Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 from Big Chief Studios!
SOOOOOOOO Disagree here. If you think RTD's material is solely a reflection of who he is and not a reflection of his agenda, I got a bridge to sell you.
The argument can be made that RTD has a right to his artistic vision. People also have a right to be offput or to find it distracting.
A gay person certainly can be offended at a portrayal of a straight relationship on tv just as a straight person might be offended by a homosexual one if they choose.
But the fact is that one of those positions is in the majority and the other is in the minority. RTD trying to portray the minority position with the frequency of a majority position is hardly subtle, so you have to understand why some may be offended.
I'm never offended by the scenes themselves, what I get offended at is the blatancy of the agenda and the frequency of being beat over the head with it.
That said, that's sorta old news and it has not occurred since RTD left.
Also, will add obviously the show was fine overall, I kept watching, and love the show. Even like Captain Jack. I just can't say that there weren't the occassional eye rolling when the agendas were flashed in bright neon.
