The recent episode, on saturday, I think was rather a poor story (shades of Discworld/City in the Stars notwithstanding).

I agree. Why, for example, can't they just have an X state without needing X sitting in X all over the place acting like X? And if X were endangering the X, then the X would be far more dangerous in X.

It plays on the thread about why we are willing to suspend disbelief on some aspects of a story but get stuck on others. Even when you are willing to allow a belief in time travel, the "solar flares" reason for the setting of that episode was so stupid that it wasn't even wrong. (Details of which I won't get into because of spoiler territory.)

Yes; I used to be a professional astronomer, so I'm well aware of the silliness of that. But forget the "science" - Doctor Who has never been about accurate science, any more than "Star Trek" has; I just thought that it was a damn good story.

Doctor Who regeneration was 'modelled on LSD trips' (BBC Memo from website)

The entire 1970s were modeled on LSD trips...

I'm looking forward to Saturday's episode. The Daleks are back during WWII.
