You people crack me up. You complain and whine about how crappy and
shitty the McCoy era was (which is true), but then comes season one of
the new series and what do we see? More complaining. Season one blows
the McCoy stories out of the water. It's so fantastic that my fiance,
who didn't really enjoy most of the original series' stories we watched
together, has enjoyed each of the new season's stories immensely.
Tonight, as a matter of fact, one episode just wouldn't do for her. So
after we watched World War III, we also watched Father's Day. She loved
both of them, as did I. RTD is a godsend for this series. He's taken
what I had loved so much and made it better. If the series ever went
back to the way it was, it would be a crying shame. But I highly doubt
it will. If it did, all you'd be left with after the majority of new
fans stopped watching would be the diehard fanwankers who are throwing
their little tantrums now because the show isn't exactly as they
remembered it. Rather than think the first season was crap, I think
most fans would compare it to the changes you would see made and decide
that the show was no longer worth watching. The theme music you
consider to be only marginally good is the best theme music yet. Not
only that, but it also works extremely well with having it be preceded
by a few minutes of the story. Hearing and watching the opening credits
after the opening scenes in such titles as The End Of The World, The
Unquiet Dead, and Father's Day excited me more than any of the opening
credits ever did in the original series.

Everything about you would be ruined if you became my immortal wife,
No not you, but through you I may at last be able to heal.
