The coalescent award for wrongheadedness on the subject of Doct

[brixtonbrood]

And the winner is Sam Wollaston of The Guardian - for this dazzling display of WTF-ism:

Have you ever been out with your boyfriend or girlfriend and bumped into an ex, and suddenly longed to be back with them? Well, that's what this episode feels like to me. Catherine Tate really puts everything into this episode (too much, maybe). But as soon as Rose shows, Donna's a goner.

Shome pishtake, shurely?

To both your subject line and the quote I can only say: "..."

The award has your name for your apparent belief (vis a vis The Girl in the Fireplace) that the lack of a scientifically coherent and consistent theory of time travel is a serious failing in Doctor Who.

Did I say that about the Gitface? I thought my objection was that the ending was a cop-out. I wanted the Doctor to have to live through the intervening 4,000 years, and thus turn up back at the space station by the slow boat, but no, he had to find a magic way out. :)

Wanting him to take the slow way around is entirely reasonable (and the people who objected to him "abandoning" Rose (and Mickey, but he tended to get overlooked) are also high-grade wrongheads), but I'm sure you objected to the handwaving explaining his failure to just get in the TARDIS and go and rescue Reinette.

Ah, that does sound familiar, actually...
