[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 7515193, member: 1125"] yeah the episode was a bit too preachy for my liking with its take on the evils of corporatism, industrial waste dumping, vivisection and American politics. I felt like I was watching something from the 90s (which may have been intentional) and the OTT of the ammoral American business tycoon was just cringey (He was worse than Henry van Statten the guy who owned the Internet and the Dalek who got emootions from Rose). In fact the whole episode seem to be channelling a lot of past series and the end scene when the Doctor gives the speech about them having to be really sure and she cant give any guarantees was so very very familiar. The bits I did like were the Doctors developing personality (its got bits like Tenant, Smith, Davidson and Troughton) and I'm likeing the accents too. The animatronics of the spiders was also much better than past efforts from the Doctors creature labs and I did like the interactions between companions and Yaz' family, and also Grahams grief . The mother spider suffocating under her own weight (despite still being able to cling to the ceiling) was just hokey and I have no idea of the logic of the Doctors plan of trapping the spiders in a small room until they starve to death? -um, I'd think that shooting them was certainly more humane than the likelihood of them starting to cannibalise each other to survive. Not to mention - how do they stop other people going to the hotel and opening the safe room door? Anyway it was an okay episode, nothing noteworthy, but a let down after last weeks glories [/QUOTE]
