But seriously, discounting Doctor Who because of the first 4 eps? That's like discounting TNG based on the first season.
Or the second season.
Or the third... oh well, you get it.
Would you continue to date a woman after the first few dates were bad? There's probably many women who don't make a good first impression but who would be great in a long-term relationship.
TV shows are not people, though, so this is probably a bad analogy.
