Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


And this gets at a paradox that's at the heart of almost everything Davies does, and not just on ''Doctor Who''. He is, as a writer, obsessed with death. The idea of loss and mourning is one of his baseline, default themes. But his response to it is and always has been a sort of hedonism. Death, for Davies, is a fundamental reason to live... And so the one thing he can't successfully make a spectacle out of is death itself. Which means that ''[[Series/TorchwoodMiracleDay Miracle Day]]'' is on the one hand an attempt at [[UpToEleven the most Davies story ever to exist,]] and on the other something that Davies is fundamentally ill-suited to writing. It's not, ultimately, that ''Miracle Day'' doesn't work because Davies didn't put enough time into it. It's that ''Miracle Day'' doesn't work because it's fundamentally not an idea Davies was ever going to succeed with. More than anything, including the problems of [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E17E18TheEndOfTime "The End of Time"]], this is the show that really demonstrates that Davies's approach to sci-fi television eventually hit its limit."''

And so here's the thing. I was prepared for them to be mad, or disappointed, or start crying or something. But they were just in DENIAL. "You're too young to know what you want," "you and Lonnie are just GOOD FRIENDS," "you just haven't met the right BOY..." "It's a PHASE." That's what I didn't see coming. That they wouldn't even respect me enough... to BELIEVE me.\\
