None of these stories relied at all upon 'Timey Wimey' plots and were entirely straight forward Doctor Who episodes.
So there you go. Balance. Where the whole time travel aspect is largely irrelevant once they get to their location.
So your comment that 'the whole show shouldn't rely on this' is shown as untrue because it clearly doesn't.”

okay, I conceed that it may have been a little heavy handed to say 'the whole show' but I think Im not the only one who has noticed that sort of stuff is a lot more prominent these day's. At the end of the day, I think for all of us, it's hard sometimes to say why we prefer one era over another, and both have their fair share of good episodes, but I just feel in general, for me, each series as a whole used to grab me, and now it just dosen't, although, as said I still watch because individually more good episodes than bad. although the ratio has gotten worse in moffat's time. in RTD's time it was about 3 bad or mediocre ep's to 9 good one's, now, judging my opinion on series 6 & 7 it's more like 7 good one's to 6 either bad or mediocre one's.
