   No it doesn't. It clearly show that Davies and McTighe are totally shit   
   writers who don't understand character, characterisation, or character   
   dependent plot development. Interstellar shows you how to do it properly.

   Not with how Davies writes. Look at the crap he wrote for Gatwa's final   
   episode and the totally bullshit surrounding Ruby Sunday who turned out   
   to mean nothing.

   I'm aware that neither Davies or McTighe can't writer them. All their   
   interested is attacking and lecturing their audience with degenerate far   
   left political messages and false narratives.

   I don't give a fuck about Tovey, his ex, or his repulsive obese   
   son/daughter. I always cared about Matthew McConaughey's character and   
   that of his daughter and her brother from the first 5 minutes of   
   Interstellar.

   It's only 10 paragraphs per episode.
