Quote - ...but they're going to take some time to get to a level equal to Farscape, for example, or BSG.

Funnily enough, those are two shows that I think utterly and profoundly dwarf the new Doctor Who in terms of concept and writing (forget special effects and other production values).

As a long standing Doctor Who fan (that remembers the Patrick Troughton years from first showing), I find the new version to be too derivative of the old (and now, of itself!) to be interesting. I guess I've moved on somewhat.

But I'm glad that so many are enjoying it and that it is being introduced to a new generation. I sincerely hope it can move on from its past -  the basic notion of 'time traveller at large' has serious potential to be at the cutting edge of science fiction. So many opportunities...
