Doctor who, what 4 anxiety

My only exposoure to Doctor who as a child was a film called "The Seeds of Death" which I think was with the second doctor. That was pretty good. As a teenager I saw the Hollywood film where they go to see the Daleks. Was OK

More recently I saw the very first episode of Doctor who and instantly got the idea of what the show is/was about.

I'm up to episode 4 in the latest Doctor who. I can't say I'm madly impressed with the new series, (obviously I'm no expert on Doctor Who though) it's a little too silly for me, incoherent and every time period seems to have robots and aliens in even though it's set in the past and not very subtly. It feels like play acting and not all that meaningful. I mean it's yet another sci fi show that has a one thing does all device. Like in Star Gate you could basically do anything with the "Ancient" technology/knowledge. In Voyager a lot of problems was solved using the Deflector Array and in Doctor it is, of course, the sonic the hedgehog screwdriver. It does everything. I imagine it's a vibrator as well. Looks like one. Very convenient if you're a lazy writer. However the latest episode, the 4th episode was a little different. Still wildy pointless as to what the Doctor is trying to achieve in his life and he never seems to really be doing anything terribly useful but the show was clearly a metaphore for anxiety. Of course they just say fear.
I did like it... but of course... with Clara being all mothering in this episode, as someone with terrible social anxiety it's what I want to hear. Wish I had a companion... Yer it was ok, but it seemed clever as it actually used time in a clever way as she created the paradox of his irrational fear in the first place, by accident of course. The moral of the episode really was you have to just live with anxiety and treat it as a companion, and try to work with it as nature intened not fight it.

So although Doctor Who needs to be more coherent and true to the original (yes the film and one episode I saw) it is slowly getting better. Yer, it's growing on me. The Doctor does need to be cleverer though, I mean with all this knowledge of the universe I would hope to see him put it to use. He is like a giant metaphor for brains over brawn after all, is he not? There's far too much talking, or just bickering to be honest

I could write an episode or two for this show. In fact I would take full advantage of the time travel and even have a future doctor show up early on and then in a later episode we get to see the doctor actually going back in time to what we saw in the earlier episode. So the Doctor has to MANAGE TIME
