 Well, I mean that, but I also mean more exploration of the nature of a 
 ship which is at once a machine and organic, and which is sentient and 
 capable of telepathic communication. I'd like to see the TARDIS emerge 
 more as a fully rounded character. In this series it has acted 
 (literally) as deus ex machina; the parameters and limitations of its 
 power have not been explored in any way. I'd like to see that remedied.
