I don't have an alternative, but this is the thing, Doctor's Daughter doesn't bother me with regards to the actual daughter aspect. Seriously. Maybe on a future rewatch it'll piss me off, but I've seen it twice and that stuff is less annoying to me in the episode than -
- The fish that drowns in water (yes, I know they claim that it was sucked into quicksand, but if it's not obvious onscreen, then it fails)
- The fact they need warriors but don't copy Martha or Donna, without any explanation or excuse as to why not
- The one older semi-clone dude who is in charge makes no fucking sense in the context of the seven day war and the story as told.
- The Doctor's whole 'let this society be based on a man that wouldn't' speech
There's doubtless other stuff that annoys me that I haven't thought of, but from a base story point-of-view, the daughter is the least of the problems.
In terms of episodes that piss me off more than DD, Journey's End for lots of reasons. Six people to control a TARDIS, the daleks being remote controlled by Donna, the hypocrisy of the Doctor being angry about Doctor 2's genocide regarding the daleks, Rose, and Donna's demise being just some of what annoys me about it.
