But I guess it's best that I do here... this still sucks enormously, though.<BR/><BR/>Like you, I am so utterly bemused by the spin-offs. Not by their content, but their very existence! I mean, the show goes 26 years - the longest-running sci-fi series EVER - without a <I>single</I> spin-off. It comes back for 13 episodes and all of a sudden "Hey, let's make not ONE, but TWO spin-offs! It will be great - just like CSI:NY and Stargate:Atlantis, everyone loves those shows!"<BR/><BR/>Of course, fan reaction I've found even weirder - one of those points where I struggle in a Herculean way to understand these peoples' warped perspective. The one that really got me - some guy asking <B>why</B> I went off the handle about what a terrible idea <I>Rose Tyler: Earth Defense</I> was.<BR/><BR/>Okay, Rose, a character solely created to provoke a reaction from the Doctor, last seen being a completely brainless grinning twit in 'S2', and her happy, good-looking, rich, Nuclear family and parallel Torchwood... fight aliens.
