I have a rolled-up newspaper and I'm not afraid to use it!

I want to save the Doctor.

Not in a plotty sense; that wouldn't be at all interesting now, would it? Just the character. And the rest of the writing. Are Australians allowed to go to British broadcasting networks and demand to replace the writers?

Yes, the story writing has improved. But they're ruining the characters. He doesn't stay for Christmas! Ever! He was supposed to sneak off while she wasn't looking, dammit! That's the beauty of the Doctor. He'll change a little as he goes along, granted, but he's a dude you can count on to know what's happening, save the day, and avoid domesticity. He doesn't come in for a bloody coffee, he goes off on a new adventure! Or the Tardis breaks down. Or somebody needs rescuing. Or something!

And let's face it, somebody needs to be smacked for making the angels move. The weeping angels were brilliant the first time. I still can't look away from a statue. But if you're going to follow up on something that good, it has to be consistent and perfect. If you ruin it, it doesn't matter how good the second story is; it's automatically bad because you've gone and screwed with something amazing.

Surely at least one of the writers will be ready to move on to other things by the time I graduate and get my butt over to Wales. Watch out for my name in the credits, okay?
