Complete fail, Amazon. COMPLETE FAIL.
In other news, I watched Planet of the Dead again, with heart_of_man.
( A lot of thinky thoughts on two subjects, Doctor and romance and RTD vs Moffat )

Good point about the Doctor being flirtatious just by nature. He's incredibly charismatic and it's not too surprising that others would be attracted to that. Besides, it's not like there's some rule against being attracted to others after sending Rose away with your duplicate. But it felt really IC to me that he wanted to cut off that connection before it got any deeper. He has some serious healing to do.
I don't think it's bad necessarily that RTD is borrowing some Moffat-like things for his episodes - Moffat usually writes some entertaining and tight scripts. Just shows how versatile RTD is as a writer. Plus, some things felt VERY RTD to me like the flying bus and Killer Stingrays creating wormholes of doom (WTF?).
Also, I think the lack of attention paid to the bus passengers was balanced out by Malcolm and Magambo's characterizations. Especially Magambo's. She, what, had maybe 5-10 minutes worth of screentime? Yet we were given an almost complete arc for her. So that's two characters outside of the two main ones who were developed and given real personalities. Not bad.
