Ok I suppose I should have started a new thread but I can't remember
the name of last night's episode and I'm not going on the net to find
out. I want to watch this season like the old days with no more info
than the Listener gave more than a week ahead.
I was a bit worried about the start with the Doctor appearing unwell,
but as this is my first regeneration thought maybe we are getting new
info (like better fxs) so this is supposed to be how it was, but I
knew David Tennant did more than 1 story so that was ok.
Nice to see a female PM who is prepared to stand up to the U.S. but I
didn't think she needed to order the weapon to be fired.
I liked the sword fight. There haven't been any decent ones on tv
since Robin Hood IMHO.
Bit worried about the reasoning of order to fire weapon but I was
brought up on westerns where there were always someone trying to
prove they were better than the best gunslinger. I was worried it
might encourage more aliens rather that repel them.
Only niggle was who the aliens were and why they thought they had the
right to enslave the earth.
Unfortunately I can't make the chat tonight but am looking forward to
next week's show and with the World Cup out of the way I might be
finally able to watch the end of last year's shows.
