Planet Nectarius

I’ve been meaning to rant about how crap the season finale of Doctor Who was.

Russell T Davies is a shockingly bad writer, I’m hoping he sticks to being the boss next season and lets the talent do the scripts. That is after we are inflicted with his christmas special starring Kylie Minogue trying to act.

I’m not really good at coherent rants however so I direct this post towards this blog. I’m so happy to see that there are people don’t rate the finale as the “best who eva!”

My hopes for next season are that RTD stops writing, let him inflict his scripts on Torchwood. I love Torchwood, but it seems a far more suitable medium for his sensationalist over the top stories. The other hopes are that they deal with Martha’s character intelligently, and that they get Steven Moffat (who wrote the episode Blink) to write a few.

Blink was by far the best episode of the series and that says a lot for the writer when the Doctor and Martha were barely in it, yet great when they were. Steven Moffat, I am your fan!

Okay big spoiler rant follows:

About Torchwood… I was remembering some of the best bits of the season.

I think one of the stand-out scenes for the whole show was when Captain Jack Harkness kissed the real Captain Jack Harkness from the past. They really look liked they’d fallen in love. Not to mention it being a damn great story.

Actually they more acurately, pashed, or maybe snogged. No.. I think pashed fits best. In the most traditional “I love you and I’ll never see you again” movie style. Which is usually done really badly in crap blockbusters, but in this it was really emotional and inspiring. You don’t see that between two men very often. Yay for Torchwood!
