I agree the Black Guardian story arc wasn't '''bad '''but I don't think it was anywhere near as good as it could and should have been. At that time, of course, the show could get away with all kinds of things because the main audience reaction was "At least we don't have to put up with Adric any more!" (In those days, I was watching the show on a communal TV set in the local Students' Union and, when Adric got blown up, the entire -- fairly large -- audience '''cheered'''.) --[[Special:Contributions/89.242.67.85|89.242.67.85]] 20:28, September 7, 2011 (UTC) | I agree the Black Guardian story arc wasn't '''bad '''but I don't think it was anywhere near as good as it could and should have been.

I have no idea what Moffat has in store for this story line, but if it continues like this, I won't be watching Dr. Who again until someone else is in charge. The Doctor is sleeping with his friends' daughter (Woody Allen look out) and Rory and Amy are now banished to earth like good little minions to go about their lives without having at least gotten in one on air puch to the Doctor to go get their baby before she turns into Mels./ River. I love River Song as a character, and I liked Amy and Rory having a child. Even if it had a time head. But wibbly wobbly timey wimey won't cut through the BS of this story line. This season turned Amy into a weakling (she had problems giving CPR to a man who waited 2000 years for her!) and made Rory so ineffective as a father. A buch of mad adventures with the Doctor (seriously, does Moffat think parents of a kidnapped child would give a damn about anything besides getting her back BEFORE she gets brainwashed?) and then he drops them off to live out the rest of their days wondering what happened to their baby. I wonder, will the Doctor go and get River's body from the Library so they at least know how she died? No, probably not. Amy was a good vessel for a new pseudo timelord and Rory was tolerated as a nice pet. And now its really quite alright with Amy and Rory that they grew up with their daughter? I'm with Amy on this one, "Timelord's just a name, it doesn't mean he knows anything." and unless Moffat has something really brillant up his sleve, I call this a clasic example of ruining a really good story line for your own ego's sake. | |||
