Well at first it seems they dont want to kill companions, so they park them at another dimension/Organization/Virtual World/ Space Trip etc.
Fine by me.
Recently though they keep getting rescued which turns otherwise beautiful plots into a farce. ( 'Donna Noble has been saved' anyone? )
The End of the season where Rose got stuck in another Dimension was very good. Now it seems they just decided to bring her back? Why? It kind of takes the purpose and beauty of some other episodes away
(Although the Previews are usually misleading)
Perhaps they should start to kill passing companions for the greater good of the series. The possible Archeologist Companion which seems to start with her death seemed quite clever. I mean Her End as a fixed Situation where the story leads to? Genius!Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!Comment

I know what you mean - when a series degenerates so that bringing back old characters is the most interesting thing they can do it's usually the end. And I don't think we should be there yet with Doctor Who.
I have to say I've not been that impressed with season 4. Some decent episodes yes, but nothing to match say Girl in the Fireplace, Impossible Planet/Satan Pit, Army of Ghosts/Doomsday from season 2, or Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks or Blink from season 3.Comment

To be honest, while I really like Rose Tyler and Martha Jones, and I can tolerate Donna Noble...
I miss having Jack Harkness in there.
Also, I'd really rather be the companion, myself.B♭3Comment

Thank god he's handed the reins over to Steven Moffat now...
Indeed. And don't forget The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances from season 1 (one of my favourite episodes) and Human Nature/Family of Blood...I have to say I've not been that impressed with season 4.

Indeed! Was really happy when I saw this as the best one part episodes (Girl in the Fireplace and Blink) were done by him as well as the two parter you mentioned.Originally posted by Zoid

Funnily enough I researched him on wiki a couple of weeks ago and found out he wrote an obscure sitcom years back called Joking Apart that I always thought was totally brilliant and underappreciated.Comment

I reckon they should make the two-part episodes the standard. They seem to be a cut above the rest.Comment

I haven't seen that one. But "Coupling" was bloody hilarious...Originally posted by DrSpike

Yeah, I was initially sceptical when they moved to the 45 minute episodes (from the old 90 minute+ split into 20-25 minute episodes). There have been some great single episodes but all too often it isn't enough time, and I agree the two parters have been much stronger. Part of this may be more effort going into them as well though.Originally posted by Sandman

Funnily enough on both episode time and Moffat, I just saw the library two-parter from season 4. Needless to say, it was awesome!

This week's episode was weird and how the hell did Rose Tyler appear on the screen in the spacecraft's entertainment system?Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment
