the plot wasn't coherent or satisfying, the whole thing with the rani and omega just got thrown away really quickly to the point where i couldn't even fathom how there were still THIRTY ENTIRE MINUTES LEFT. on top of that, rtd continued to sideline his non-white leads (archie panjabi's rani, belinda, and even THE DOCTOR, aka the titular character of the show!) for white characters in particular ruby, and then to top it off, made the dumbest choice for the next doctor he could have possibly made. russell t davies needs to stop writing for doctor who immediately. DEEPLY disappointed in what he did to 15's tenure. he gave belinda so little characterization that he had to invent a daughter for her in order to make up a reason she should leave when she ALREADY HAD ONE. also, the line about blonde girls was projecting — more of the doctor's blonde girl companions have been from rtd than not. maddening that he brought back billie piper as the next doctor. THE SHOW NEEDS TO MOVE ON. especially from rose tyler! she is one of the most praised and referenced companions, and billie piper has ALREADY COME BACK IN A DIFFERENT ROLE. i find it unfair and inappropriate that she should come back as well but given that we've already had david tennant come back (also not a choice i agree with, he had his time already) the artistic integrity of the show is out the window at this point. very upset with this episode, as it's hammered home that all my existing problems with RTD are not something he's interested in fixing.
