QUOTE (Starscream`s Ghost @ May 21 2008, 10:33 AM) That's a bit unfair, as much as I haven't been keen on a lot of the concepts RTD has introduced, he did help bring Who in from the wilderness, and fought for that when a lot of people didn't. Perhaps he shouldn't have taken on a lot of the writing himself, as producing and script editing as well as writing might have lessened the quality of some of his stories (Last of the Time Lords, I'm looking at you here). I hope he still writes for Who occasionally, because we may get another Utopia out of him, and that can only be good for the programme.  His only saving grace was to bring back Who, out of the one or two good episodes there was a lot of shite though. All he had to do was hand over the reigns a bit more on the writing side and I may of been nicer to him. I am hoping he has treated the last few episodes of this series with that magical touch where Rose's return is concerned...Im just hoping its not a load of fanwank again.

Whatever it is, I bet there's lots of running down corridors.

We'll see. If the title of the 'Top Secret' episode is correct, then I see problems already, as Skaro no longer exists (it was destroyed by the Hand of Omega in Remembrance of the Daleks, unless, it's a parallel universe Skaro, which is why Rose seems to be trying to warn the Doctor. It would also explain Davros, if indeed he's coming back into the Whoniverse.

Good to hear that Moffat is taking over the reigns, I just hope that he can maintain the quality of his individual episodes of a whole series (or is he taking over for the specials? I've lost track at this point). I know he's been in charge of shows before but those were ones where he was writing everything himself all the time; running a show with a large writing staff could be tricky. Regardless, I'm really looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
Good news on Tin Tin, too. I'd already read that he was writing the screenplay but it's good to know he's actually finished it. I just hope it's good. |

Moffat is taking over from the start of season five in 2010, so we still have the tail end of this series, two Christmas specials and two stand alone specials under Davis's command to sit through yet.

That's quite good then since it's unlikely that his Tintin duties will interfere too much with the show, depending on whether or not Spielberg and Jackson will be making them at the same time or one after the other.

Just finished watching The Curse of Fenric which I bought today.
Such a shame they finished the 'old' Who when they did. I think they were on the cusp of some really spectacular stories. |
