New Doctor Who Discussion

[Nitrus]

I thought last night's episode was really weak. The only saving grace was The Doctor pretending to be human, apart from that it was full of repetition, cliche and with a rushed storyline to boot.

My view of the whole season is dipping, the crack storyline is just a repeat of the Bad Wolf storyline from Series 1, they've done nothing different with the way it plays out. I'm getting pretty sick of the writer's lazily using the perception filter to explain away anything they can't write well.

As for the ship itself, abandoned ship with a hologram programmed to find a pilot? That screams of the Madam Pompodour episode, where robots were rebuilding their ship.

The stories this series haven't been nearly as a imaginative as previous series, I'm struggling to think of any really cool things we've seen this series that we haven't before? We've had cybermen, Daleks, Weeping Angels etc which are all really cool. But they've wrecked the Daleks, recycled the weeping angels and next week is gonna yield almost all the monsters/aliens we've had so far by the sound of it.

Not impressed.
