capri0mniMy comments on that RTD interview from The Daily Mail (As ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lizbee noted, the link is spoilerific).
Most people on my f'list who've noted this, have focused on his comments about Martha, but my eye latched on to this bit:
"The chemistry between the Doctor and his assistant is the emotional dynamic of the show, with the flamboyant sexuality of Capatain Jack ... as a disruptive axis."
Funny, when I was watching the show, in Old School, the emotional dynamic was all about saving the planet, galaxy, or universe, from the Baddie. That's what I watched it for, and I learned from that, that love of the world (however big that world is) is just as important as love for each other. And love was more than "flamboyant sexuality" -- it was teaching Leela about "Big Box little, Little Box big," and teaching Jamie to read, and helping Tegan with her nightmares, and goading Sarah Jane to overcome her fears, and appreciating the Daisiest daisy, and locking out your own granddaughter, to let her find her own independance, even though it near breaks your own heart, and...
Yeah.
alto2 suggests that we watch Season 20, next year, instead. I, personally, think that's a wonderful idea...
