RTD: 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*

Right right right. The over-the-top acting got to me a bit as well. I think DT *could* have done an exuberant incarnation without the camp - it was possible to have one without the other. But that's partly the fault of the directors and the show runners as well - it should have been reigned in and it wasn't.

I had such high hopes after TCI--writing off that last bit with Harriet as a fluke, which I clearly shouldn't have done. He was so much fun, though, otherwise--a little goofy, able to be serious when necessary, but that sense of wonder was fantastic. I watched it...I don't know how many times before the series started in April! And then they went and turned him into Mr Takes-Nothing-Seriously-Until-You-Cross-Me, and I'm still hoping they'll fix that next year. It made him almost impossible to watch, and that's a shame.

Yep yep yep. Loved him in TCI, quickly not so much in S2.

Man, I wish DoonaRose's Chem!Ten had been the real one...
