Everybody likes this, but, for some reason I can't pinpoint, I couldn't stand it. Dunno why.


I don't.

I might be misremembering episodes but this was one of the worst uses of the sonic screwdriver which somehow changes an electric powered vehicle into a ROCKET PROPELLED vehicle.

I truly don't understand why so many people continue to give this show a pass for the laziest writing of any Sci-Fi show I have ever watched.

Almost 100% of the episodes end with the lazy wand being waved and doing things it never did before. There is a reason the damn thing was called a SCREWRIVER.

Ok, 2 complaints.
I normally don't mind screwdriver silliness or silly robots, but they didn't fit this otherwise creepy/bleak episode.

It's more about the characters and the journey for me. I don't need the science to be believable.
