Seriously, no one gets away with criticising Stargate

[lemonbella]

Well, THAT just about sums up everything I've ever hated about the New Doctor Who

Dear Mr Davies,

The following things are better about Stargate than your show:

1) It's not ashamed about being sci-fi
2) It can do special effects, and doesn't think its audience is stupid enough to find a rubber mask convincing. Except in that episode with the fire, and that was because they didn't have much money.
3) Two of its producers spent the first week in their job thinking up words to the theme tune
4) Baal
5) The Canadian Airforce regularly lend it helicopters.
6) At no point have they thought it a good idea to employ Billie Piper.
7) The Furlings

I could go on, but I have Fifteen series of Stargate to go and watch.

With no love, and an extraordinary amount of ill-feeling, Me.

Indeed... *raises one eyebrow and nods seriously*

Never before in my life have I read five pages of comments from the general public and agreed with that many of them.

I watch both so what do I know? Except that RTD does seem to enjoy saying things to piss off fandom and he does have a Christmas special to promote.

I think it's more a case of "more reasons why RTD should think before he speaks". One offhand comment by an otherwise dedicated Dr Who/sci-fi fan shouldn't be considered enough to wipe out 30 seasons and 45 years of some of the best sci-fi ever shown on tv.

And I think I'll say no more as I don't want to bring a flamewar to your block :)
