I don’t think I have ever seen any sign of alternative designs from Cusick.
Which, now you make me think about it, is indeed odd…

HTPBDET commented on the post, Running the Show – RTD v SM
I sought to include the detainment of the Time Lords (they are not destroyed, just contained) to be wrapped up in the concept of the Time War.
Another difference between the terms of the two show […]

Compare this with the old series where canon was changed often quite dramatically but in an almost cavalier way (and possibly the better for it). For example, Robert Holmes just tosses the […]

HTPBDET commented on the post, Running the Show – RTD v SM
I totally agree that the title here and the title there mean two different things, but both RTD and SM identify themselves as the showrunner of their eras of Doctor Who.
I think, of course, their […]

HTPBDET replied to the topic Companions past and present
Equally, as well as a future Doctor, a Companion would – in theory – be able to change the Doctor’s timeline. It’s not their own timeline. But the implication has always been that it takes the […]

So I suspect he’d now try to avoid Skaro; the point that he doesn’t mention it’s going to be destroyed by him or make any comment whatsoever that implies it will be destroyed is the continuity […]

The thing is I think it is, and please do not take offence at this, silly to talk about who contributes more or less to canon.
Often, the importance of something in the overall scheme of things […]

I guess my comments were directed to the point made above that Moffat was a greater contributor to Doctor Who canon than RTD.
I agree, absolutely, that credit for the way the episodes are written […]

Bless you.
Still very much confined to quarters, but more mobile and more leeway. A lot of time to contemplate.
My nephews are on holiday, so things are a little quieter than I would like them! […]

HTPBDET commented on the post, Running the Show – RTD v SM
See, now, this is where I think describing differences in the showrunning themes / characters etc between RTD and SM gets wibbley-wobbley. Because even though RTD would have had to approve SM’s […]

Yes, sorry – I did. Is that a bad idea?

When Clara is in the Doctor’s timestream watching his various regenerations run by, he tells her “Those are my ghosts, my past.” Since she doesn’t see any future faces – and, it seems, neither […]

@LastOfTheTimelord
Hmmm…I would not hold my breath. 🙂
I don’t think the Doctor really wanted to be ginger – and, of course, if he really wanted to be, he would be: see Romana in Destiny of the […]

Dearest @Shazzbot
For purposes of this thread, it’s definitely something Moffat added to the show (well, Neil Gaiman did, but under Moffat as showrunner). Is this something that makes Moffat’s reign different […]

So, when the GI jumped into the Doctor’s timestream, it created a universe where all of the Doctor’s victories turned to defeats. Then, Clara’s jump into the timestream created a 3rd universe […]

Personally, I think the Doctor needed to find Melody, as, indeed, he eventually did.
I don’t think any consequences arising from that for him matter – it was the right thing to do for his […]

But besides what the Tardis has been shown to be capable of, and how the Doctor reacts to being ‘controlled’ by her, how do you think this reflects the viewpoint of the current or past showrunner?
Is […] -

I did not mean to suggest that we were at the end of any particular SM arc or indeed any arc…there may well be an over-reaching one – we wont know until SM leaves I expect.
But we have had mini-arcs […]
