I paid a visit to OG, and found that my feelings for this episodes are identical to virtually everyone elses.

That is a first!!

I actually loved this episode. Lazily you could say it was a redux of The Impossible Planet and The Satan Pit but it felt like so much more to me.

The Doctor - I almost thought this week with that excessive streaming through his body that he could be on the verge of regeneration after all. David was fine in chanelling a possessed Doctor and he rightly placed the blame on McDonnell but his closeness to Martha now will echo Rose's if they don't rewrite certain dialogue.

Martha - Yeah again I liked and while the Rose style dialogue annoyed, her take charge action in trying to save the Doctor more than made up for it. Her flirting with Riley? Didn't bother me! Problems with Francine? Somewhat interesting and taking it out on McDonnell? Great as far as I was concerned! The moment between Martha and The Doctor as she was blasted off with Riley had that chilling effective silence which dramatically worked.

Francine/Saxon's people - Maybe it's the actress but I still can't warm to Martha's mother and a part isn't neccessarily willing to want to either if I'm being frank. I get her concerns for her daughter but the way she conveys them and the fact that she's working with Saxon's henchmen does her no favours. Is Saxon The Master or not? He certainly has the trappings of it and he is definitely setting The Doctor up for a fall too.

McDonnell/Corwin - The husband and wife team essentially from hell when you think about it. McDonnell was played to a well able Michelle Collins but still the silly bint was responsible for all the ship's problems. Korwin screaming "burn with me" was still effective even if it was blasted out excessively towards the end.

Scannell/Riley - I want to write slash about these two but I'll refrain because out of everyone from this ship, they were the most vocalised and interesting of the bunch really. Scannel got some good moments with The Doctor but overall it was Riley's scenes with Martha that made parts of the episode for me. Go Martha for snogging him.

Abby/Erina/Ashton - Standard non-vocalised red shirts who were there as a body count and little else, though Erina's "kill me now" spiel was hilarious before her wish got oh so granted.

Loved it a lot but looking more forward to next week's instalment so a 9/10.

McDonnell: “That is brilliant”
The Doctor: “I know”.

Francine: “What’s this, a pub quiz?”
Martha: “Yeah, pub quiz”
Francine: “Using your phone is cheating”.

Martha: “You don’t know The Doctor, I believe in him”
Riley: “Then you’re lucky to have someone to believe in”.

Scannell (re TARDIS): “This is never your ship”
The Doctor: “Compact and another word – robust”.

The Doctor: “Thank you”
Martha: “Don’t mention it”

it was lovely and exciting i loved it

now that what i call an episode with substance instead typical action-pack story-line they made it slow and with some twist-i'm happy he found someone but Martha was stupid to let him keep the watch she should of taken it when she had the chance at start of the episode. now he has make a choice?

It was awesome, wasn`t it Bala?

I agree with bala

Why didn't Martha look after the watch ?????

Great episode tho, much better than last weeks rehashed spaceship in the middle of nowhere in danger ep

They would have aid she'd nicked it.

Yes i agree, its nice to have a subtle ep, same reason that love and monsters was one of my favourites in series 2. and i like the way the family appear totally psychotic.

I don`t know whether we can actually call The Family "psychotic".

We have no knowledge about them, other than they are after The Doctor for some reason.

Queen Victoria, don`t forget, set up Torchwood to fight the Doctor. Queen Elizabeth 1 also wanted to catch the Doctor. The Daleks AND the Cybermen hate the Doctor. Not forgetting, of course, that the Time Lords themselves were not very happy with the Doctor on a number of occasions - and even made him regenerate and exile him to earth (which is how Jon Pertwee became the Doctor).

The Doctor must have done something to cause them to chase him. And knowing their abilities in keeping up with him no matter which time he went to, he knew he would have to come up with a plan to escape should they come too close. Hence his building of the helmet, as a last resort. We could see how painful it was to use, so it`s not something he`d want to use unless he really absolutely had no option.

i didnt call them psychotic i said they appear psychotic. with the wide-eyed looks and stuff.

i wish i could just say things on the forum and just have someone say 'yes pseu i like that too' instead of....nevermind.

i dont claim to know everything about dr who i just really really enjoy it and enjoy posting here in the dr who thread. just humor me ok? im not here for arguements.

this isn't that type of place-we argue quite a lot on this place it way things go on here. wouldn't it be boring if we agreed on everything you said?

yes, pseu, I like that too.

I agree with your sentence when you wrote "they would said she`d nicked it"

And yes, the family do "APPEAR" to be psychotic.

thanks A the V

think you hit a sore spot there feel a bit foolish now after the tantrum. apologies

friends again?
