The news that Catherine Tate will star in the fourth series of Doctor Who as a full-time companion has been causing melt-downs in Doctor Who-fandom for almost a week now. It’s a full-on, fan entitlement, “the official canon contradicts my fan-fiction”, “it sucks because it’s not the way I would do it” fantrum spree on every Doctor Who fan-site and message-board.
I’m having fun with it, because, you know me, if it causes this much hair-pulling in fandom, I tend to think it’s probably a good thing.
Funny thing is, the last time I saw this much fanguish in Doctor Who, it was when the series came back and they announced that it would be co-starring some Britney-wannabe pop singer.
Me, I’m kinda warming to the idea. We need another Tegan.
Besides, it could be worse…we could be getting another Adric…or Peri…shudder…
God, I love comics…
