DOCTOR WHO-THE DOCTOR’S DAUGHTER

  DOCTOR WHO-THE DOCTOR’S DAUGHTER   This “episode” still angers me after all these years. I used to think that the whole thing should have been scrapped and never done but I think there might have been a good story to tell here but aside from all the wonky science that ABOUT TIME will tell you is asinine, there’s a lot more about it that fans should revile it as the worst RTD story ever told, never mind the brilliant FEAR HER and the innovative, different, unique LOVE AND MONSTERS, this really sucks for a number of reasons.   Here are some off the top of my head.

I found it better than FULL CIRCLE to be honest.   BTW CATACOMBS
