Re: Fish finders and Custard - Anyone watch Doctor Who?

I'm sort of happy to see the previous writer (Russel T. Davies?) leaving.  I suppose he had some good episodes, but he seems like an atheist who needs reassuring that it is a good choice.  Many of his plot lines seem drawn right out of the Bible, especially his season finallies.  Doctor Who as the not so reluctant savior.  It's sad when a writer doesn't have the good taste to leave the sacred alone.  None of the previous Doctors had to resort to re-treading the gospels or toying with Christian imagery.

My 2 cents.

Rather than being motivated by a particular ideology, I thought Davies was just simply good-old-fashioned insane. Took a dive into the deep end of the crazy pool.




I'm happy to see the show back, especially with a bigger budget.  Every now and then it even shows up on PBS.
