Quote: Matthew Stott @ January 4 2010, 4:31 PM GMTA wee bit narrowminded to think you can't have both.
The problem with RTD's Who is clearly that it doesn't tend to have both. There's an overabundance of the one at the expense of the other.
So perhaps you could f**k off with your patronising 'narrowminded' comments a wee bit?

Quote: Matthew Stott @ January 4 2010, 4:46 PM GMTI don't myself recall the warm emotional Trek you're speaking of, but I'll take your word for it! Anyway, I doubt Trek would pick up ten million viewers on BBC1, as it wouldn't appeal quite so across the board as Who seems to at the moment.
What about the warm fuzzy homoerotica between Kirk and Spock? Something me and John Lucas try to recreate on these very boards.

Affirmative, Captain.

Yey!
Perhaps Davies thought Torchwood wasn't camp enough?
New series writers announced:
"Lead writer Steven Moffat will write six of the thirteen episodes. He will be joined by Chris Chibnall who is writing two episodes and Mark Gatiss, Toby Whithouse, Gareth Roberts, Richard Curtis and Simon Nye all writing one episode each."
Aw, I was still hoping Neil Gaiman was going to write an episode. Some odd names in there, but then I thought it bizarre when it was announced the writer of Coupling was going to be writing for Who, and look how well that turned out. It does mean about half the writers for this series are most well known for comedy though, and Simon Nye feels odd; but again, so did Moffatt.
Simon Nye could be interesting. But Richard Curtis?.......

All of his episdoes have been quite filler so far, haven't they? Not awful, but just 'they'll do', 'nothing too exciting' sort of episodes. I was hoping Robert Shearman, who wrote 'Dalek', was also going to be back.

Yeah, bit odd that he's just written the one episode. I can't imagine that he wouldn't be asked back.

Yes, good pick.

I heard that he and RTD didn't get on, or there was some sort of problems (Might not be true of course)and so hoped with a new regime he might come back, because Dalek was awesome.

And Paul Cornell, I thought the Human Nature two parter was one of the best of the new Who stories; certainly up there with any of the Moffatt ones in my view.

I really liked it, but it's one of those emotional ones that I know rankles some!
