I'm not sure how I missed this timeline of public reaction to S5, but it's classic. Sample entries:

April 3, 6:27 PM GMT
“Doctor Who” becomes a trending topic on Twitter as fans rush to the internet to declare their hatred of the new opening titles.

April 10, 7:30 PM GMT
Next episode preview leads to fans complaining about the Daleks, the most profitable and recognizable recurring enemy in the series, appearing on the show yet again.

May 20, 6:35 PM GMT
Several fan blogs complain about how having a straight show-runner for the first time since 1979 has robbed the show of an essential element of its appeal, as Moffat keeps ramming his “Straight Agenda” down the audience’s throat. There is no indication that they are joking about this.

It took me far too long to notice the date this was posted, because everything so far is pretty dead on.

I had the same problem. June 29 in particular seems all too likely.

The James Bond one killed me.

It's funny because it's true.

Your icon ROCKS! (I want more Ashes to Ashes...)

Loved the James Bond one, too, although I think that the Neil Gaiman one is a little far fetched seeing that he has been blogging about the show for years now and he has gotten his daughter Maddie's boy friends liking the show.

(I don't love the opening titles. I don't hate them either, but I definitely prefer the old version of the opening song.)

It took me a while to warm up to the new theme. Now I'm used to its cheesy disco sound, and I'm starting to love it.

Hilarious! Tempted to print it out and keep a score. TY for sharing :)

Glad you liked it! It really has that disturbing ring of truth about it.
