#the science is so blindingly bad in that episode that I tend to focus on how much that part of it drives me bananas

the trouble with trying to rewrite this particular episode is that the episode, as aired, is just so bad that it's physically painful to rewatch
#I mean#that is why I'm rewriting it instead of just doing a post-ep or missing scene#like I've done for a lot of other parts of this series#and yes I'm back on my bullshit again#finally#2024 mood#process thoughts#my writing#The Forest For The Trees#For As Long As We Get#In The Forest of the Night#the science is so blindingly bad in that episode that I tend to focus on how much that part of it drives me bananas#but the internal logic of the episode is basically non-existent too#and the characterization is terrible and feels forced and weird#the dialogue is a mess and the pacing is awful and the tone is all over the place bouncing from horror to comedy#it's just so DUMB so frequently in 45 minutes#but extinction-level CMEs are a super cool topic for scifi!#a world-wide forest growing overnight is the sort of fairytale nonsense that Doctor Who should be made for!#the Doctor should be good with children! or at least bond with a particular special child#but no the episode manages to screw up all of it over and over and over again#at least in the rewrite I'm having a lot of fun with post-break-up Danny being wonderfully obnoxious#I will turn this episode into something I love even if I have to take the raw concepts back to the drawing board and start from scratch#I'm 9000+ words into what I think will probably be an 18k-20k chaptered fic#maybe I can actually manage to finish and post it this time#wish me luck
