THE Doctor Who Thread

I was disappointed in the finale for Matt Smith. After such a strong special for the anniversary, it felt rushed and jam packs too many things into an hour.

One of my biggest issues with the whole series is too often, The Doctor will be in peril and then all of a sudden he does something which hasn't been set up, etc.

For example, when they were facing the stone gargoyles (weeping angels or something), he took a wig off and revealed he had shaved his head and hidden something in his wig that could call the tardis. The shaving of the head and the wig was all done off camera, so makes no sense really.

The worst part was, he had already been shown naked and said that his clothes are a hologram. Why couldn't they have set the wig thing up at this point too?

They do this with countless other things. The Doctor aces death, and all of a sudden he knows to reverse the polarity of something with his sonic screwdriver without any previous knowledge. Lazy, get out clause, "it was all a dream" writing.
