I can only laugh helplessly.

The first thing listed in the Television section of the Why Fandom Can't Have Nice Things TVTropes page is a link to a the blog post by James Moran about Children of Earth.

(You have to scroll down to find the Doctor Who stuff.)

The literature section is a nice reminder that none of this is especially new. And frankly, after talking with one of my friends who studied literature in the UK, it's nice to know that fandom crazy is old as dirt.
