He never uses the sonic screwdriver as a weapon directly, only as a tool to make weapons. They did make fun of it a lot in 'The Empty Child', which I thought was rather clever. And the Doctor misplaces it or leaves it behind often enough that it doesn't become too easy a fallback. I'll admit the Christmas episodes aren't as good as the regular series episodes, but I still enjoy them and hope they keep up the tradition. I particularly enjoyed the chase in the TARDIS. It was great that modern video technology allows them to do something like that. I liked the way the Doctor jerry-rigged a control system just using some string and elastic bands, and using the kids in the other car as audience surrogates was quite fun. It really made that scene for me.(Edit) Back to my previous post complaining about the Rachnos Empress's lack of movement - now that I know it was an animatronic and not a digital effect I'm more impressed with it and understand why she couldn't move around as much as I would have liked. It was an amazing costume.</blockquote>
