Balancing the Doctor's p.o.v. and the show's p.o.v. is I think something crucial to how the show as a whole comes across, and unfortunately something I don't think the writers always manage gracefully. Agreed. It is a bad problem and I am not sure how they have let it get as bad as it is. I suppose the people who happen to agree with the stances the show promotes cheer loudly, while those who disagree tend to just turn off and go elsewhere, so the only feedback sound the producers get to hear is positive. I would stop watching myself, except I'm hooked and can't quite let it go. And every time I think they have gone too far and I will ditch it, they produce a gem like Extremis to drag me back in.
I dream of a world in which an episode is written by Richard Hurst and James Cary (Bluestone 42) that introduces a realistic modern soldier character who goes on to become the next companion.
