New Moon versus Doctor Who



In response to the question presented by a fellow Bad Wolf, and as the only Bad Wolf to have read New Moon, I feel it is now my place to step up and say frankly and clearly what I truly think of the Twilight series in the most indirect way possible: through a comparison chart a la Cosmo magazine (read each point left to right).


TWILIGHT
DOCTOR WHO
A sexy vampire, and a sexy werewolf, with their shirts off – brawn and no brains (the main reason I am a fan of the films), who are cold hearted and irresistibly abusive, fulfilling my Darcy fantasy without all the banter and 6 hours of BBC – which I own anyway, but that is not the point!


A sometimes sexy and quirky aloof, but highly intelligent alien in a sometimes decent humanoid male body. But always with his shirt on. However, I contend that Tennant puts both supernatural creatures to shame with the whites of his sexy teeth.
A set of horribly written crap novels constructed by a woman who doesn’t deserve a cent more for her prose than an illiterate monkey – and I say this with all the bitterness of an unpublished novelist (the main reason I haven’t read past the second crappy title of the four).
A prolific and generally well written library of books, some written by very esteemed literary minds (some not) that contribute to their genre while entertaining fans. Plus all the comics and graphic novels and radio plays, so there Stephenie Meyer, why don’t you go die in a fire?


A wishy washy annoying heroine.
Several wishy washy annoying heroines – each compensated for by fantastic strong female role models.


Fans that will buy underwear with the picture of a vampire’s mouth in the crotch.
Fans that will travel over the Atlantic to attend a conference and spend their rent money on the schematics to build their own TARDIS.



I think that pretty much expresses my opinion and puts me strongly in favour of Doctor Who, sexy men, and silly distractions. Speaking of silly distractions, if you liked the video at the beginning of this post, you'll definitely like this one.

So you're saying The Doctor edges out Sparkly Vampires? Interesting perspective.

Small point - but I'm pretty sure 'Pride and Prejudice' has a few zombies in the storyline.
