@Borusa Quite, there's a long history of Who stories (And, you know, stories in general) being inspired by other things and putting their own spin on it. There's nothing wrong with that.

Also, why has one of my comments been deleted?

It’s what you do with it that counts. And the idea that Moffat doesn’t bring anything fresh is wrong.

Episode titles are inspired by other things all the time – not only with Doctor Who, but a lot of other shows as well. You just can’t put too much into the title of an episode… It’s the story that counts, just like Borusa is saying.

Ha! I’ve gotta admit you’re right there, Steve. I completely agree! (Good name that…Steve…I like it. Do you know, I’ve got a small, purple plastic tortoise called Steve.)

@Steve

Titles have been ripped off all sorts of things as have Doctor Who stories, most obviously during the Philip Hinhcliffe era when they ripped off so many Hollywood films from the 1950s. An era which of course is regarded as the Golden Era of the show.

So this is hardly anything new and can’t say that everything previously and in the Classic Series was original. Even the Classic Series had some very unimaginative titles. At its core nothing is truly original, so why shouldn’t Moffat be allowed to use titles from elsewhere?

And Steve if you truly don’t like where the show is heading then stay off this site. It’s not going to change anytime soon and anything Moffat does you’ll dislike because you want to dislike it.

For me the titles are fine and don’t bother me. It’s the content that’s important and that’s what I’ll judge the episodes on, not their titles.

Great way toi shape up the new series –

Asylum of the Daleks – Asylum of the Damned (2003)
Dinosaurs on a Spaceship – Snakes on a Plane (2006)
A Town Called Mercy – A Town Like Alice (1956)

Sorry but I am still waiting for something original to come from Steven Moffat!
