I'm convinced RTD was like, "Man, Jamie and Zoe's last episode was painful, how can I make it worse?" That does sound like him.
Thought experiment: if you could bring back any Classic Who set of Doctor+companions for a single season of modern Who-style development and character building, who would you pick? I probably wouldn't pick 2 plus Jamie and Zoe, but I'd be tempted. OOooOOOo. I like your thought experiment. I want to ask many people it. How to answer?!?!? Do I go with a favorite? (Four'n'Leela) A team that has all the building blocks for a rich treatment like that but could use the level of execution you get on modern TV? (Five'n'Tegan'n'Turlough) Something that desperately needs fixing? (*cough* Susan *cough*) I sure would not say no to Two, Jamie and Zoe, though. *frets* I might go with Five, Tegan, and Turlough.
