Episode Review: Planet of the Dead
I've been taking a break from fandom recently, mainly due to real life and just the general need to take a break.
BUT
Planet of the Dead on Saturday?
Generally an average episode really, on the whole I was a bit meh.
But it wasn't terrible, and there were quite a few funny bits. And, most importantly LESS EMO!TEN.
When he said 'I'm a Time Lord' (or whatever it was) I added "But now they're all gone and I'm all alone. Boohoo" but HE DIDN'T SAY IT. I was in shock! Must be Gareth Roberts' influence.
All in all, a nice little filler. There were a few things I had a problem with, but I was pleasantly surprised to find I didn't want to strangle RTD at the end of it.
Lady Christina - a bit Mary Sueish but quite likable, I like the way she took control of the situation.
Malcolm - adorable, he even made me forgive the "OMG TEH DOCTAH IS GOD!!!" thing everyone at UNIT seems to have going. I'm pretty sure it wasn'tlike that in the old series.
The Prophecy. THE PROPHECY. *flails* HE WILL KNOCK FOUR TIMES <---- That's the part where I lost it. I've seen those photos on set, I've heard the rumours. I'm not sure I've ever squeed so hard. :DDDD
So, overall rating? About 8/10 - I added a mark just for that last line.
And to all those that celebrate it, I hope you had a nice Easter. :)
