We finally got the chance to watch Saturday's episode of Dr. Who. We had missed it because we were out of town.
It started out promisingly, but that didn't last. Sadly, this was one of those episodes where Dr. Who turns into Dr. WTF? The people writing Dr. Who nowadays have come up with some wonderful episodes, but they've also produced some exceedingly bad ones, and I think the latter kind tend to happen when they forget that they're writing fun, silly adventure stories and try to create Art.
I think that as a general rule, writers should never try consciously to create Art. The result is almost always not only rubbish, but, even worse, the kind of rubbish that makes you wince.

I couldn't agree more. Tell a story. Tell it well. Try to tell it to as many people as possible. And let the story stand on its merit.
Excellent point, David.
