The [mainstream] community thinks that admitting the supernatural is like opening the doors of perception and reducing reality to a set of discordant images which aren’t supposed to connect together logically.

And so far as I can see, this is how R.T.D thinks. He doesn’t particularly like ‘science fiction’ or ‘fantasy’. He certainly doesn’t like science fiction fans. He thinks that the sci-fi label is an excuse to write discordant, meaningless, un-connected non-narrative; because that’s what he thinks other sci-fi is like.

I mean, I am assuming that’s the reason. I am assuming that the writer of Queer as Folk and Casanova and The Second Coming can write. He must have consciously decided not to. ‘Midnight’ and ‘Turn Left’ are really not at all bad. But ‘Journey’s End’ is not Doctor Who. It is not ‘drama’ either. It is not narrative. It is not a story. It is simply noise.

Probably the best summary of RTD’s time at the helm of Who that I’ve read.
