Sticking my nose in here where it quite possibly doesn't belong...
the fans adore him, I think.
Some do. Some don't. I was surprised how much bile was directed at a silly tin dog over on OG after SR aired.
this season we got more non-20th-century-Earth than not.
We did? New Earth, which IMO really doesn't count (because it's still effectively Earth), T&C, GiTF, I don't count the Cyber-eps for the same reason as New Earth (and crikey, there we even get Pete and Jackie), and TIP/TSP. Even if I did count the three eps I discounted, that's still 7 out of 13, which means we were stuck on modern Earth for almost half the series.
Really, I wouldn't count T&C or GiTF, either, because I don't care what time period it is, I want off of Earth, full stop. Enough already, there are other planets out there that Daleks and Cybermen and whoever else they can dream up would love to conquer or otherwise terrorize. And I know I was not the only person watching whichever ep of the finale and screaming during the "how long are you gonna stick around" scene that they were finally on another damn planet and we didn't get to see it. Gah. Show some originality, folks!
I've never read Lungbarrow, but having heard about the Looms, I think they're bollocks, too. That was a huge "WTF?" moment for me when I heard about it. ;)
