So far we’ve had three separate aliens try to take over the Earth, one megalomaniac, one ethically suspicious bundle of doctors, and clockwork men trying to kill one person. So it’s at slightly less than 50%. However, the Cyberman stories still felt like alien invasions.

‘The Impossible Planet’ should break the mould a bit.

He does have points that could be agreed with if he did not state them so aggressively; as if he is expecting massive blowback to whatever comment he posts.

Doctor Who does have the potential to do more than aliens invading Earth.

I think that’s a little unfair, and a cheap way to just dismiss his arguments. Especially since he specifically says that he can’t yet write for TV. Unless people are reading more into that sentence.

One of the comments on that page suggests that Lawrence might be a little jealous that he hasn’t had a chance to write an episode.

Lawrence Miles returns!

In terms of everything not relating to Sarah Jane and Rose and the emotional plotline, I tend to agree with him. I just thought all that stuff was in fact good enough to cover for the rubbish actual plot. He also makes the Buffy comparison, though he really sticks the boot in.

Would people be interested in seeing a straight historical, i.e. no aliens?

I did say “again”. It’s more geeky to talk about old Who than new Who. Maybe.

I just liked the comparison. When the Krillitanes want to replace teachers, they eat them. When the Doctor wants to replace a teacher, he makes them rich and happy (possibly).

Doesn’t the first 1500 words about Dr Who geek you out?

How is the lottery ticket touch adorable?

I’m a big fan of the spooky TARDIS music.
