Not all young viewers want to see endless romance and Buffy-style storylines. Because you know that is the age demographic they are doing this for. They insult young viewers capacity for intelligent ideas with such drivel. I am happy the series is looking at past Doctor/companion teams like Pertwee/Jo Grant for hopefully new ideas. This season has been very 70s-ish in look and having an older Doctor who is a fan of Jon Pertwee really helps.

Seriously. This. I couldn't put it better (Well... I probably could but then I'm just awesome
) but you are absolutely spot on. It is angsty/buffy/'teen' audience instead of the traditional family audience. It just astonishes me it really does. You're alienating large portions of the fanbase with the romance stuff.
And while we're at it, I'd take it back to the old format of 5 stories of 4-6 episodes of 25 minutes. I'd much prefer that.

See I disagree. Regardless on your thoughts to the impossible girl story, it was at least different, whereas now they've gone back to their failsafe mode of 'give the companion a boyfriend to ring every episode' which is dull and boring to me. Its been done and then some. So I don't think that they have done more with her storyline, they've done less, as they're doing what has been done with every Doctor Who assistant in the modern era: Chuck in a love interest.
