Maybe I'm not as critical as I should be, but fuck that. I watch this show for the fun of it, not to criticize every single little thing.
Hear, hear. Because, seriously? Time-traveling alien and a blue box that's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside? I'm pretty sure I'm not watching this show for its scientific accuracy. :)
This episode made me tear up, too. Maybe that means I'm a sucker; but I prefer to think that it means that the writers and actors kind of nailed it. Even if the score was a little overbearing.
You know, I defended the score for Partners in Crime, but I really do think Murray Gold overdid it this week.
That notwithstanding, I LURVED this episode (as you could probably tell from stars_fell's review). I should probably get her to start taking notice of my husband's layperson comments from the recliner, his opinion on Doctor Who can sometimes be refreshing. :D
I really did almost cry at the pyroclastic flow coming in on the town and the family Caecilii huddling together. Peter Capaldi is precious.

I've been listening to the S3 soundtrack rather a lot; I was thinking that my familiarity with the music was making me take more notice of it. Though I think PiC might have actually been a bit worse; for the great majority of FoP, I didn't feel the music was particularly overbearing.
It's a shame, really--I think Murray Gold is really talented. The music he wrote for Human Nature/Family of Blood is just lovely, and the Master's theme music is made of win.
Murray Gold perplexes me. He's done stuff that I really like--the Doomsday theme, the Master's swirly music of doom, that awesome action music at the end of Utopia that I'm pissed didn't really make it onto the album--stuff that I'm "meh" on, and then stuff that makes me wonder what the hell he was thinking.
