Really, Mr. Davies?

Stephanie Zvan

Who in their right minds invites the writer of “Daleks in Manhattan” back to write another two-part episode of Doctor Who? Who films a cliffhanger that involves The Doctor suddenly being too dense to break glass? Who brings back a favorite action heroine character only to have her spend most of two episodes in a coma? And who doesn’t recognize when an ending is so constrained by the law of conservation of characters as to be completely predictable?

Just askin’.

Really, Mr. Davies?

About the author

Stephanie Zvan is one of the hosts for the Minnesota Atheists' radio show and podcast, Atheists Talk. She serves on the board of Secular Woman. She speaks on science and skepticism in a number of venues, including science fiction and fantasy conventions. Stephanie has been called a science blogger and a sex blogger, but if it means she has to choose just one thing to be or blog about, she's decided she's never going to grow up. In addition to science and sex and the science of sex, you'll find quite a bit of politics here, some economics, a regular short fiction feature, and the occasional bit of concentrated weird. Oh, and arguments. She sometimes indulges in those as well. But I'm sure everything will be just fine. Nothing to worry about. Nothing at all.

    I had such high hopes for the returns of the Sontarans, especially when I heard who would be playing them. Well, playing one of them anyway. And yet I was so terribly disappointed. Honestly, I think dear Robert Holmes must have rolled over in his grave. And while I don’t mind Martha’s return, I’ve really liked Donna. Nothing against Martha, but I don’t want to see Donna sidelined.
