I must say that Jack brother being evil and John not so evil was a bit of a let down

*nods* I totally agree! And Jack must be at least 2140 but my quick calculations O.O!

Maybe she is the super-villain for this season?

Now, I really like that idea! I guess we'll have to wait and see though...

I figured Owen would die too, but Tosh was a complete shock. And, yeah, I lost it when her video popped up too. I think the whole Grey thing would've worked a lot better if the guy had been a better actor. Still, a good finale, though, like you say it makes me wonder where they're going next.

And I really liked Donna too! I was so relieved they made it clear Donna wouldn't be a romantic interest. I like it better when the companion is just that. I thought that was a brilliant first episode, I can't wait to see the rest of it. I'm excited for next week, being the huge Ancient Geek I am, but I'll no doubt be finding inaccuracies to frown at.

I'm glad I didn't know actually because I think it would have overshadowed the preceding episodes for me. I just wish that she'd told Owen that she was hurt, but it is like her not to want to worry someone when they are going through a crisis of their own.

Oh, me too and I suspect that their relationship is going to have a healthy dose of humour ^_^!

*reads* 'Ancient Greek' *thinks* What??? *re-reads* Oh, Geek *G*! Look forward to you sharing what they get wrong ^_~!

I'm still not sure how I feel about Ashes to Ashes. I mostly like it for Gene, Ray and Chris. I don't feel all that strongly about Alex. I do like the harlequin from David Bowie's AMV, though. He's cool.

Torchwood impressed me so much. When you constantly put characters in harm's way, something bad has to happen eventually. They really hit home hard that Torchwood is dangerous work. I'll miss Tosh, but I sometimes felt they didn't know what to do with her, outside of her bad luck with guys.

I don't know if I'm going to watch Doctor Who any more. I love Donna (and Martha), but the fact that Rose has already shown up bothers me. It was hard enough for me as a non-Rose fan to hear her mentioned in almost every single episode last series. I may wait and see if I feel like watching it after the series is over. ^_~

Very, although very creepy at the same time! I read somewhere that David Bowie gave them the okay to use him for free, which is amazingly generous of him, I think.

*nods* You are right and they were very keen to point out in the Declassified programmes that Torchwood staff don't generally live beyond their mid-thirties.

You know, I don't mind emailing you after I've watched an episode to let you know if it is Rose free or not *hugs*!

You are SO SWEET!!! I don't mind her being in at the end of the series. I just don't want her to be part of every episode. I felt like she overshadowed Martha too much. I'm an old school Who fan. Companions come and go. I get over it quickly. ^_^

Exit Wounds... it made me cry my eyes out!
Owen and Tosh, such a heartbreak.

And though I was ready for not liking Donna in the new Dr. Who series I actually did. There was some lame humour- to mate versus a mate, to name an excample, but, hey, it was fun.

The one wtf? was Rose; I hope she won't be in each episode-
but I do hope to see Martha again-
I'm such a fan!!

I know! Although I like to think that they were reunited again.

*laughs* Yeah, I suspect that there is much more to come but I do like cheesy flavoured humour, as long as it's not too OTT ^_^!

Oh, me too. Hopefully it is just a teaser for later in the series.

but I do hope to see Martha again-
I'm such a fan!!

Really? I didn't know that! But I know that she is in at least one episode *hugs*!
