wiseheartSo, the last bunch of my thougths re: New Who, Series 2.
Fear Her
- Not bad, not bad at all. Of course, a child being the tool of a destructive entity is a cliché done to death, but at least this time the entity wasn't really malevolent. It didn't intend to harm anyone, it was just lonely. Plus, the atmosphere of the episode was very well done, especially the actress playing Chloe's mother did a great job.
Army of Ghosts/Doomsday
- Well; considering what we've learned about the Battle of Canary Wharf afterwards, the actual destruction seen onscreen was rather anticlimactic. Sorry, but it really was. You'd never have realized from viewing just these episodes that the death count was over seven hundred. Sorry.
- Liked Dr. Rajesh Singh a lot. He was a great guy, even had a backbone, taking responsibility and offering himself for investigation. What a pity he was killed. I might work out an AU in which he survived.
- The toilet cleaner/vacuum pump the Daleks use to access all possible power and information sources still looks absolutely ridiculous. It killed my best efforts to take the episode even remotely seriously. Again, sorry, but they weren't scary a bit. Rather stupid-looking.
- Loved the banter between the Daleks and the Cybermen, though. It was hysterically funny.
- And whyle Jackie Tyler is still an annoying git, she was very right about whatever she said to that stupid, selfish Mary Sue that was her daughter. 'Nuff said.
- Loved Mickey and the gang. GO, GANG!!! Pete Tyler was half-decent, too.
- Yvonne Hartman was an interesting character. Stubborn enough that not even Cyber-upgrading could kill her personality entirely. Impressive.
- Absolutely hated the tear-jerking ending of the whole thing. But again, I never bought into the Doctor/Rose thing. Come on, even though Ten is an idiot, why would he fall for Rose, when he could have had Madame de Pompadour? Oh, please!
Now I'm considering to re-watch Series One of Torchwood, so that I can copare bits of information. Although, with the Rustoid at the steering wheel, they might prove compeltely controversial.
