I don't know if it's been mentioned in this thread yet (I probably already did), but there is a subsection of the Doctor Who fandom that maintains that Time Lords never have sex, are comically unaware of what sex is, and are produced from genetic "Looms".

How can someone look at Tom Baker and continue making that argument?

Well it's based on a tie-in novel from 1997 called Lungbarrow written by Marc Platt, who wrote for Sylvester McCoy's TV era. The 90s were a weird time and, with Doctor Who "dead", folks experimented with weird sci-fi stuff.

Dumb nerd poo poo, got it.

Yeah.

The Sarah Jane Adventures is really really good children's television, but it's very much children's television. It deals with kid's and teenager's issues - absent/abusive families, body image issues, et cetera - and it deals with them really well, but it's not a show "for" grown-ups.

Can you use a similar method and explain this poo poo to bronies?

^^^ That's more garbage from the novels. Doctor Who went to a strange place when it wasn't on television.
What have we done? By the end of this you're going to be listening to audios and watching The Five(ish) Doctors and unironically enjoying them.

Having him watch a couple Tom Baker serials wouldn't be the biggest crime in the world.

Just leave off with the audios, y'know?

:lol: that people still believe any of the three Doctor Who threads on this forum aren't almost exactly the loving same and that the one they post in is somehow superior to the other. It's mostly the same posters in all of them with exactly the same discussions. Toxx's reviews honestly read like most of the ones in the main thread except that they're normally longer. None of the threads even have an overwhelming consensus on things. You get a bit more Big Finish in the main thread, a bit more hatred for the current season in the spoiler thread, and a few more people pretending really hard not to like Doctor Who in this thread, that's really about it.

For the record, everything said here is absolutely true.
