Spoilers Russell T. Davies Returns to Doctor Who as New Showrunner

[Starkers]

I didn’t go back on anything.

You really did.

At first you said "At least Moffat let other people write episodes." When pointed out that of course RTD lets other people write episodes you countered with "ah but RTD wrote half of them and one of the others was just a shopping list" When I pointed out that in Series 5 Moff wrote practically half the episodes, and one of the others was a shopping list episode you roll back and say you never claimed RTD didn't let others write episodes, but surely the inference from "At least Moffat let other people write episodes" is that RTD didn't, which is of course a complete fallacy.

I get it, I think everyone here is cognisant of how much you hate Russell, you rarely if ever have anything positive to say about him and never miss an opportunity to take a dig.

Just a reminder that 'The Deadly Assassin' was hated back in 1976 for changing the way Time Lords were portrayed, with some members of the DWAS demanding Hinchcliffe be fired.

I see people are reacting sanely and rationally to the news that the "Sea Devils" will be called Homo Aqua in TWB, because the former is a 'racist' term coined by humans for them.

Now if you want to argue that "Homo" is wrong as they are reptilian, go for it.

Aqua Sapiens seems a bit better. I dont know, I don't really care about that sort of thing. It's just the Sea Devils.

It's the Silurians being called Eocenes thing again. It'll pass.

I did not know that.
