Yes, it's that time of year again... it's the latest series of Doctor Who!!
And what a season opener we got... the Doctor, cute baby aliens, an insane villain, Catherine Tate and... ROSE!!!!
The story wasn't exactly deep nor meaningful. But it wasn't meant to be and it was fun. This episode was funny, endearing and the camera work was gorgeous. The scene when the Doctor and Donna see each other for the first (second) time and talk through glass was hilarious.
Sarah Lancashire was great as Miss Foster, and the brilliant big reveal where Donna rushes up and leaves a message with a blonde girl who turns to camera... and it's ROSE!
The best opening of New Who yet? YES!
As bland as I found Martha, I really enjoyed the Judoon Smith & Jones story.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I am amazed that the reveal of Rose was kept a secret until broadcast. These days it is difficult not to find spoilers if you want to find them. But as far as I know, this didn't appear anywhere ahead of Saturday.
Planet Gallifrey is pretty good for spoilers and speculation if you are looking out for them. It's listed somewhere on my blogroll.
