Maybe it's the culture of entitlement that seems to be on the rise, but people expect everything to be tailored to them specifically, brooking no divergence from that expectation. Obviously, it's unreasonable to do so.<br /><br />Or it may be the typically Whovian phenomenon of the "One true Doctor", which makes some fans go "That's not Doctor Who!" unless it's just like "their" Doctor's era, which is patently ridiculous, because Who has, by now, been tons of (often contradictory) things. For example, I'm currently in the middle of daily reviewing the Pertwee episodes, and that era, while many fans' "one true Doctor" is completely unlike most of what came before or after.<br /><br />I think you've got it just right when you invoke the target audience AND the compromise the viewer must make (and used to make more readily). I hope the right people get to read it.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.com
