Here is a section from the Whovian discussion page  Harlan Ellison is definately a fan Here I quote him the highly critical sciencefictioneer  Whilst on the lecture platform of the World Science Fiction Convention in   Star Wars is adolescent nonsense Close Encounters is obscurantist drivel Star Trek can turn your brains to puree of bat guano and the greatest science fiction series of all time is Doctor Who And Ill take you all on onebyone or all in a bunch to back it up DrWho   Yes Ellison also wrote the introduction to Pinnacles US imprints of the Target novelisations so he should definitely join the list Martpol   Indeed Thats whereto I got my quote  Anyways he admits to hating television and alot of its sciencefiction save for this fine exception in the spacetime washDrWho   Hasnt be subsequently claimed not to have actually written that introduction Angmering UTC
