Comments on: Russell T. Davies: The Hack Who Cried “Bad Wolf” http://www.edrants.com/russell-t-davies-the-hack-who-cried-bad-wolf/ a blog in ever-shifting standing Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:15:38 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Stephen http://www.edrants.com/russell-t-davies-the-hack-who-cried-bad-wolf/comment-page-1/#comment-245610 Stephen Mon, 30 Jun 2008 17:37:08 +0000 http://www.edrants.com/?p=7702#comment-245610 I thought Saturday night's Doctor Who was fun. RTD gets a hell of a lot of stick from hardcore fans but he brought the show back when nobody else wanted to. Fair enough, the Christmas specials have been poor but most I can forgive that.

Yeah, I think so. I mean, come on. It's Russell T. Davies, who's sort of the gay Michael Bay*, going further than he's ever gone before. Who wouldn't want to see that? It won't make any sense at all, but it'll be underpants-hat crazy." He didn't think it was a travesty. He thought it was ridiculous but fun! See, I think Anders actually does get the show:

There's no satisfactory way to resolve that. Sigh. "Daleks do not accept apologies." You’re right about the cliffhanger, Ed. There’s no satisfactory way to resolve that. Sigh.

“Daleks do not accept apologies.”

Wait for it. c) I'm not sure that we're headed for another "it all didn't happen" episode, and it's unfair to criticize the episode for something it hasn't done. I have more to say, but nothing that wouldn't give away the ending to those who haven't seen it yet. d) Rose running around with a giant gun blowing up daleks = awesome e) Davros = awesome f) Shadow Proclamation = awesome g) Daleks - "Exterminate UNIT!" = awesome h) Daleks - "Exterminate Torchwood!" = awesome (okay, that show = fucking aweful) i) Phil agrees with you about Galactica, though I'm more forgiving of that show, too. Though it is a let down after Razer, which I thought was pretty good, to get bogged down in so much religious mumbo-jumbo, and I still don't understand a timeline where the Cylon's planted a "skin-job" into the colonial fleet over 40 years ago when that was supposed to be a new technology they were still developing at the time that Adama was in the fleet. a) The explanation for how Davros escaped death is no more ridiculous than the explanations for how Davros escaped death (multiple times) in the original series.
