To be fair, they're probably not pure humans. They have bits of alien in their grandparents and their cousins and mixed up all over the place, and presumably said aliens have to be pretty humanish for them to, y'know, breed.
Well, true. Particularly in light of the Doctor looking rather human himself. It did seem like a missed opportunity, though...although I suppose doing anything more than lame Bajoran noses or Klingon foreheads on that many extras would've been out of budget. Sigh.
Everything else - word. I don't like RTD's scripts, ever. Bring on Moffatt!
I really like EOTW and Bad Wolf, and I enjoyed Boomtown. Not as much of a fan of POTW, and my hatred for AOL/WWII knows no bounds. He's kind of a mixed bag for me; I think when he really focuses in on one, relatively simple, plot and has time to build a lot of character moments around it, it works better than when he's trying to juggle several different threads. I think I sort of write the same way, so I have some sympathy for what seems to happen to some of his scripts. Still want to see him do teleplays of stories thought up by more plot-competent folks, though. *g*
(Um. I'm Raven. I have friended you. I hope you don't mind.)
Hee. Nice to meet you! *friends back* I've seen you over in gamesiplay's journal a lot, yeah?
