I think that's the only way to survive these days, though, sadly, it sometimes seems the only way to pretend he doesn't exist is to abstain completely, which is sad.
Oh, but somehow parts of the show always manage to be awesome, no matter how bad RTD gets. I've found that avoiding all RTD interviews and the Confidentials goes a long way towards letting me stick my fingers in my ears and go "LALALALALA!" at his influence. That, and "creative interpretation" of his mistakes. (Yay denial!)
I've heard he's leaving after next year
Oooh!!
assuming he hasn't thoroughly wrecked the show by then.
Aw, but it's Who, it's like a cockroach - no matter what apocalypses happen, Who will still be around a million years from now. : )
I was sick of Martha's family in about 2 minutes.
Yeah, it was an okay way to introduce her character in her own familiar context, but... I could stand not seeing much more of them. And why does Rusty always have to have a family involved? How about a companion who just has a circle of friends? Non-boyfriend friends? The family theme kinda highlights the sketchy cradle-robbing aspects of the show that I could do without...
You've explored the effects of Companion Runs Off From Family Without Explanation syndrome already. Move on.
Yup. New, please!
I was so hoping the screwdriver was dead, not to be replaced.
But he's gotta have his Magical Cheating Device! Otherwise he'd have to, you know, operate *locks*!
As it was, there was almost no point frying it, since he seems to have a few crates of the damn things lying about the TARDIS storerooms...
But endless stock of screwdrivers = endless stock of impressionable young women! A bit cruel on the writer's part, but accurate.
