Honestly, by this point I'd almost rather he not have women in his stuff, because then he'd at least be honest about it. Only he it's not that he thinks women don't matter, just that we don't matter unless a man's around to give us purpose. (And, judging by his interviews, he thinks this in real fucking life and not just in his fiction.)
So true though, I mean Katherine Jenkins was pretty and all, and seemed nice, but what was she, really? She sings, she likes fish, she has a family, she was sick...she falls in love with boys?
Oh but I forget, shallow characterization is okay if it's done to be ~mysterious~...
Well yes, she is important, as a PLOT POINT--a "way" to save the ship, a means to an end. Still not really a character though...
And no, I'm not saying *I* could have done a better job, I'm not a scriptwriter, but I think that RTD could have, for instance--he has in the past...and it's not like shallow characterizations hasn't happened before in Moffat writing (see: The Girl in the Fireplace, or DW season 5).
