What the shit was that? Probably there were bits that I didn't think wtf at. Mostly involving being shallow about Timothy Dalton.

The room hurled many variations of "hurry up and die!!" at the screen. Alas, tend to agree. WHAT HAPPENED TO PLOT OMG WHAT WHAT USUALLY ONE OF THOSE IS HELPFUL. I do not want to say anything about the womens because omg OMG WHAT DECADE DO YOU THINK THIS IS WTF.

Matt Smith moves beautifully. I hope he is good.

In conclusion, it was better than Monster of Peladon. WELL DONE.

Pretty much, yeah. And a couple of minutes from the end (even though he got killed twenty minutes earlier - Rusty just thought there was a bit more Ten!angst he had to cram in...).

It was radiation poisoning, right? So "Planet of the Spiders" except with no dignity whatsoever, somehow that just fits.

Three/five stories bore me rather a lot, and they seem dead keen on stripping UNIT of ALL DIGNITY.

It always mystified me cos I love 3 & 7, albeit for different reasons.

As one of my student drinking buddies used to say, "Dignity?! There is no dignity!!" So, yeah, about as embarrassing as a student drinking session, really.

I guess some people will like it, saying it shows the Doctor showing real emotion, responding realistically to his predicament etc, but for me it was reminiscent of the terrible "they break my heart" thing from The Next Doctor - just an excuse for pure angst-wallowing, and completely unworthy of a stoic, selfless hero like the good Doctor.

Although you could argue it was totally in character for Ten as written by Rusty...

I just watched a clip of the regen itself, and I'm starting to think he actually died from not being to find the speaker volume control before his eardrums exploded. I hope to God the sound mixers TURN IT DOWN for S5.
