It just seems, Rob, that a lot of your opinions have nothing to do with evidence, information, continuity, etc. It's just whether or not you like or understand something.
Granted, that's what an opinion is-- it's my personal feelings on this or that. That doesn't make my opinion
correct, it just means it's mine. If I think Stephen Hawking is the biggest idiot to walk the planet and ranks just above a turnip in brain power, I'm entitled to that opinion. And my opinion would be wrong.
Perfect example... from your rantings...
Okay, so it didn't make sense for Van Gogh to have a Scottish accent (or mistake Amy's for a Dutch one, although that was probably a deliberate gag)...
Actually, anyone who's paid attention to the show could tell you it makes perfect sense. It's the TARDIS translations, as noted in several episodes, most notably the Pompeii one. Donna hears Romans speaking English with an English accent. They hear her speaking Latin. When she tries to speak Latin, they hear "Celtic." Thus, Amy runs into Van Gogh in France and hears him speaking with a Scottish accent and he hears her with a Dutch one. It shows a phenomenal eye for detail, actually.
The end of Season 3 was absolutely ridiculous (Doccy the House Elf!) as was the end of Season 4 (the Tardis towing the Earth through space? Really?)
So in a story with a one thousand year old alien who travels anywhere in time or space using a dimensionally-transcendant vehicle with a wooden hull, it's ridiculous that said machine could use a tractor beam on the Earth...? I'm dying to hear your logic on this...
You're more than welcome to your opinions. They'd just be a lot more bearable if you presented them as such now and then instead of as the iron clad facts of nature you seem to think they are...
