Seriously, give her a wave. She's really nice.

> If I actually was familiar with the events of Doctor Who (I haven't watched much since the latest guy came in as the Doc), I might have grasped the nuances of things better.

In spite of the issues she mentioned, I'd still recommend the show. It's still miles ahead of American superhero comics on those issues, after all, and also, unlike American superhero comics, everyone's heart seems to be in the right place, at least.

> However, I recognize the passion over a character getting screwed by the writing... I could go on and on about Vizh and Wanda, and how bad an idea it was to emphasize the whole "Wonder Man brain patterns" thing, so it's not completely alien to me.

I would suggest there was an additional resonance for her, unless you are a Synthezoid-American.
