Disagreed. Almost every explanation I've ever heard on Doctor Who makes more sense than the convoluted mess that sprung from RTD's mind. I honestly, honestly don't know how you can compare them. (Besides, Megan's been exposed to a fair bit of Doctor Who by now... and she has never once criticized or thought twice about an explanation given in the old series. I don't usually take issue with them either. At least writers back in the good old days knew how to make events happen that actually made sense for the most part. Even if the explanations are somewhat lacking, at least the events are not completely fucking mind-blowingly preposterous and then followed by shit explanations.)

Of course there should be extra stuff in there. It just shouldn't be shit.
