when people talk about the massive failure of RTD2 doctor who the one heavily criticised decision that i will defend is opening on space babies. the show is for children and i think its good for the writers to actually remember that. the problem is the episode is terrible but lol you cant win em all

Problem is, it was trying to do both. Its seasonal big bads were these classic era villains, the Toymaker, Sutekh, Rani and Omega. But they did Omega and Sutekh so poorly that NONE of the classic era fans liked his inclusion

yeah russ's achille's heel is that he's way too big a doctor who fan knock it OFF no one knows who sutekh is

He's trying to capture the Master reveal from series 3. But it lacks the same weight. It doesnt have three years of "The Doctor is the last Time Lord" building into it. You didnt need to be hyped because it was the Master. You could be hyped because you finally get to see another Time Lord.

I don't know if this is as much a demographics problem as it is an overall quality problem, I think a doctor who aimed at a slightly more mature audience (late teens to adults) has the chance to be successful, it just hasn't actually been attempted in anything more then the most half assed way,

The biggest issue I think DW faces nowadays is that it's trying to balance itself between hard core diehards, kids who don't actually watch television anymore and general audiences, and it fails to really properly appeal to any of those, the other issue is that the show has generally been pretty...
