8. The Fan Who's Obsessed With Their Own Fantasies
No one's here to judge, but if you fall into this category then you really need to learn the difference between what's happening in your head and what's actually happening. And by "actually happening", we mean in the relative, narrative sense that it's happening inside that small telly box in your living room within the confines of the Doctor Who universe. These fans will watch an episode and take it completely the wrong way, either because they were unhappy with the actual events or because they're so deluded that they genuinely think their own interpretation is better. Maybe it is, but you're already fighting a losing battle if you try to argue with canon. Although admittedly, the lines between what's canon and what's not are forever becoming blurred.
