Although this is technically the third episode with Ten and Rose together, it's the firs where neither of them spend a significant portion of time unconscious. So: what did you think of the way they behaved in this episode? Cute first date, or obnoxiously flirty? Cute first date! I mean I do think things like making the bet about "we are not amused" were a bit much at times. But generally it was just kind of fun to watch them have fun. Rose and the Doctor are just running around the universe having fun. They were on their way to a concert and the met Queen Victoria!!! And then there were werewolves!
Werewolves and monks and Queen Victoria, oh my! Did you like the plot of this episode? Queen Victoria is also the second historical figure we've now seen in New Who. Did you think she was portrayed respectfully? Do you like episodes with historical figures? Idrc about episodes with historical figures tbh. Some are better than others. Like this episode is ok. I think this was a script that RTD had to do at the last minute and it really shows. The ninja monks are hilarious though. But yeah, the plot of this episode isn't anything special.
In the end, Queen Victoria banishes both of them and establishes the Torchwood Institute. Do you think Queen Victoria's reaction was appropriate, or a bit melodramatic? Were the Doctor and Rose in the wrong, or was Queen Victoria unappreciative towards people who'd just saved her life? Knowing what becomes of Torchwood later in this series, what do you think its creation here suggests? I think it was kind of over the top, but at the same time... I can see how a woman from the 19th century would have such an adverse reaction to the experience that Queen Victoria had. I do think that the Doctor and Rose didn't take things super seriously because it's just another day at the office for them, and maybe they should have recognized that that isn't true for other people.
