I think he is good.
But damn that latest episode was bad...

I've allways wanted to play "Russ Meyer's Civilization" -
That was an awful episode. The eps by Davies in this series have all been pretty atrocious, at least if you compare them to the previous series.
As far as Tennant goes, I don't quite like him like the Eccleston's Doctor, but he's good, and he's not a problem like the irritating companion and her annoying mom.Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test. Thank you for helping us help you help us all!Comment

I think the new series is great.
Tennant is great and I think the writing is of great quality for sci fiSpace is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

I thought that 'Absorbotron' episide was like one of those wierd, tangiential and eccentric X-files episodes that would crop up occasionally.
That was a fairly overt reference to oral sex at the end too, for a 'childrens' programme.Comment

As bad as Davies's episodes have been, at least they're better than the utter ****e that have been Mark Gatiss's episodes (2702 - The Unquiet Dead, 2807 - The Idiot's Lantern). That man needs to have his hands shot and his keyboard jammed into his throat, as he's written the worst episodes of both series.Originally posted by Kassiopeia

Just goes to show how opinions differ - those Gatiss episodes knock most of Davies fart-gag laden stuff for six.
It also seems that many have missed that Tenant's Doctor is supposed to have a different character to his predecessor. Tenants Doctor is normally quiter and more considered - but he also has a greater gravitas to his portrayal for me.
As far as I am concerned he is doing a great job, hope he signs an extension to his contract after next season.It is better to keep silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubtComment

I'm not saying Davies's stuff is any good, but it's better than Gatiss's.Originally posted by Havak

Also, the bigger difference is that I'm right, and you're obviously wrong.B♭3Comment

Well naturally.
I actually like Gatiss's writing - clearly my failing. I've enjoyed some of his BBC Dr Who books. He did Roundheads IIRC - and who doesn't like a good yarn about the Lord Protector?It is better to keep silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubtComment

Capt Jack giving the Doctor a kiss was a bit too much for me. He was definitely.. different. AFAIK, all of the other Doctors managed to get by without a sex life, either with their companions or anyone else.Originally posted by Provost Harrison

Oh come on now
You know Teela and the Doctor were going at it like rabbits in heat!“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

I'm sure his books are decent. And I agree, Davies seems to like flatulence a bit too much.Originally posted by Havak

Doesn't change the fact that Gatiss, while he may write good books, sucks at screenplays. It's like he used all of his ****ty ideas for the telly.B♭3Comment
