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*

I'm still not sure the balance of alien and Earthly stories is so different. The 4th Doctor probably was on alien worlds more, but the 5th Doctor was on Earth a lot. The 7th Doctor was a heck of a lot, especially in his final season. And I think the "1970s or 80s England" comment is key...the new series does a fair number of Earth stories that aren't the present decade, and aren't always in England, either...

Lost: Yeah...it's got monsters in the jungle and strange electromagnetic fields and hints of telepathy and possibly telekinesis...it's subtle, sort of Twilight Zone, but I'd definitely call it scifi.
