[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 5156474, member: 114"] I'll not put any spoilers directly in this first post, at least not without including some lines of text which will appear in the preview 'tooltip'. There is one thing which I think was great (and necessary) about this story, one thing which seemed mind-bogglingly stupid, and one thing which seemed to me indicative of a worrying trend. 1. Great and necessary [sblock] At last, a story with daleks which doesn't result in them all being destroyed. If you want to keep using them, you've got to let some get away! Only one escaped from the 'daleks vs cybermen' story, but he was then tossed away in a pointless later story. All the other 'dalek' stories has resulted in a wipe out for them. Here at last we have daleks escaping to take their brand of ultra-xenophobia onwards. Shame they look so silly with the humpback and all, but can't have everything. [/sblock] 2. Mind bogglingly stupid [sblock] The android is a bomb powerful enough to split the planet in two, but getting him to think emotional thoughts turns off the bomb and winds its count-down back? What kind of numpty builds a bomb like that? The whole scene doesn't make sense. What is worse, it led directly onto... [/sblock] 3. Worrying trend [sblock] Once again new assistant saves the day. Last week it would have all gone pear shaped if it wasn't for Pond's assistance. This week it would have all gone pear-shaped if it wasn't for Pond's assistance. In the last two weeks disturbed kissogram girl has miraculously jumped into the kind of 'knowing partnership' with the doctor which previous assistants took weeks to grow into. Bottom line - if it wasn't for the assistant, the last two weeks would have been disasters for the doctor. Makes him seem like a fool, and what's the point in watching a program about a fool of a doctor? It is what turned me off Tom Baker in the K-9/Romana years, when he bumbled along and the day was continually saved by his smarter, more savvy assistants. Gah! [/sblock] Cheers [/QUOTE]
