Re: 29.07: 42

It wasn't a bad episode, but there were a few holes in it which have been pointed out. The first about Elvis vs Beatles No. 1's, the second about the 'real-time' seeming to speed up at some points, and how the heck are you meant to trace a phone that is not even in the same century as you, let alone he same galaxy?! (Unless Mr. Saxon has given them some special tech that only certain 'people' have access to.)

It was a very environmentally friendly episode, packed full of recycled ideas! I think I'd set myself up to believe this would be a phenomenal episode, but was sadly let down. It was above average overall for the NuWho, but for this series, was a bit below par.

I think that the reason for the initial events in next weeks story have been hinted at, not through dialogue, but with the look that The Doctor had as Martha returned on board - that look of sheer depressing realisation, that he has suffered more, and is more vulnerable than he would like to show.

As has been said, the next two weeks should offer a belter of a story... but we'll leave that for the next threads.
