Re: android invasion?

Hello Stardoe,

I thank you for your insights into the final shows with our Sarah. I'll be watching for her in particular in the final two stories and I agree with you she is already acting like The Doctor
in her own show and presumably in the final two stories of Dr Who.
Mind you she was always quite wilful in the '70's and often helping the Doctor on her own.
Eg. in Terror of the Zygons, without Sarah, UNIT and the Doctor wouldn't know something about the aliens, a sample of their technology and that the Fox Inn (In West Sussex was it?) was being bugged. Clearly Sarah was a pivotal 'part of the team'.
I'll be mindful of that as I view it, bearing in mind that last night here in Hobart I saw a few previews for Sunday, with lots of Dalek spaceships zooming about an a collage of Dr who associates appearing with a Dalek or two doing what they do best. Looks good.

Also, I'm sympatico with your assessment of the lovey dovey nonsense with Rose and later Martha.
I was initially positive, but I'm afraid my view of them both declined as the romantic aspect was pushed.
This is a frequent complaint I hear from many people.

Donna I agree is more traditional, she's also a little older, more mature and not afraid to get a bit lippy if she doesn't like something.
There is a touch of Sarah in there.
I dislike the quasi 'deification' of the Doctor though in some quarters.
There is a tendency in some stories and with some people to confer on him a 'Christ-like'
aspect that I feel is inapt.

Call me a twit, but I still think the Tardis interior is too cluttered and confusing.
I prefer the original white futuristic interior so the actors could be properly seen.
Either that of the Edwardian console room in the Masque of Madragora/Hand of fear stories with the wood panelling.
That one would be good to see back.

Thanks again Stardoe for your insights, I'll be sure to be watching on Sunday night here.
Good health to you.
Phil en route to the Fleur de Lys
