Anyone holding this viewpoint has, in my opinion, never actually watched Classic Who (because I simply can't conceive of anyone actually watching the stories and coming away with this idea). Therefore their view is uninformed and therefore not worth arguing with.

They're wrong. They don't know what they're talking about. If they refuse to see the awesome, their loss. End of story.

That doesn't mean I don't make similar posts every few months pointing out the awesome of Classic (especially Sixties because they seem to get most of 'scream and look cute' criticism dumped on them specifically) companions whenever I get particularly annoyed at seeing this viewpoint broadcast.

I can't be that philosophical. Everything in that paragraph stands, except I can't help but be irritated by their wrongness/ignorance/closed-mindness so it's not really the end of the story. It just goes round in circles.
