Notes:

1. FRIENDING MEME III is still going!
2. Fandom comm meme at

heard_of_it!
3. Going to be doing some advertising for

livelongnmarry until the 15th! Thought it'd be win-win, people get to get their sites/comms out there, you get to find site/comms you might not have seen, and all the money gets donated, so. Just a little bit of extra scrolling to do, if you're not interested. (:

livelongnmarry [LJ] - panfandom auctions! Tons of stuff to bid on, and for a good cause.
Juxtapose Fantasy [website] - Yaoi/slash fans - have you visited JuxtaposeFantasy yet?
More Tales of Mu [website] - (More) Tales of MU: High Fantasy, Higher Education.

The man has obviously failed -- epically -- every single science class he's ever taken. His plots rarely, if ever, have any basis in scientific reality. ("IF EVERYONE SAYS HIS NAME AT THE SAME TIME, HE WILL TURN INTO TINKERBELL JEEBUS AND TURN BACK TIME A YEAR! YAY!") And we're expected to just go "YAY, MAGIC" and accept it.

I think I would respect him more if they didn't have writers like Paul Cornell ("Father's Day" and "Human Nature/Family of Blood") and Steven Moffat ("The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances," "The Girl in the Fireplace," "Blink," and "Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead") on the show, who write episodes with both brilliant plots AND fantastic dialogue. RTD cannot measure up to them and I could not be happier that Moffat is replacing him.

That said, RTD has had his share of awesome plot twists, even if I feel like he TRIES to pack as much WTF-ery into each episode as possible. Last Saturday's episode, anyone? And he has ripped my heart right out of my chest and stomped on it many, many times. Ahem, "Doomsday." But I still don't think he's a good writer.

Everyone says his name at the same time/everyone calls the Doctor at the same time...reaching back into the past a bit, RTD?

I agree with you, btw. Where does he come up with this stuff?

("IF EVERYONE SAYS HIS NAME AT THE SAME TIME, HE WILL TURN INTO TINKERBELL JEEBUS AND TURN BACK TIME A YEAR! YAY!") And we're expected to just go "YAY, MAGIC" and accept it.

Um, we like to call this sort of thing "science-fantasy" because, uh, you know, all the shit the doctor does with the traveling through time and having two hearts and regenerating and having super mind powers etc.... that's also not science. But there's a certain amount of ridiculousness we accept for the sake of the story.

I think the whole idea of the Doctor being able to harness the collective power of the human race is perfectly logical, if not the most spectacular or clever idea ever written. It was acceptable, which is enough for me.
