Doctor Who: The Stolen Plot Device

[matgb]

So, watched it last night, then went to the pub, then came back, and watched it again as a few points were bugging me. There now follows a poll, and that poll does contain spoilers.

[Poll #1213113]Overall, I enjoyed the show, but I enjoyed the penultimate show last season as well. This is Rusty's last ever finale, and I refer my honourable friends to the opinions expressed this time last year.

ETA: My friend the astrophysicist says: Basically, doing this with a planet will screw it up but he still enjoyed it.

I rather enjoyed it, though I don't think it warrants watching again. I liked various plotlines coming together (bees! disappearing planets!).

I thought the Shadow Proclamation was a real cop-out: there nowhere to go... Oh yes there is!

And it was neat getting together all the former assistants left. (What I want to know is why have they not managed to resurrect Leela? Surely the best assistant they have ever had. Well, she was when I was 14...)

Oh yes, the bees leaving - not at all knocked off from the dolphins returning home in HHGTTG, no sir. Bah.

Good riddance to Russell T.

I've now watched it 2.5 times (came in half way through SB watching it), and there are some subtleties that I'd missed, and some of the acting and dialogue is top notch.

But the bits that annoyed just got more annoying :-(

Might record it so I can watch it back to back with next weeks. Maybe.

I watched it again last night - prompted to see if it did warrant multiple views.

I thought it did actually - though I still think the Shadow Debating Society Proclamation is a real cop-out - although I can't believe they were just left sitting there: I am sure they (she?) will turn up again to fight the Daleks.

And Rose with a big gun is so very Buffy... (though not as cute, obviously).

Still, I think the subtleties probably passed me by!
