[livejournal.com profile] prk, [livejournal.com profile] amarillion I owe you an apology.

I watched The Poison Sky and (under [livejournal.com profile] mynxii’s advice) tried not to think about the science. The disadvantage of this method is that the mental level to which I dropped caused my jaw to relax and subsequent drooling. The Doctor’s Daughter was a refreshing antidote, not, alas, for the science (or the chronology) but for the values that cause me to celebrate Doctor Who again and again.

In short: you were right but I still love the show.

It culminated there, but it's been building over time.

I have no problem with made up techno babble as long as it's consistent.

I have a problem when I can't suspend my disbelief, due to blatant disregard of known physics / science / mechanics. The whole ATMOS system being able to remote control cars (including changing gears) for example.

But yeah - setting the entire atmosphere on fire pushed it well past my ability to suspend disbelief and degrades my enjoyment of the show.
