I was particularly annoyed by the "tapping into the psychic field" thing, because earlier in the season, one of the 'Confidential' episodes made a big point of saying that everything in the show had a rational explanation, even if it was one that wasn't clear. They gave the rational explanation for Archangel, that it was a subliminal message being transmitted in the mobile phone carrier. Unfortunately, that doesn't allow for Martha's plan, even if she were somehow able to get everyone on Earth thinking the word Doctor at precisely the same time to coincide with a countdown that no-one on Earth was actually aware was happening.My other huge annoyance with the episode is that the TARDIS got fixed so easily. The Doctor stated that he fused the time circuits permanently in the last episode. The Master has had eighteen months with it, and couldn't fix it. The Doctor gets it back, and within a few days has not only stripped out the Paradox Engine parts, and has fixed the damage Jack did, and has rebuilt the time circuits? Nope, that was just too much for me.It was a let-down on the scale of "Phantom Menace", because the first parts had been so good as to raise expectations hugely.Really? I didn't like that at all. It just about worked last year, when he at least had the Runaway Bride throwing questions at him. This time it just seemed... wrong somehow. However, all will be forgiven if they remember that the Ninth Doctor should be onboard, even if it only takes the form of DT commenting that he has to avoid CE to avoid paradoxes.</blockquote>
