Well, that's how they fanwanked it on the commentary, but he did admit that, yeah, no one told him about it.
I suspect RTD of being a bit of a control-freak sometimes.
There's trust and then there's not sharing the season arc. The first one can make sense, the second one confuses me.
Nah, Torchwood's not needed there and he must have known the emo arc because it fits *that* perfectly.
With Reinette, a connection was formed because of telepathy. It was a shortcut. It felt like a shortcut and so I couldn't buy the romance.
Well, Rusty said to use La Pompadour, so... I actually felt it earned it's romance more than S1 did, in that it gives a bit of reasoning even if said reasoning is a fanboy crush and some mindmeld mojo. Which mojo manages to utterly work with the Lonely God theme and then of course the whole thing gets into the love/loss by the end.
Reinette just got to magically know, in one moment.
