Sigh. I don't really see the point of throwing out random titles usually generated from the same unimaginative set of stock words and phrases. So I shan't be playing.

The title that's got nothing to do with the episode (like Love and Monsters)

How about just "The Doctor goes somewhere in the TARDIS" the word "adventure" leaves you expecting too much

After 'Let's Kill Hitler' and 'Dinosaurs on a Spaceship', it won't be long before a genius title like that happens...

After all, they've been back once!

Love and Monsters had EVERYTHING to do with the episode -- it was about Elton/ Ursula and their encounters with monsters...

Well, also about Elton and his mother, and Jackie and Rose. How the Doctor turns you upside down and changes your outlook on all these things...

This is very very cryptic, it's not like World War Three for example where the threat of nuclear war is on the horizon in the episode, or the poison sky in which the sky is poisoned titles like this, and Fear Her for example tell you nothing of the plot beforehand, especially when you consider that the "love" in the episode is very questionable. Based on the title, Love and Monsters could have quite easily been about a Slitheen falling in love with a human for all I knew.

No, not cryptic. An example of cryptic would be: The Bells of St John (being about the phone in the TARDIS ringing, due to the St John Ambulance sticker). Love and Monsters is simplifying the themes of the episode - a different thing.

It still has everything to do with the episode, even if you have to watch the episode to find out. It's fine to not know, from the title, what the story's going to be about, and then sit back afterwards and realise why it's called that.

"World War Three" tells you as much up-front as "Love and Monsters" does.

If that's the case then half of the episodes can be called "Love and Monsters" as they exhibit the same themes. Whereas something like "The Poison Sky", although cryptic exhibits themes unique to that episode. And although the theme of nuclear annihilation has been used in more episodes than "World War Three", its certainly been used less than the themes of "Love" and "Monsters"

"World War Three" could apply to many stories where the Earth is in conflict.

And "Human Nature" is a common recurring theme to many episodes, as is "Doomsday". Or "The End of the World". "42" could mean anything - it's only used because that's how long an episode is. And it's frequently "Midnight". Just because the title doesn't uniquely identify the elements of one story over another, doesn't mean it's in any way undescriptive.

'Love and Monsters' is a perfect title for that episode and not at all that ambiguous. It also works for that episode because its almost a summation of everything the show is about, is self referential and just fits. Certainly more interesting than the tedious style of...

Peril of the Autons
Danger of the Racnoss
Revenge of the Angels
Anger of the Timelord
Return of the Daleks
Vengeance of the Dream Lord

...which seems to be what many fans come up with.

Maybe it could be 'the doctors to do list finally completed' arc, featuring a episode where he comes back to susan, an episode where he finds gallifrey so that he can ask the original TARDIS owner to borrow it, thus making his centuries old claim finally legitimate, and much much more
