Wow! Big episode thingies happening this week! Doctor goes all "respect my authority" on the three stooges! Historical setting! Literary figures! Classic villain! Lack of resolution!
If you wanted to save the people in the camp why not just land the Tardis into the middle of the camp or at least close by.
Watched the Ascension of the Cybermen last night. Entertaining but I can't help but wonder why the Doctor doesn't use the Tardis? The trend is to park the Tardis far away and then walk into the scene. If you wanted to save the people in the camp why not just land the Tardis into the middle of the camp or at least close by.
I hate to hark back to the good ol' days again, but I grew up on a Doctor that didn't spend much time in a TARDIS.
I imagine it was a bit of both logistics and writing. They could only do much for a set, but who wants to watch folks yammering in a room when there is all of space and time to explore???
It's kind of like Spielberg and Jaws. "Dammit, when are you gonna fix that shark?!? Hey, wait a minute . . . ."
I dont mind it not being around. I just wished they would have written in a reason why it wasn't used. Just a line ok r two would have made me happy.Just like the sonic screwdriver was turning into some sort of cure-all magic wand, the Tardis was becoming something of a wizard's cloister with a flippin' Batcomputer. I love the Tardis, but I also haven't missed it. Like @Doc4 mentioned, it's a better story. The way everything has evolved, the whole show could be The Doctor pushing and pulling stuff on a Tardis panel and madly waving around the Sonic. Problem solved!
I am not aware of the story there. Do tell ...

The fact that the shark was barely seen at all until nearly the end actually built tremendous tension and made the monster much more frightening than it ever could have been if seen throughout the film.
I think I recall Ridley Scott saying that learned from Jaws and applied that same lesson to Alien.
She will just wave the sonic around really fast..Not sure how they're going to be able to wrap it all up in one finale,
Agree. A huge rewrite of established canon.That rocked!
