This season's theme: Don't call while crossing the street

Still ranting.
The funniest part of the season: Crossing the street to make a phone call and getting hit by a car. In a TV series in which a large number of human beings are killed by various aliens/bugs/germs, the death method of being hit by a car while crossing the road is ordinary to bizarre, normal to surprise, and it is eye-catching.
It's about the only segment in the main story that is eye-catching and full of hope for the screenwriter.

The screenwriter must be madly in love with the mother-in-law of "choose me or him". Playing once is not enough, and actually playing it again.
The natural law of the plot: When faced with a choice between a boyfriend and a doctor, 1) the female partner must choose the dead one (you will realize it after losing it); 2) The doctor has the ability to regenerate; 3) The female partner must choose her boyfriend.
This has become a panacea for screenwriters to save (or destroy) the relationship between the Doctor and his girlfriend.
In the Doctor-Amy-Rory relationship, the writers played it through.
In the Doctor-Clara-Pan relationship, the writers play it all over again.

As for the relationship between Doctor and Amy, after Amy forcibly kissed Doctor, it is very obvious and the screenwriter must know that if the relationship between the two is allowed to develop according to this model and trend, the screenwriter will meet the fans after a few episodes. Rotten eggs and rotten tomatoes from broken windows.
So the screenwriter clenched the steering wheel of the plot, took a sharp turn in Amy's Choice, and forcibly intervened to create Rory's suspended animation to "force" Amy to choose Rory.
(The screenwriter shows a smile behind the screen, is it ups and downs? Touched?) Sorry, I just feel deliberate, boring and annoying.
This kind of alternative is not necessary. If the screenwriter did not play Dr. Amy's kiss with stimuli to attract the audience, there would be no need for Amy's Choice to make a sharp turn to change the doctor-girlfriend relationship to avoid audience loss and The eggs that smashed into themselves appeared.

811-812 actually staged another two-choice.
Fan was forcibly killed by the screenwriter simply and rudely (at least this time being hit by a car is a bit of a novelty, and it’s a direct surprise), Clara chose Fan.
However, this choice did not have to appear.
If the screenwriter wants to create a character who is smart, brave, opinionated, controlling and hates being controlled, the character will not like his boyfriend because his partner on adventures doesn't like his boyfriend, or his boyfriend doesn't like him going out on adventures , Is this kind of thing uneasy, tangled, hesitant, and constantly arranging for the whole half-season?
A character who is smart, brave, opinionated, controlling and hates being controlled can completely refuse to choose one of the two, and make his travel companion a travel companion and his boyfriend as a boyfriend, and the two coexist.

The screenwriter of Naihe is madly in love with the alternative.
why. Can't it just be a children's sci-fi drama with one adventure story per episode, instead of the emotional drama of the year?
Could it be that the choice between two men and one woman is the legendary "dramatic conflict" that the screenwriter thinks?

All right.


—————————————————————
For the writer/screenwriter to intentionally (or actually unintentionally) manipulate the reader/audience’s feelings, it will generally have the following effects:
1) Reader/audience Moved. The reader/viewer does not feel that the writer/writer is trying to manipulate emotions.
2) The reader/viewer is moved. The reader/viewer feels that the writer/writer is trying to manipulate emotions.
3) The reader/viewer is not moved. The reader/viewer feels that the writer/writer is trying to manipulate emotions.
4) The reader/viewer is not moved. The reader/viewer does not feel that the writer/writer is trying to manipulate emotions.

1 is the best case.
4 has nothing to say.
For me, the plot of DW during the RTD period is either case 2 or case 4.
The plot of DW during the Magical period generally belongs to Case 3.

For many viewers, Magict's storyline will fall into either Scenario 1 or Scenario 2.
It's just a teardrop question.
It's just that his plot doesn't happen to touch me.
