Really, it all comes down to RTD's dislike of authority. He was using DW to work it out, and that's not okay with me. You don't get to fuck around with beloved TV shows just because you can. We are stuck with his BS. This isn't the 70s where you can just throw canon out the window. Some of it will stick.

Totally saw the Donna thing coming, though. Rusty lobes to establish "OMG the world will end if this happens!" rules, and then totally throw them out the window. Did this guy not have parents? Or a dog or something? You can't keep making rules and then breaking them...

Oh yeah...we don't have to worry about that any more. HE'S GONE! It's over. The king is dead! LONG LIVE THE KING!! May he put his ego in slightly better check than the last guy.
