What were your issues with the Victorian cyberspecial out of interest?
My real problem with the episode had to do with how it came together at the end. Morrisey's "Next" Doctor, although not the
true Doctor, has been cavorting about London, achieving all manner of impossible (or at least highly improbable) and heroic deeds. For all intents and purposes, he really
is The Doctor. So, in the scene where he and the 10th Doctor release all the child laborers from their bonds, he discovers his lost son. This is really his big moment, the point in the episode where he really ought to be the hero he didn't know he was before taking on the role of "The Doctor". But what happens? He freezes, and the 10th Doctor, who has plenty of other opportunities to play the hero before the episode is over, swings up like a swashbuckler to save the day, totally upstaging the boy's father.
I'll admit it, the culmination of this episode offended my sensibilities as a father, and I believe it underscored some flawed* notions RTD has about the father-child relationship. That really was the moment where the father needed to be the hero to his own child, and Davies either didn't understand that, didn't care, or had disdain for the idea. Not only do I think it would have been appropriate for Morrisey's character to play the hero in that scene, I think it would have had more significant impact on the viewers -- not only is The Doctor a hero himself, but he inspires others to deeds of great heroics. It was a lost moment, and, worse than that, a badly fumbled one.
!i!
[Edit: Okay, if not flawed, at least found wanting.]
