But if you don't have a story to backup those images, and if you can't make an interior as wondrous as the exterior...wouldn't that be just as much of a copout, and maybe more?
Yes, but my point is that it is possible to use that as an exeterior shot and tehn have a story set indoors on an alien planet, with aliens, taking the place of one of the many modern-day-Earth stories. I just feel like with Old Who--let's say Fourth or Fifth Doctor era, since I've seen the most of those--the ones set in 1970s or 1980s England were more special because they were rarer than they are now. (Maybe that's just the impression I've gotten with my scattershot viewing of them.)
Lost: Lost is sci-fi? Huh. Shows how well their marketing campaign is working, I suppose. ;)
