rewrite an episode: The Doctor's Daughter

I don't know if I'm the only one who does this, but sometimes I see an episode and think of ways to make it just a little bit better (well, better in my opinion, at least). This is true even of episodes that I liked, which brings me to my proposal for a rewrite-an-episode meme.

The idea: Take an episode from "Doctor Who" that you think could have been better if it had been written slightly differently. Try to keep within the overall structure of the episode as broadcast -- in other words, create a rewrite, not an AU. Think in terms of being the story editor -- if you were editing the script, what notes would you have given back to the writer?
