Yeah, I keep seeing "scientific accuracy" as a big sticking point for a lot of the fandom. I'm assuming it comes out of the history of the fandom and a more sci-fi mentality than I'm used to.
All I'm really interested in is the characters, and in having interesting stories that will bring out more aspects of the characters. As far as I'm concerned, the science is just there to justify the plots, which are just there to serve the characters. Yes, it's really all about characters to me.
So all I need is one line thrown in to give it some kind of vague logical backing. Fifteen satellites? The Doctor's integrated into the Archangel network? Sure, whatever. He's back and now he's crying! I want to immerse myself in the emotion he's feeling; I could care less how the show got him there plot-wise.
(I mean... he's an alien traveling around in a magic box... none of it really makes sense anyway.)
