Not that there's anything wrong with being optimistic, but some people just take it way too far. Everything is always rainbows and puppies and hopping bunny rabbits with these exhilarated fans, even when everything they know and love about Doctor Who is seemingly going to pot. And we're looking at you, Colin Baker. They should be admired for their inexplicable optimism, really. And not to mention despised. The Doctor you've been in love with for three years has just regenerated in the most heartbreaking circumstances ever, and he's never, ever coming back. So, no. Everything is not awesome, OK? Maybe they're just surpassing some deep, psychological trauma or something.
