Doctor Who Meme - Day 28 - An Episode Idea You Created Yourself

[redfiona99]

None. So I shall use this as an excuse to talk about what I think makes a good episode.

1 - The non-Doctor and Companion characters have to be interesting and developed. I don't mind them if they're quickly sketched but I want to believe that they had lives before the Doctor appeared and will continue to have lives afterwards. It's one of the reasons why I like both Genesis of the Daleks and the Pirate Planet. It's one of the advantages that the old serials had. They had more time to be able to develop the characters.

2 - The Doctor has to be sneaky rather than violent. Or sciencey rather than violent. I don't mind a little Venusian aikido or swordfights, but I'd rather those than guns or space laser guns.

3 - The non-Doctor and Companion characters have to play some part in the solution of the episode's problem. I don't like episodes where the Doctor does everything.

4 - not a requirement, but if there's more human aliens and less human aliens, I like it when the less human ones aren't more evil than the human ones.
