I recently began watching the Doctor Who revived series (ninth doctor onwards) after catching a few episodes on BBC Entertainment. Recently, however, I've seen a lot of Doctor Who fans being very verbal in their hatred of one of the main writers of the new series, Russel T. Davies, and I was curious as to why this would be.
Personalyl I don't have an opinion on the man, but find that some of the stores he's written for the series to be some of my very favorite episodes: The Long Game (S1E6), Army of Ghosts/Doomsday(S2E10), Utopia/The Sound of Drums/Last of the Time Lords (S3E9). Mind you, I am very much a fan of most of the other episodes, but I am perplexed as to why people seem to hate Davies so much. Is it the franchising, like making the spinoff series Torchwood?
I have not seen any Doctor Who previous of the revival series (except for a feature length movie, but I understand that is considered non-canon), but please refrain from going on about how much better the series was before it was remade. This is mainly about why people hate Russel T. Davies.
I guess you can discuss why David Tennant is the far superior of the three post-revival doctors, though. If you'd like.
