Good God yes, exactly this. Real life hits us all with that particular hammer just fine, day in day out. I tend to prefer my fannish entertainment to be the stuff that maybe doesn't show the good guys winning every time, but at least has them winning sometimes. And always still trying to win, with humour and love. Clearly I'm too soft and bland and fantasy-hooked to endure RTD's bracing, searingly honest and integrity-laden life lessons. I'm just such a silly little woman.
