Believe it or not, no. I don't disagree with everything you wrote, but I disagree with most of it. But I didn't know anything about classic Who when I started watching the series. And I was watching it with a small child at the time. I thought it was wonderful. Fun. So the next question for you is, why do you persist on the negative? Why do you not post more the purely classic Who threads, of which I'm sure you have a lot to say, including a lot of positives? Why do you continue to push the negative on the threads about that which you hate? There should be enough in all 53 years of Who that we all can find some positive experiences. I persist because DW could be so much better. How many scenes were wasted with Clara being dropped off for school and her boyfriend? Those scenes deserved to be in EastEnders. DW isn't a soap. Its a thread in a 45 minute drama that isn't needed. Now, what did I say that you agreed with? As ever, you ask a deliberately leading question.
But it does allow us to reply 'very little'.

I've answered all your questions! And, you actually avoiding giving an answer.

I'm not asking that. I wrote a short list of problems with DW. He agree with some, disagreed with others. All I want to know is what he agrees with. Not much to ask, is it?

I'd like to point out at this stage that it's important in internet discussions on forums to acknowledge that you respect the other side's opinion, even if you don't necessarily agree with it. Just a little acknowledgement that it may have validity, that's all. It's so difficult to tell behind a wall of text the intonation of someone's questions. Something keen can easily be interpreted as something closed-minded.
Let's keep this discussion civil, ladies and gentlemen. We're not here to squabble.

You want a point by point breakdown of what they like?
And then what you reply with your own point by point breakdown of why they're wrong in the hope he changes their mind on some of it?

Exactly, from previous posts it's easy to see that if I say, for example, how perfectly Doctor Who-y the Space Pig is, I'll get either a 'but it's crap' or a 'so you agree that everything other than the Space Pig was crap then?'. There's nothing wrong with debating the merits or otherwise of aspects, I've just not seen any evidence that's what would actually happen.

First of all, he is a she. I agree that the Ninth Doctor was very Earth-bound that first series and it would have been nice if they had taken him off world more. However I completely understand why they did it that way. The were taking a show that had essentially failed 16 years before and reintroducing it to a whole new audience. They wanted to keep it relatable to that audience. Who knows (he he) where they would have gone if Eccleston had stayed. Now, I'm not going to nit-pick through the rest of your comment to knock each point down. However, I do feel you are as inconsistent at times as you claim the show to be as to your reasoning. But hey, you're allowed to hate it as much as I really do LOVE those RTD years. But I will say, Doctor Who is a show about embracing change and discovering what could be. That seems to be difficult for you. Yes, I have been plenty disappointed by the new series over the last few years, but I've also been amazed. And for me, finding the positive is always better than holding on to the negative.

There are so many more better ways to spend the day. Even if all that is is being on here posting about the Doctor Who one does actually like.
