Fair point with the fixedness of the 1st-10th Doc. That certainly remains in a continuous line, as opposed to Superman's fluctuating histories... This is a more interesting debate than I first thought. Who's continuity IS more complex DW or Superman? :)
Rusty's actually mucked things up rather drastically with his Time War. Because no one understands what that's done exactly. Wiped out Gallifrey/Time Lords at a specific moment in time, or wiped them from history completely? Cos if it's the latter, then a lot of the Doc's past adventures must have been re-written, what with them involving Gallifrey and all... Blah! :p
And you really should stop staying things like 'British shows are more realistic and better acted' to me, it's sparking weird jingoistic notions within me! Eeek! I mean, I thought it was true before, but having someone from the US actually agreeing is likely to just make me big headed :p
Doesn't mean I don't still enjoy SV though, I will take any bad acting or ridiculous responses as endearing <3 That's what you have to do with a lot of old!school Who, especially when the sets start wobbling!
One thing I do love on American shows, is the title sequences, you know, with the (often cheesy) title music and all the characters' faces popping up and such. I was really hoping the new DW would adopt something like that, but they opted to stay with the swirling motif instead. Fair enough. But I like cool title sequences, they are pretty :)
