Is the doctors sonic being used to get the doctor out of tricky situations too often? Should it go back to being used just to open locked doors? I will be discussing all of this in this post... Yes the doctors sonic is being overused: It is being used as a deus ex machina to often which means it is being used to get the doctor out of tricky situations instead of the writers using their brains and thinking of an imaginative way to get the doctor out of trouble rather than the doctors sonic. In the 'classic' series we saw the doctors sonic open doors (accept wood or deadlock seals, why the writers came up with this I don't know) sure we saw him stun a few creatures and create a few explosions but that was about it. A handy tool good for opening doors which is fine. Then the new series comes along with the sonic doing all sort's of things like sonicing a phone so you can get in touch with the doctor. The first few series' weren't too bad with overuse on the sonic then series 7 comes along and it does loads of different things. It was overused WAY too much in 'the rings of Akhaten' then in 'The crimson horror' it was just silly. It got the doctor back from being part of the crimson horror to back to his normal self, clothes and all. That would never have happened in the classic series and that was just too far I think. No the doctors sonic is not being overused: It is the sonic screwdriver, one of the doctors most trusty weapons and most recognised weapon. It needs to be used a lot even if it is a deus ex machina. Final verdict: As you can see above there are much more things agreeing that the doctors sonic is being overused than disagreeing. Overall I hope that next series we don't see as much of the sonic screwdriver and more of the writers being a little more imaginative, we should only see it when the doctor wants a door opening (so long as it isn't made of wood.)

Another post? I am very busy at the moment with homework, so I won't be posting things as much. I will do some things for you tomorrow if you like. (also I notice on other people's weebly site they don't really update it as much as I have been doing so I am not doing it as much) But never fear! Keep checking the site. Updates will be random :)
