2. The Mystical Power Of Love Saves The Day... Every Time
In a distressingly large number of episodes of NuWho, the villains have been defeated by nothing more than the power of love. If an example is needed, consider the end of Closing Time in which Craig overcomes Cyber-conversion by thinking of his wife and daughter. Any cop-out resolution that lame deserves to be blotted out by collective amnesia. It is nothing less than a failure of imagination. Having agreed to forget this overused plot device, can the creators of Doctor Who pledge to think of more original and interesting endings?
Mike has lived in the UK, Japan and the USA. Currently, he is based in Iowa with his wife and 2 young children. After working for many years as a writer and editor for a large corporation, he is now a freelancer. He has been fortunate enough to contribute to many books on Doctor Who over the last 20 years and is now concentrating on original sci-fi & fantasy short stories, with recent sales including Flame Tree, Uffda, and The Martian Wave. Also, look for his contribution on Blake's 7 to "You and Who Else", a charity anthology to be released later this year.
