I guess you could call it po-faced science-fiction, but "hard sci-fi" is really stretching it.Clearly you are unfamiliar with Chris Bidmead and his Hard sci-fi season of Doctor Who (18)

I think we got bored of pointing out Star Wars refrences, there seems to be alot.dunno if anyone's mentioned this (skipped a few pages), but did anyone else think the Dalek saucer's exit was a tad Star Wars?
Teletubbies with rayguns? Now there's a worrisome picture!I think in the end this was a marmite ep. on one hand it was alot of fun and had some nice visual effects, but on the other hand Churchill was treated as a fantasy character instead of a real historical person, the Daleks became the newest version of Teletubbies and they were pretty useless against the Doctor. And the Dalek robot was a pretty stupid idea in my mind, it would make sense for the Daleks to use such robots to become more humanoid, which would serve the show's lowered budget. In the end though despite some funny scenes this was the worst Dalek story of the new series, it was a massive reboot for the Daleks and now IMO they look even more ungainly than before.

you just asking for it nowTeletubbies or Power Ranger Daleks, which is worse?![]()
That's absolutely fantastic.
And more effective from a storytelling viewpoint. It may not be entirely logical, but a bomb turning itself off because it can love has no logic whatsoever.At least there was a decent explanation there. Through her admitting to be his mother they recognized that his DNA and physiology should be like hers and could fix their mistakes.
Yeah, that's a bullshit explanation. Why would the nanogenes recognize the basic "Human" template rather than the specific "Injured Little Boy" template then instead of any of the other five million Humans they'd encountered?
Let's face it -- it was just a "power of love triumphs" moment, just like in "Victory of the Daleks." The one in "The Doctor Dances" was just more emotionally effective.

Neither one has any logic whatsoever. Again, there is no reason on Earth for the nanogenes to encounter Human after Human after Human after Human and think they all are supposed to look like a disfigured little boy, and then suddenly encounter the boy's mum and realize where the basic "Human" template is. It's pure "The power of love conquers all," and it makes no more sense than Bracewell's remembering his lost crush being the thing that overcomes Dalek control.
everything about the bomb robot was stupid, but I figured with the Daleks in a new time, he was pretty safe.Something about it didn't work. And I can't figure out why the Doctor would have left the bomb robot behind at all.
That was just stupid.
begs the question why the Doctor has such a wide range of womens clothing.I was wondering where her clothes came from, did they go back to Leadworth to pick up some clothes? if so there is nothing to suggest that is the case.
He said in the first episode that there were plenty of clothes in the wardrobe (and possibly a swimming pool).
Seriously -- is it *REALLY NECESSARY* for every hour, minute, and second of a character's life/actions to be chronicled? Can't you just accept that fact that somewhere, sometime between the last adventure (that the audience viewed) and the current adventure (that the audience is viewing) that the characters changed clothes, ate, and/or slept? Look at Blink. Martha and the Doctor were on an adventure that we never saw before he first met Sally Sparrow.
