[QUOTE]Originally posted by StationMaster: [QB] I think the worst thing about it is this. On Doctor Who, as in the original, was cheap, low budget (translates as utterly naff). As in "we need an alien this week....." and then "I know, I will put a cardboard box on my head with a few milk bottle tops and presto, this weeks alien". When the new DW came through, with a more sizable budget, good special effect, etc, it was amazing. However, virtually all DW fans agree that there are moments.... utterly naff, low budget, cringe worth moments in the new DW. And yet, we, as fans, let them get away with it, because it IS Doctor Who. In fact, if it was a flashy, high budget, CGI filled romp, then in truth, it would not be DW anymore (much like the mini movie thing). However the big wigs thought that they could do a "its not a spin off, but a stand alone series" spin off, and they could get away with it. Wrong. And while the first series of DW left you teetering on your seat with the "what is Bad Wolf?", the second was Torchwood..... and by the end of it, you were ready to shoot the next person that said Torchwood. There was no mystery, no "oooh what is Torchwood?" Nope, this was a promotional gimmic. So, what is Torchwood's "ohh" thing? Captain Jack cannot die..... Sorry, but to be blunt, surely that makes him, oh, lets just say (spoiler)... A Time Lord? Have the Time Lords been reborn through the Human race? Is the Doctor no longer alone in the Universe.... Well, at least he could stop whinging about it.... And does that also apply to the others on Sat 5 who were brought back? Sorry, but if that is the way they are going, which judging by the hap hazard way they are scripting the shows, then sorry folks, but no point in leaving us in suspense... we guessed it already. Yawn..... BTW - the series was fecking me off that much I had to write the original post..... Chris [/QB][/QUOTE]
