Thread Name: BS: New Doctor Who themes
Subject: RE: BS: New Doctor Who themes
I took theme to mean plot, which I happen to have a most modest example...


Along the lines of the movie Falling Down starring Michael Douglas, Dr. Who slowly discovers that he is in fact the bad guy. Having overlooked the temporal and chemical pollution that the Tardis has been increasingly spewing throughout the universe it is discovered that the Daliks were actually a program to limit the awful Tardis pollution but went askew when the Dr. forced them into a defense mode.

The regenerative amnesiac Dr. realizes that he is both an unemployed loose cannon of a long since past temporal research program AND that he is divorced from one of the most respected life form in the universe, only to find that a time cop is hot on his trail to enforce child support that is in arrears for 2,200 years.

The battle between the Dr. and cop resoves itself in a 3part thriller by cleaverly manipulating election results of an obscure Texas govenor in the 20th century.
