Just dropping in with my 2 cents on the Jan Newman stuff - ignore at your leisure:
I say live and let live - some take it offensively (I am leaning towards being offended) and am irked by the continued beating of the proverbial drum that mitchell is the hewo to the almost total exclusion of the 3 real heroes (that would be the BIG 3) who helped (in a VERY, VERY BIG way) make this show what it is and as successful as it was for 8 years. I say let people say what they will, interpret how they will and feel the way they feel about what they read and hear and see with regard to S10 and when S10 airs we can all come back and see who was closer to right and those who were can feel vindicated.
This is the whinge thread afterall and if we want to whinge I say why not - I pretty much wrote S9 off based on spoilers and interviews and the early PR pimping of the shiny new characters and, to be honest, S9 turned out WORSE than I even dreamed so if I want to take what I am reading, hearing and seeing about S10 and project from that I think I should be entitled to based on my experience of being correct in my evaluation of S9 (I was only correct to a degree though since it was actually worse than I imagined).
I have little to no fear that S10 will turn out pretty much the same, if not worse again, and at least, thanks to S9 (the only thing I can be thankful for about S9), I am prepared for bigger disappointment in S10 than I otherwise would be. It is this disappoinment and HUGE let-down from S9 that prompts me to put the criticism, the cynicism and the whinge in my posts - it was true for S9 and I believe it will be true for S10 and Jan Newman (another county now heard from) just adds to that with the proverbial "party-line" of the new hewo and the "babe" comment that I just don't know what to think of since it really is playing right into where I see TPKTS going with it.
