I partly agree with this, but some of it is just how television has changed during those ensuing decades as well. For example, I love classic Twilight Zone, but I will fully admit the pacing is glacier slow. Some of that is just - I'm guessing - writers worrying that viewers wouldn't immediately grasp a lot of sci-fi concepts back then. For example, many episodes of Twilight Zone will just have characters explain the concept of time travel for the first 10 minutes of an episode. Watching a lot of those old episodes today, there's a tendency to think "Yeah, we all get it,"Most people moaning about the current series seems to be fans who have a concrete idea on what Doctor Who has to be based purely on the new series. It doesn't need to be bombastic, or have every character shooting off one liners rather than have a conversation like a human being. It is slower paced and so far I am enjoying it a lot. Many classic series fans moan about modern who because it is not like it was when they grew up, it seems like modern Who fans are falling into the same trap.
during those conversations.
Granted, I'm also one of the ones enjoying the current season (especially the Doctor herself and Graham), so I can't really speak for the people in this thread who don't like it so far. And as I said previously, I'm very excited to see where this season takes us.
