icepixieRTD: Alien planets are "too expensive."
And a Slitheen ship crashing into Big Ben isn't? Or a massive CGI wereworlf? Or the sun blowing up and incinerating the Earth? I'm sorry, that doesn't fly. Try again.
P.S. Avast, me hearties! *walks around with peg leg and parrot*

So Casanova was excellent because he was working within the confines of a basic narrative he got from a book. Similarly, he can be pretty imaginative on Earth--I loved TEotW--but DW is, by its very nature, basically free verse. Hence lots of us getting pissed off about the unnecessary restraints.
Argh. Maybe he'll go over to Torchwood full time and leave someone else in charge at DW. (I know they're bringing in Gary Russell, who was in charge of the Big Finish audios, over as script editor this season. He has a massive fondness for Gallifrey and alien planets, so maybe we'll see more!)

Date: 2006-09-19 09:42 pm (UTC)Oh, please, please let this happen! After all, I get the feeling he's all about Torchwood at this point and maybe doesn't care so much about DW anymore. (Please? Please?!?)
I need a new version of this icon that says "Rusty" instead of "Bush." Now that's saying something!

Right. That was actually the episode that sold me on the show for the very reason of the great imagination.

Well, yeah!
