Quote: "I think they really need to start visiting planets - at the moment its rather too much earth-bound (although still very good).
However, I dont think they really going for too much dramatic tension - it seems to be mainly the relationship between Rose & The Doctor and The Doctor & everyone else - in other words its becoming slightly like a soap. Perhaps they need to start making more multi-part episodes...
I do think they should start exploring the Time War."
I agree. Here is my pennysworth:
1. I can understand the fixation with Wales given that RTD is Welsh. I'm not dissing the Welsh. I like Wales. But Wales is NOT the centre of the universe. The Tardis should stop going to Wales. Lets go to some exciting alien planets. Somewhere else. Not Wales. If you had a machine which could go anywhere and anywhen, would you keep going to Cardiff? I think not, boyo.
2. The character of the Doctor has been elevated into some near-Godlike entity who can deal with anything and does so the moment that Rose is in danger. In fact, the Face of Boe even called him "the Lonely God". God? Please! The original series quite rightly did not have the Doctor as some omni-potent entity - he was a highly intelligent bungler. Thats how it should be.
3. Less plot reliance on the sonic screwdriver. Nuff said.
4. No Time War stuff please. The idea of the Time Lords being defeated by a bunch of tin plated pepper pots is so ridiculous that the less said about it, the better.
5. Bring back the Master. In the 1996 movie he was eaten by the Eye of Harmony in the Tardis. Either bring back an earlier version of him, or get the Tardis to have indigestion or something.
6. Better, more credible, evil enemies. I want a proper evil laugh, improved diabolical masterplans and, well, a white cat.
Cheer if you like bears! Cheer if you like jam sandwiches!
